I am just about to go to bed and my brain is honestly fried!!! Today I thought I would bite the bullet and let Lee and co show me pretty much all that my mind could take, Whether it was learning more about Discord, Understanding the FG Website (WHICH I DIDNT KNOW WE HAD 🙂) or having a fun filled evening on 7 days with everyone. I think was all about getting use out of my new PC which since I have had it, I have only really used it for work. We started today around 1pm, @GazzaGarrattshowing me through Discord and FG along with Dave I believe, sorry my memory isn't the best and I am very tired. Was really great to learn if I am honest as Discord is not my strongest point. So in return I told lee I would bet on Blackburn to win today to which they lost hahaha (He now hates me) In the evening I jumped on 7 days with Lee, @RenFengge @Diddums @TurboR56Mini @crispymorgan @Ajay for a quality night shooting up some zombies. Was genuinely humbled that they all took so much time out to help little old me and show me what to do, even managed to survive the Zombie threat which I am kinda impressed with. To celebrate me and Didds did an airshow on the Gyrocopters however I think our landing skills are in need of some serious training 🤣🤣 Loved how Lee and Turbo let me have the first condo in the new pad and me and Turbo have turned it into a luxurious Log Cabin!!! Looks Ace!!! Air Traffic Tower coming along nicely too 😁 Anyways......Thanks everyone, needed this today, was tiring but genuinly an awesome day. #GGFG

We organised 1 full team that gave Deep Stone Crypt a go on Day 1, managed to pull together 2 full fireteams for the refreshed Vault of Glass Day 1 as well...and this time out it feels like we have more than ever around to try out the new raid on Day 1, but also on Day 2 as soon as contest mode comes to an end. I want this topic to capture everyone's interest at FG, so please pick an option on the Poll but ALSO please PLEASE, comment below on how you're feeling and if there's anything specific to mention. I genuinely think we won't have to grind too hard for Day 1 at all due to contest mode. However, the more power you can get up, the easier it will be to take damage from Day 2 of the raid, which is always a huge difference from past experience. I'd love to get 3 or even 4 teams to do it on Day 1 at FG! At the end of the day, yes, we all want to complete it but very rarely a Day 1 squad gets through it. It really is for the FG ride and experience and working out the puzzles after going in blind without looking at anyone else! Taking 7 hours with @Baabcat , @Greboth, @Bluebear , etc on Day 1 for Deep Stone Crypt and beating only the first puzzle was insane but probably a better feeling than sometimes completing raids even now 😄 So, who's in FG! Lets make this 2022 a bloody good one to help one and all 👊 P.S. Week One completion usually gives you access to buy something pretty unique at the Bungie Store. My coat from Deep Stone Crypt is probably one of the best things i've ever owned too and a great reminder of what that week was like 🧡

We're on our way to do a plentiful of raids this year, probably the most we've ever done (again!) which is insane. Some of the more experienced folk here want to start trying "low-manning" raids, so essentially rather than a full fireteam, try 5, 4 and 3 man raids. Sometimes this can sound more daunting to some and others I know they are very interested but probably don't know how to say or ask if they can be a part of one. So let's use this thread to capture your interest and work out what to do in terms of planning time, dates and then loadouts. Let's be clear from the outset, i'm sure this is something that takes time to achieve and usually always longer than 6-man raids. We all need to have a patience with one and another and also be happy to commit the little extra time you may need in that 2,3,4 hour raid. I'm sure the expereinced ones can chime in and explain when we need longer slot times for specific raids. So, lets chime your name below and also good to here about which ones to start off 5 or 4 manning with if people can share this too? 👍

I'm super happy (and pretty astounded) to announce that this is the 4th year that the FG Awards has been a thing. I stopped for a very brief moment today and I realised we're super lucky to have something so unique and one of a kind for a family like this. As a reminder for newer FGers, I set up the FG Awards as a way to recognise a few people within the FG family to say thank you for what they have done to help others. I hope that the below is an enjoying read of all our winners, especially with 2 new additional awards for Play of the Game and Top Contributor. Let's not waste any more time to get into 2021's special winners! Young FGer of the Year I think its credit to this guy that even @Diddums thought that he was much nearer 30 due to how he handles himself online, having a laugh with everyone else. Already the most experienced Destiny raider out of everyone, it hasn't stopped him wanting to help the most inexperienced people here at FG. If everyone was as helpful, patient and damn right crazy as him at his age, we wouldn't have a problem when the next generation have to step up and make a difference. Thanks for being a part of FG, Lee'esh. Long may it continue. Winner - @Leeesh13 - Lee'esh FG Noobie of the Year For quite possibly a shy guy to start with, he has really understood the spirit of FG from our first meeting. Willing to try many games with FG where possible and really contribute across lots of topics all over FG. He even raised money for Alzheimer's Association this year which was great to see him share this with us here. Wanting to learn more and not miss out on the laughs we have on Monday Night Football with the FGFC FIFA team and a regular on FG Friday shenanigans, Ant has made himself more than just one of the crowd here this year. Winner - @Antpool84 - Ant Guardian Down Award A close one this year, with many people making the funny epic failures of most FG evenings. Previous winners like @techno and @Diddums had chances as they get shotgunned in the Crucible, alongside @slamminbones sweary outbursts on GT Sport evenings, and @TurboR56Mini epic fails on Nightfalls with the FG Destiny crew. Possibly because his accumulative dying record would probably now challenge any Destiny player in the universe, it's about time Bob was recognised for his great achievements after playing - and dying - so much on Destiny to get all his accolades. I think Bob would spend a whole evening dying over and over if you offered him 5 points off a Triumph. And that's without trying too! Winner - @Baabcat - Bob FG Archbishop of Banterbury He thought his depressive side could be so funny? I didn't. But the fact that he has his own word (Tomerisms) for when he says something so bloody random on FIFA, Rocket League or FG Friday nights, he probably deserves to feel on a special pedestal for a one shiny moment. Always trying to find that annoying little joke that you want to hate but laugh at, Tom is frustrating and fun to have around. Now, if this award goes a little way to helping him calm his deep thoughts he likes to share post midnight on a weekend of gaming then i'm all in! Winner - @LordBaguette - Tom FG Skills Award Similar to how last year's winner Kenny @IRaMPaGe has knocked out some amazing plays that he shares on his PPR and in the Videos section, there's another one here that if you don't check PPRs enough then you'd find way more about your fellow FGers!! Its been a tough end to the year for this one, but let's face it to be on the cusp of 500 - yes, FIVE HUNDRED - Platinum Playstation trophies is actually insane. I've kept up with his updates and he's surpassed a few hundred since he has been here and I sometimes think he'll never stop until he gets into the top 100 in the world, which isn't far away. Paul, I'll be watching for your 500th and after a well deserved break, hopefully to see you hit 600 in the future. Winner - @slamminbones - Paul FG Play of the Game A new award to this year and something that I would defnitely love for more entries into the Video section of all your famous and funny moments next year. This one for me sticks out like a sore thumb, and whilst its not the most ultimately the best goal we've ever scored with F.G.F.C on FIFA 21 this past year, it was an incredible goal and finish to an amazing game early on in the promotion charge from Division 10 to Division 1 in clubs. It also epitomised how that has been such a successful game for FG here with at least 17 FGers joining the club and playing hundreds and in some cases, thousands of games together. Final minute, after having just equalised moments before, a throw-in from one side passed through @Stretch616 , @G_dub52 and to @GazzaGarratt who then launches a huge long ball which could only give us the chance to win - and Lurch provides the scenes with the most emphatic header we've seen on a FIFA game. A quick link to the special moment in our video section can be found below! Last Minute Scenes! Winner - @J-Lurch - James FG Top Contributor If we don't have people here bringing us the latest info and news, alongside contributing to some great conversations then we just wouldn't simply survive. There's been one person that whilst we don't game much online, it hasn't stopped him from being around, sharing and showing others how easy it is to do for every FGer that comes here rather than all the other rubbish places on the interwebz. Its not just the quantity and we probably should recognise his support a lot more than we should have over recent years - even if his opinions can be unpopular at times! James, we wouldn't have this place without you, mate. Winner - @J4MES OX4D - James FGer of the Year Despite being at FG for only 16 months, she has made a monumental difference to the outcome of FG over the past year. Gathering troops, usually at 3am in the morning for her, organising raids and events. This place went from what we thought was an 'active' Destiny clan to having the most active raids we've ever done in the past 7 years of the game being out. Not only supporting this, but supporting other FG Friday events, setting up servers, creating a buzz about FG on topics, interesting viewpoints and actively encouraging new, less frequent people to show up more often around FG. A heart of gold with massive support from her husband Carl @TurboR56Mini too, we wouldn't have been able to give away such incredible gifts as part of the FGFGF, like the two PS5s a few months ago. She's also there for people on the personal level, and like many of you know how I will always be there for you, it is equally seen through what La has done for others behind closed doors. What's even better, is that we haven't had many women as part of FG and to think that someone like this can have such a positive impact on all aspects of FG, its shows how much we've opened our eyes and should be willing to do more for all FGers. Proud to call her my friend at my hour of need, we all appreciate and salute you for the effort you put here, La. Winner - @RenFengge - La FG Hall of Fame It was a delight to see this American pop back into our lives, especially after being pretty ill for a very long time this year - something I appreciate many wouldn't know but lets face it, its why we become best friends here that some of us know this important stuff. Its good to see this lover of all uber-hard games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, etc back posting and looking forward to his playthrough verdicts and support in 2022 when we all pick up Elden Ring. Thanks for being an FGer for life big man. Winner - @Jason - Jason Aaaand we're done! No one expected 2021 to be as hard as 2020 but we all got through it thankfully. I'm sure some things will continue to be rocky and not always go our way, but i'm pleased to report we're all still here, bringing the heat and good vibes. All of this to make sure we have the best 2022 we could possibly have. Keep being there for each other. You really do not understand the gravity of your presence at FG for others. It surpasses many extraordinary things people can't explain in life. GGFG P.S. I really hope more of you FGers can join the other 36 so far confirmed people all across the world to join us in Wales in November 2022!! >> Biggest FG Meet Up Ever - Nov 2022

I said i'd never do a Wolf Run or Mud Run ever again....but with the thoughts of wanting to do something for Charity here at FG, I don't think there's anything better than doing a huge Wolf Run with all people here at FG raising money for a Charity we voted for some time ago. I'm hating the though of it whilst I write it but, hey, this is FG, and we need to keep giving something back as thats what we do best. Event Wolf Run - Warwickshire (link below) The Wolf Run - Wild Running - Mud Run - Trail Run - Obstacle Run - 10k run across raw natural terrain, including open countryside, woodland, lakes & thick mud THEWOLFRUN.COM The Wolf Run is not your average mud run, trail run or obstacle run - it’s all three and then some! The only Wild Run in the UK, it’s a hardcore 10k run across raw natural terrain, including open ground, woodland, lakes... Dates 23rd or 24th April 2022 We can select the most available date for all Eligibility I'm thinking for this one, we could actually ask partners if they wanted to come along and run with FG for the big day if they can raise funds too! On the 24th, even kids can run on a smaller course if they are 7-17 so lets see what interest we have! Cost £60 per adult We can enter a Team Entry - "Wolf Runners who want to run as a pack with their friends and family and for every pack of 5 runners, we give you the fifth place free! ** Please note that you must sign up all 5 runners at the same time to get the fifth place free. Not applicable to Junior events.**" Charity We agreed a few years back that we wanted to raise money for MIND - A Mental Health Charity. I think it would be amazing if we raise at least £20 each whoever wants to particiate so we can pass over a large cheque for them! Rewards A Wolf Run Medal A Wolf Run t-shirt A bespoke FG personalised running shirt/vest to be used on the day so we can all be recognised raising money for Charity in FG's honour! Roll Call! (I'll update as interest is mentioned below) Lee @GazzaGarratt So let's get to it everyone, actions speak louder than our words and so if we want to raise money for Charities that make a difference, we need to make a stand and start doing it! Let's hear your names and thoughts below!! GGFG

I'm not sure if its too late as the season has started but i'm trying to think of ways to get more into NFL abit more and I'm thinking that to help me (and maybe others that want to learn too) that we could do a Fantasy Football league with some of you veteran NFL experts? I know we need a few names because there is a draft as part of the setup which don't really understand so if there is also someone to help me set it up that would be awesome. What do you reckon folks? Could be a decent laugh too as we set up each week against each other? 😄 I'll tag a few NFL people I can remember! @Antpool84 @Baabcat @Plumbers Crack @Jason @TigerBurge @G_dub52 @jordie1892 @Lurrchh and anyone else that wants to get involved for the lolz (and learning! 🤣)
