Nice bench, wonder how long before an inbred dingle defaces it. 

Probably already planning it unfortunately.

Well I've just got the free version at the moment, and the only option is Warzone. 

There is some falling from the sky stuff that I have not seen before. The first time I did that I was killed the instant I touched the ground. The maps are huge, the squads small and if you get killed it seems like you are out for the round. As a Deathmatch guy on WWII it's just a bit confusing. I think I just need practice.

You are pulling your parachute aren't you?

Just trying to make the switch from CoD WWII, which I have played extensively, to MW3, as I have a friend who has it. So far it's been pretty impenetrable, but I will persist. 

What are your struggling with? 

Just installing Dragon's Dogma 2.  Looks exactly up my street, not a typical RPG and wear appears to be a huge open world. I saw a couple of you guys already playing it so might be back later for hints and tips!

Just bought this today, and it’s the first souls-like game I’ve ever played. Does a bit of googling and going to start with Vagabond I think as it seems to be good for a beginner and has relatively balanced stats etc. 

 

One thing to remember is if you get stuck on a boss, go off into the world, level up a few levels, then return and kick the s#it out of them!

Just put a deposit down on a Q4, too. I’m not massively into cars or bothered about brands, but wanted to go electric and get something with plenty of room for the kids.

It was either this or a Škoda Enyaq but there weren’t any of those locally in the spec we wanted to look at.

Dealer tried to sell me GardX exterior and interior treatments for £350. Has anyone ever had this? Is it worth it if so? I don’t usually fall for added extras but this did actually sound pretty good. Reviews online seemed mixed, though, so leaning towards it being bullshit.

 

Tried not to laugh when the place I brought my car from recently offered me GardX.  Its a 2017 car mate, so unless you're going to respray it first, What's the f'ing point

I'm not sure if you have seen Tyson train, but he looks more than capable of putting Jake to sleep in a round. Still fast, still very strong, very scary. He'll proper hurt him off he takes it seriously

 

 

This is the problem.  All of Paul's fights look like the opponent isn't really taking it seriously otherwise he's have had more than 1 loss.

This is the greatest game in the world, ever.

Stop what you're doing and go and buy it.

I've got no online friends so it's not for me lol

How about indicators? 

AMIRITE?!

I've had a coupe of 3 series coupes in the past, and loved them. The big old coupe doors can be difficult in a tight space (kw) though! Or you come back out of the supermarket and a Kia Picanto has parked 4 inches from your door. Like Stretch Armstrong trying to get back in!

Indicators? What the hell are they???

Yeah the doors are beasts but so far I'm coping.  The comfort access is still a novelty which I'm sure will end up being forgotten about, but it's just so well made, so easy to drive, and fun too.  It's also the most comfortable car I've ever owned. 

Just got to get the missus to drive it now - she doesn't like autos!

My "new" car is a 17 plate 420d BMW. Had it for 1 week so far. Traded my old 118d in for it plus a nice wedge of cash. I do about 8k miles a year so this could last me a long time.  The increase in hp is certainly noticeable, and the person who originally specced it included some nice options, like a digital dashboard, and went for the m sport version too.  The brakes grip like a mutha! Has some novelty options too like an arm which passes you the seat belt (because it's a coupe and you'd have to reach back quite a bit otherwise).  I miss having Android Auto which is installed in my old car, but it does have voice control for some features, and I've now figured out how to get it to work with Google Assistant which eases the loss of AA a little.  Headlights are brilliant too which couldn't be said of the 118! And I'll never go back to a manual either.

And finally it's a good looking car

Getting to that age in life where people I know who are a similar age to me have started to pass away. Today we're raising a roast to a mate who passed away recently - only 48.  God bless you mate

I’m still playing DMZ. Not made the jump to MwIII yet

Everything is back up and running and all progress has been restored.  I actually like the zombies more in this one than I have recent games.  However, they do need to add new stuff in soon!

Looks like major issues with the COD servers currently.  Players (including me) reporting being unable to launch into games and all stats and progress reset to level 1.  Hope the levelling issue can be fixed by restoring old data on the servers because otherwise players will go mental at the studio again.

I gave up again. 

I don't have the patience for it at the moment. With a load of other games out there that I want to play I just couldn't be bothered to grind stuff over and over again. It's not engaging enough to keep me coming back.

I think I could really get into it, but maybe some time in the future. I might just jump to Elden Ring and be done with it

Elden Ring is certainly easier and because it's more open you're not going to be stuck at a boss with nothing else to do until you beat it.  If you struggle, go elsewhere and level up a bit more then go back and kick ass!

Out of interest, why a BMW? 

Because the one I have has given me little trouble in the years I've had it and it's extremely comfortable.

Looking at a used BMW 420i.  Currently drive a 118d. Do any of you have a 420i? What are your thoughts?

Time to sail the high seas my lad. Yarr. 

Indeed.  Now TV did the same thing years ago where if you didn't buy their booster pass you get standard definition and stereo sound.  Just pisses me off that everything that can be charged for will be.  If the family didn't use Prime for delivery it would be gone.

Just saw that not only do you get ads with Amazon prime now, but they've also ditched Dolby Vision and Atmos from the tier as well.  Unless you wanna pay the extra 2.99 a month your stuck with 5.1 at best by the looks of it.

Cannot believe the stick this guy gets on here and other social media. Baffling

It's more out of frustration than anything though I believe.  There's many examples of Ollie being in a one on one and hitting the keeper.  Yes fair play to the keeper for being in the right place but it is going to cost us.

Picked the console edition for PS5 the other day, haven't played FM properly in about 10 years - won't be the same on console, but life getting in the way means I just dont have the time to play on laptop anymore 

Be interested to hear your thoughts once you've given it a proper go.  I've not played it in years either but this thread has peaked my interest.

Free trial of MW3 this weekend too

I would like someone who has played BG3 to tell me whether you need to be into a fantasy setting to like it. It's not a theme I generally vibe with, but if the game is good enough I will happily make an exception. I could do with knowing as it's still quite expensive, so I don't want to buy without knowing whether I'll like it. 

If you're on playstation, m sure the top tier of ps+ has / had a trial of BG3.

The guy who sings second doesn't sound like you think he's gonna!

Underwhelming window on the whole, and given the form on the pitch it all feels a bit demoralising.

 

I'm sure these youth players might come good one day but they won't do anything for us this season. 

That's why we love VT - downplaying signings who have yet to kick a ball for us!
