  1. Won a round in sudden death with only a minute total time on Hollywood. We managed to hold the objective in overtime then proceeded to escort the payload all the way to the finish. It was an epic round with defenders desperately trying to shove us off.

    Managed to rack up a 20 kill streak with Mercy - currently the best in the world on ps4 in season 2!

  2. The guy is an idiot. I mean you would have to be an idiot to sink money into a basket case like our club.

    Football is popular with the communist party at the moment so this is why we are seeing all the interest (there's not much appetite from the general population - the tv deal for the PL is one of the poorest money earners in the region). Should football China fail to progress in the next few years, then interest from the party will decline and poor Tony will be left holding a club with a negative balance sheet rocking up massive losses every year.

    It will end in tears. I'm looking forward to what happens afterwards. We may be in such a dire position that fan ownership may be the only alternative.

    I was thinking that. I wonder how her times compare to the able bodied members of the British cycling team

    3 time national champion at 3km track pursuit. 

    She is also a former medalist in swimming.

    The athletes are categorised by disability so she does not have an unfair advantage over her competitors. 

  4. Has Sony's hand been forced by VR? With the new headset launching in October, the original ps4 might be too underpowered to handle it properly.

    The PS4 slim is bizarre. There seems to be no usp to it and, with ps4 fat consoles flooding the preowned marketplace after the launch of the Pro, it may struggle.

  5. Season 2 has started and there is a free trial this weekend for anyone interested. I would heartily recommend the game.

    With over 20 characters there are tons of ways to play and I think most people will find their niche. Those not accustomed to fps can play as healers or mobile tanks with Tesla cannons. There's not much you can't do!

  6. Really enjoyed my time with this and it's largely delivered on what I was hoping for.

    The endgame is really where it falls apart but this is a common problem for open-world ganmes. I think this will be addressed in time and with mods.

    I'm almost certain a lot of the bad user reviews for the Witcher are from people who didn't know what they were getting into. Expecting something like Shadow of Mordor on a huge scale.

    It has horrible controls and a press square to win combat. Instead of addressing these, they made compromises such as you only have to be in the vicinity of items to loot them. I've tried a few times to get into the game as it clearly has a lot of depth and gwent is ace but I can't get past the nauseating controls.

    I read an article once that argued Jesse Owens could have been as good as Bolt if he had ran in this era. He started out of holes dug into the ground, ran on uneven surfaces, with primitive spikes on a soft, absorbant surface and clocked a 10.3. That's ignoring all the advances in - or even the invention of - sport science since the 30's.

    Bob Hayes is my shout for the fastest man ever (with all things being equal). You can only get grainy youtube vids of it but his run in the anchor leg in 1964 is hand timed at 8.5 seconds...on a cinder track!

  9. Without doubt, the most talented forward I've seen at the Villa on his day. Had absolutely everything pace, skill, strength and finishing. His career did not quite live up to the talent he possessed but he left us with some great memories.

    I love his run at the start of this clip. Bear in mind, it's 120 minutes played when he does it.

    This British success must be some kind of effect from you having the London Olympics? More money for athletes before that have spilled over to this one.

    A lot of National Lottery funding goes to into funding these athletes and they are very medal focused when handing out money. Dressage gets £18m over four years (not including another £3.5m for paralympic dressage) which gives you an idea of the scale of money spent.

  11. Far too early to give up yet! - especially as she has the potential to get up to 7000. She also will clean up in the indoors for years to come (no Javelin!) 

    Tony Minichello could be out of work soon and would be an ideal coach to take her to the next level.

  12. KJT has a lot of class but seems very fragile. Her points ceiling for the Heptathlon is greater than Jess'. She could easily take another half a second off her hurdles and 200m times, improve her shot put & Javelin by a few meters and then she will be getting into Kluft territory.

     

  13. Couple of points from above 

    Spoiler

    I found a happy medium for dogfighting and inventory space by only upgrading the phase beam and dismantling the photon cannon upgrades. The photo cannon targeting is bugged for me. If you stack 3 or 4 upgrades together so the synergise then it's plenty enough firepower. Always have some full stacks of oxides - iron, titanium etc so you can replenish your shields mid fight. 

    Your're not missing much with the V1 Atlas pass except some handy inventory space upgrades. You don't get them from blueprints as far as I can tell.

    Just been offered a ship for 45 million units. Yeah, no thanks.

    Will be very interested to pick this up in a year or so's time on PC - There is so much potential for modding.

  14. A few Screenshots of my adventures:

    Some people have described me as a giant golden c*ck. Having found such a thing I'm happy to report I look nothing like one:5q6eTLi

    Hang on a minute lads, I've got a great idea:

    I've named a planet in honour of Chindie as I don't think he's going to play this:

  15. I've had quite a few (20 odd) but they tend to come in bunches. Restarting the PS4 seems to calm this down.

    Found an even better way of getting 100% on planets which may be broken:

    Spoiler

    Uploading the ones with no fauna (ie no animals to discover) counts towards the explorer achievement. When you land and there are no animals just hover over the 100% complete, 0 credits reward box and hold down x.

    The first of those planets was great though, lots of variety in flora and fauna, mountains, oceans including underwater structures, huge pillars of gold - so I tried 100%ing it. Anyone managed it? I think I was missing a flying creature that I just couldn't shooting down, some water creature, and something else...gave up in the end having wandered about 10 mins from my ship :lol: would've got me about 350k for uploading it all though! 

    Just managed to 100% one. I've shared a few tips below

    Spoiler

    1. Master the boost jump. Sprint then melee and immediately rocket jump (r1, x). Takes a few minutes to get used to but you'll be zooming around in no time. Careful not to accidentally boost off a cliff! I generally like to wander around on eathlike planets as there is no survival aspect and you can always find a beacon to recall your ship (provided you have the bypass chip blueprint)

    2. There's usually one flying creature, two types of fish, one or two cave half-life-esque headcrabs, and several types of animals. Most of them only show up in the day. The hardest to find are the predators - generally they show up stalking their grazing prey. Oh and shoot the flying f*ckers out of the air, they are very difficult to scan unless motionless on the ground.

    3. All your upgrades give you bonuses for placing them next to each other. I have a scanner with a 3x signal boost and 2x boost all next to each other which makes things a lot easier. If I scan while zoomed in (L1 then R3) it will show animals that are in scanner range but out of eyeshot.

    Still loving the game. Am really impressed with the subtle narrative as I explore.

    I'm having trouble crafting antimatter. I've done everything I need to, but when I select to craft it doesn't show as something I can craft. Any suggestions?

    Do you have a blueprint to craft antimatter yet? If you do it should show as craftable in the crafting options when you hit square on your inventory. 

    If I remember, I started with a recipe to craft warp fuel, then found a recipe to create antimatter then found a recipe to make the rare element that makes antimatter (meaning I can now craft warp fuel really easily)

     

  18. I love the art style so it looks really well to me. I imagine PC players used to ultra settings will think it's not much.

    I spent 3 hours on my first planet :). You get hooked on a trail - one question mark leads to a transmission beam which leads to an abandoned outpost and so on.

    The lack of a bounty system is a glaring omission. I can make up for it though by flying from a space station with a few valuables and waiting for the pirates. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of rewards for space combat (20 or so minerals) so my dreams of being a full time pirate will have to wait. They also need to have a 'recharge all' button.
