There is no completion. There is only Queen's Blood card game. Also, Neil can get fucked. Proper challenge that one player is.

Fort Condor in Intermission was a bit like that until I read one guide and some of them had the most broken ways of winning with almost just magic.

Fuck lads, Slow Horses is a bit good innit.

Just seems to get better and better each season. Jackson Lamb is one of the best characters of all time.

Been watching Extraordinary, absolutely love it.

"In a world where everyone gets a superpower at the age of 18, 25-year-old Jen struggles being the only person she knows who is an ordinary human."

Yeah it's basically Misfits, but it is very good and has a banging soundtrack. Really like it.

It's brilliant, can't wait for S2.

Glad I seen this, didn't realise there was even a second season coming and had forgot about it!

So if anyone is looking for a good spoiler free guide, PowerPyx is your person. They do a lot of Platinum walkthroughs for games and always include visuals and step by steps. They even tell you when is the best time to do a sweep of the side quests and when to hold off.

FF7 Rebirth Walkthrough by PowerPyx

Can not recommend them enough, as they're my go-to for Platinum walkthroughs for exactly that reason.

Meanwhile, I finished the Chapter 3 in the Mythril Mines last night...

  Reveal hidden contents

Wow, did not expect so much from that. Really loved that it was a proper dungeon and adored the Mythril Golem fight. I rather epically timed a Titan summon so that its final move was the one that killed the Golem. Earth summon defeating an earth fiend. Just epic cinematic stuff.

 

Second the PowerPyx, I used them for Remake Part 1. 

Watched the Ted TV Show, went in with very low expectations but it was a decent easy watch.

Keep coming in here to read comments and I'm just torturing myself. 😂

I'm not even up to where I made it to before - I just did the first hugely extra bit where you help Jessie out - so I think that puts me in chapter 5. I have five days off coming up though, so that'll give me some time to focus up. I'm playing on proper Easy too, which really kind of fixes another one of the problems that I had before where I didn't find combat all that challenging just... time consuming.

I felt the same about the battles until I learned it more on my third play through, you can absolutely whizz through some of the more long battles with the right tactics. Remember to use focused thrust/strike all the time before staggered. That attack Tifa can use(overpower I think) is really powerful too. Also being able to counter when guarding in the other stance. 

Hard mode was a ton of fun as you had to have particular tactics too.

...god dammit I need to leave this topic now and hurry on through Remake.

How far are you in to it? I'd really recommend playing through Intermission too, it's great.

Going to struggle to fully avoid spoilers before Tuesday. Glad to see everyone is having a blast with the game.

Not home from work till Tuesday but got a few weeks off to immerse myself in it. Can’t wait, most of the reviews I’ve seen have been highly positive.

Brentford 0-2 Chelsea (Sat 3pm)
Everton 1-1 West Ham (Sat 3pm)
Fulham 2-2 Brighton (Sat 3pm)
Luton 1-3 Aston Villa (Sat 5.30pm, Sky)
Man City 3-0 Man Utd (Sun 3.30pm, Sky)

Yeah Ajax is the perfect team to get, they're a huge scalp to take with a team who are trying to salvage their league season. They wouldn't be as high up the table if it wasn't for the fact the EreDivisie is rotten outside of the top 5.

11 goals, just shy of 1 every 2 games. Obviously Morgan Whittaker is the start of our team but he's been really good for us. Concussed himself earlier in the season and had a massive black eye for a bit. He's not helped by our other strikers being Mustapha Bundu who joined injured, got fit and got injured again immediately, Ben Waine, who is a bit shit, and Freddie Issaka who is 16.

He always looked like he had the ability was just missing something, probably has an outside chance of the Euros if Dykes, Shankland or Adams get injured.

Was gutted when Rangers missed out on Whittaker, looked a fantastic player.

Europa League last 16 draw:

Sparta Praha vs Liverpool
Marseille vs Villarreal
Roma vs Brighton
Benfica vs Rangers
Freiburg vs West Ham
Sporting CP vs Atalanta
AC Milan vs Slavia Praha
Qarabağ vs Leverkusen

looks like we're set for a Patrik Berger derby.

Hope you batter them home and away, absolutely horrible club and same goes for their rivals.

Benfica isn't the easiest draw but certainly not the worst, fans getting screwed over with a 1715  kickoff though.

Aston Villa 2 vs. 0 Nottm Forest (Sat 3pm)
Crystal Palace 2  vs. 0  Burnley (Sat 3pm)
Man Utd 1  vs. 1 Fulham (Sat 3pm)
Bournemouth 1 vs. 4  Man City (Sat 5.30pm, Sky)
Arsenal 2 vs. 1  Newcastle (Sat 8pm, TNT)

Michael Beale plays Football Manager with the social media posts on.

No chance, he can’t create a burner account to defend himself on there.

Had the wildest ever end to a season as Kilwinning Rangers in the Scotland Reborn mod, three games to go and I absolutely blow the Spotify Championship title by getting beat 4-0 at home to Arbroath down to the keeper I brought in after my first choice got injured for rest of the season(I've dropped numerous points with his performances blowing a lead). 1 Point behind with two games to go, I'm against Inverness, St Johnstone against Clyde who are already relegated.

Decide just to go for it seeing as league is over anyway and go attacking/very attacking from the start, absolutely battering Inverness who go down to 10 men after 30 minutes, finally score after 70 minutes. St Johnstone are still 0-0. Still battering Inverness and for now top of the league(still have no hope of Clyde holding out). 

92 minutes gone and Inverness break up the park and I concede a penalty, only for the keeper who hasn't stopped a shot in months to save it! Game finishes 1-0 but I don't get the trophy animation, although St Johnstone blew it and I'm champions! 

Was near a heart attack at numerous stages.

Granted losing to Huddersfield isn't the best look but it feels a bit sudden, they've been doing okay under him haven't they?

I know that footage of him seemingly blanking his own player after subbing him off was doing the rounds but I can't imagine something like that would be the instigating factor here.

4 wins in 12, he's an absolute clown whose name is dirt at all three clubs he's managed now.

Supposedly the players can't stand him after they got beat a few weeks ago he ordered everyone in to train the next day, he still took the day off. 😂

I can't imagine it being anything but a GOTY contender. The first was great, and this covers arguably the best entire section of the original. It's literally the reason I'll be getting a PS5

As an adult, PS5(well any SSD based console/PC) have been the best purchases I have made. It's ridiculous the time saved overall on loading times being so quick, and the amount of distractions that crop up waiting for something to load. 😂

That's the stuff I'd do on Football Manager except I'd take them places they would hate, get that pre-season anger flowing. Like the Butlin's Cup: Skegness Town, Bognor Regis Town and Minehead AFC getting the important faxes from my secretary (also me, based on the size of clubs I was managing).

 

Neil Warnock has already been alarmingly entertaining. I rue the fact we won't get a Warnock Dons vs Ange's Bhoys.

I'd much rather see a Neil Warnock Dons vs Brendan with the sharks coming out after. 😂

Feel like this thread should be limited to only A level nations.
