Loadsa boring ones kinda killed momentum too

If it came back,mould be better to have someone running it approach people of interest, o think. Someone who is a regular on boards AND looks like they would have interesting responses...

I ran it the second time and, to be honest, it ended up getting to the stage where people you'd be lucky to get three or four questions. I'd love to see it back (I was looking forward to being asked questions!) though

Fantastic result for Leicester tonight, the rot however goes on at Chelsea.

Did y'all enjoy Fear Factory who went from here the other night? I thought it was pretty good.

I think, and I know I was guilty of this, some people had multiple questions for the first person asked over multiple posts then for later people they asked all at once. Maybe a 2/3 question per post rule?

And just looking back now, seems I was the one who killed it. Sorry

Stereomaniac

Maybe if we bar you from it this time it will work? I completely forgot about that series on here. If I remember correctly pretty much every regular poster at the time signed up to be a part of it but not everyone ended up doing it. Can't blame anyone for being boring though.

I thought it was good but a lot of people posing questions just copy and pasted their Q's. It was a good idea defo. Here's a link to a few.

Nice one Joe. It's a good way for people to get to know each other and have that community vibe in the forum. Put me down if you're doing it, would like to take part.

I'll throw my hat in the ring as well..

Can't see Van Gaal being in charge against Stoke after today.

Beaten by Norwich at Old Trafford for the first time in 26 years, 18 months in the job, £250 million spent on players, playing drab football.. Van Gaal definitely has to go, would any United supporter trust him with another £150 million with the January window on the horizon?

Was thinking of picking up Star Wars Battlefront for myself, until I realised there's no single player in it at all. Feels kinda bogus. Might see if I can pick up Fallout somewhere cheap enough instead.

Yeah, I'm waiting till battlefront drops a bit in price before I get it. Fallout 4 is keeping me plenty entertained though. I'm 50 hours in now and loving it. Brother got 100 out of it before he left it, and even then it was cause he rinsed the game. Its fun.

Angron

Find many bugs in it yet? :pac:

A Brad Maddox Guy

I played the beta for Battlefront & enjoyed it. It's definitely a game made for Star Wars fans rather than FPS fans though. Disappointing lack of content in it, the lack of single player & space battles meant it was no longer a Day 1 purchase for me. Think it's on sale on the PS store until St Stephen's Day so if I haven't gotten it for Christmas I'll be buying it there.

Fallout's good though. I'm not sure how many hours I've put in but it's a lot. Starting to feel a bit repetitive now, the side quests aren't as good as Fallout 3 imo & the settlements are a waste of time. Really enjoying the combat & just exploring the world (it took me 3 days to walk from Sanctuary to the

Glowing Sea

& I spent another 2 days wandering about that because I didn't want to fast travel) though. Great atmosphere in it & I haven't encountered any serious bugs.

The Witcher 3 is my favourite game of 2015 by a mile, it's gone straight into my 3 favourite games of all time so if you haven't played it I'd definitely recommend trying it out.

Not many. A few quests that can't be handed in, but nothing major.

My brother had a fun one...there's one companion who, if you get his fondness of you to max, gives you a special perk that increases headshot accuracy by 20%....but it glitched, so now every headshot he fires has a 95% chance of hitting. Any distance, any gun....it's like God mode for him :P Apparently it's pretty common.

Yeah, the lack of space battles was something that pissed me off, and the likelihood that it'll be added down the line as paid DLC put me off the game quite a bit.

Thanks guys! Gonna be strange this Xmas. We already have a 17 month old boy, but my wife will be here for Xmas day (not getting out until Stephen's day), so we've had Xmas early!

Santy came yesterday (not that the young man knows really who Santa is yet, but it did my wife's heart good to see him have his prezzies
