We lost our 16yo salt and pepper miniature schnauzer 'Tricky' in April this year ?
'Schnapps', our new black and silver miniature schnauzer is 9 weeks old today, we've had him a week and he's settling in nicely!  He already responds to his name, sit command and 'wee-wee'.  Oh and he has a variety of innocent/cute looks that will no doubt come in handy in the near future!

Started the download last night... 93.7GB on PS.
Red Dead day is probably a week on Tuesday.

I don't have age as an excuse for my lack of talent aha, my best claim to ''gaming skill'' is being champ 1 in rocket league... I think my generation is generally becoming more accepting of gaming in general, whereas there is still a bit of a stigma attached to it with the older generations, but seeing places like Wembley getting filled for esports events is incredibly impressive, and the production value is usually pretty top notch too.

It was a very good watch.  I've been a gamer for 30+ years and its nice to see it slowly emerge from the bedroom to be something more mainstream - I just wish I was 30 years younger so I could try my hand at something more competitive, my reactions are to slow and I have way to many bad habits now to change!
With a 500k prize for yesterdays winners I recall the days of my Mum telling me to go outside and get some fresh air during the summer holidays, I think I'll question my kids wanting to go out and make sure they are sat in front of their PCs practising lol!

It's a surprisingly good spectator sport to be honest. And with the rate it's growing, it will start to threaten smaller sports for popularity.

It was a great weekend, I would thoroughly recommend it if it comes back to London - kids are more into competitive gaming than me and they both said it was amazing (our 15yo said it was 'literally the best thing he's done in life ever' lol).
We're planning a trip to Insomnia next Easter now as well, never been before but looks good!

Anyone that enjoyed Telltale games will be perhaps disappointed that it seems to finishing. Meaning The Walking Dead & The Wolf Among Us 2 won't be finishing/starting.
 
 

I'm gutted, I loved the wolf among us.

I regularly watch esports on Twitch and have seen the CoD World Championships at Insomnia during Easter and really like how much effort is put in to these events. OWL was a good show but the season just went on for way too long for my liking.

Went to an esports event in Leicester in April, it was very good and comparable to a football crowd in my opinion.
 

Was a great weekend, much better than I thought it would be - like a football crowd for gamer nerds ?
Anyone interested in competitive gaming should knock it off their bucket list, it was a lot of fun.
 

The most disappointing thing for me is that rather than a little self reflection on how members are using the forum and communicating with other members, some have decided to test us and see how far they can push the boundaries, look for loopholes as a new form of entertainment.
Having wrote a few lengthy posts on this, which are still on the forum within locked topics because members wanted to test us, I said that it maybe a rule we look to reverse if things settle down. 
All that has happened is some members showing us that they are not willing to use the forum under any guidelines we have in place,   which if it continues will removed, not something I want to do, nor was limiting topics of what can be discussed but we are being left with little options now. 
If you would like to open a topic but unsure if it would be allowed under the new rules drop a moderator online a Private Message, one is usually about and we will answer fairly quickly. 
All we want is a forum with a friendly atmosphere where members can be civil to one another even in disagreements. If you are ok with that work with us on this. 
@reveldevil to answer your question on Safe Standing and other football related issues, we would be fine with these being discussed on the forum.

Just like Frank - 'very excited to be there'

yeah you separate the wheat from the chaff

My God, some of these puns are corny.

If anyone has some more corn puns, I'm all ears.

today...everyone

Quoting myself but I just want to add Maradona to the list as well (and not just because of what he said re. last nights match!)

Every Colombian that surrounded the referee and Harry Kane for 3 minutes whilst he waited calmly to take a penalty. 
And their coach for mouthing off about Englands 'dirty antics'
And another of their coaches for trying to wind Raheem Sterling up as he jogged off at halftime.
Well the whole Columbian team/staff really ?

Probably after some free cocaine off his Colombian drug dealers. He's hardly the epitome of fair play, the cheating fat fecker.
