    I remember you. :smile:

    Adam Ducker, right? Welcome back. :peace:

    I'm good thanks, how's life?

    I see you're still staff, let me know if you want to write anything for the site again, though if you're here for the forum memories, no worries. :)

    N-Europe is still here, for anyone who remembers / knows this place exists. :D

    You know what due to life circumstances I do have random pockets of time maybe I do have something to contribute writing wise.

    Thanks for the welcomes guys! Also reassuring to know I'm not too off it with the internet being hell, in terms of my minimal usage here's where I'm at:

    • Twitter: Just don't use, deleted my posts and then started fresh but even now I just don't open it really.
    • Instagram: I only post to keep family and friends vaguely up to date with whats going on with me
    • Reddit: 100% a lurker unless I need to post somewhere for help.
    • Threads: I made an account and barely post.
    • Facebook: I don't post at all haven't since like 2015 or something.

    Finally definitely had flashbacks about the bondage pics that was something which I'd push to the darkest recesses of my mind.

    Yeah loved it. Despite all the previous spoilers / speculation, the excitement seeing all those characters appear was real. And I haven't even seen the Raimi Spider-man films, but I'll catch up on those before seeing it for a 2nd time. I also absolutely loved some of the dry humour and really awkward dialogue. And the interactions with all those characters was great. Some great moments for everyone of them, even Ned haha.

    Cool to see some redemption for certain characters, like Doc Ock and Andrew Spider-man, a.k.a. Spider-man 3. It was also great seeing this in a (relatively) full cinema. The crowds reactions when Andrew and Tobey appeared were great. Although it was disappointing there was no such reaction for Matt Murdoch, come on! I was fucking excited to finally see some justice, and the Netflix shows being recognized. A cameo like this is all I ever wanted, took 'm long enough! Bummed out about Aunt May though.. You know why. :laughing: 

    Ending was bittersweet. They handled the symbiote teaser well. I thought Doctor Strange looked great actually. Looking forward to that one.

    Anyway, great way to end this MCU year on a high note after the dismal Eternals.

    If Matrix ends up being great as well, after Dune and this, I can at least end this disappointing film year with a bang.

    You know what's interesting....everything got an insane reaction in the packed cinema I was in even the thing you saw none to!

    I'm asking for your preference here.. If I'm putting them on Twitter, they stay there. If you want them for your own, I'll give you the original videos, but you'll have to give me a way to send 'm to you.
    The video isn't working by the way.
    Hey ok sorry. I'll PM you my email address....

    Also yes I had to take down video I uploaded unedited version in error.

    Just some stuff using the Switch video capture. Of me speedrunning your level. If you don't mind me posting spoilers I can just upload them to Twitter like I usually do (and post 'm here), if you want to watch them privately I'll need to get 'm off the card. Let me know what you prefer, and I'll get on it tomorrow.
    Also, it works pretty well as a standalone puzzle level. Just personally I'd have put more effort into the visual design of it all. That said, the spike traps do look menacing and uninviting, so maybe they actually help in giving people the wrong idea, I dunno. I wouldn't worry about it,

    Sure post them to twitter I'll capture them and then tell you when I have and then you can delete the tweet I guess?

    EDIT:

    Archive going up of levels I streamed some one screen puzzle levels I definitely recommend would love to be able make some like that of my own;

    Here's my first level Q5V-WYP-BJG nothing special very short has a bit of conceit to it and it a thing to figure out but I think there are multiple ways to beat it as well....

    Let me know what you think....I haven't played anyone's levels above but plan on doing so and I'm going to stream some as well via mixer at mixer.com/flameboy did some from twitter the other day will be uploading archive to YouTube later today.

    I have to say to say I think FM Mobile at its cheaper price point would be better option for Switch. I bought and played FM2018 on switch and sort of enjoyed it but I feel like touch is such an awkward middle ground between Mobile and full blown that kinda doesn't work on the smaller screen and also not something I'd ever play on TV...basically it won't replace my epic Portsmouth saves on the full fat version on PC is what I'm saying.

    Didn’t know this. Why the fuck is Celeste more expensive on the switch then on other platforms? Was going to buy it tonight. Tempted not to to now. ThesE companies disgust me. 

    Ouch yeah your not kidding $24.61 here. Not excuse when it's digital only, seems perfect for handheld though!

    Not to be a pessimist but... if you struggled to get people to send in their contributions in 2008, at the peak of this forum's popularity, you ain't gonna have much luck now :blush:

    No no I meant more like submitting the previous version on to Spotify!


    EDIT:

    Sorry missed other peoples replies!

    Hey so here's a crazy idea...It's getting close to Christmas so went to give Band Aid a listen on Spotify and noticed aside from the original and official follow ups that have followed there are a couple of cover versions. After a bit of looking around there are services which allow will help with publishing on services such as Spotify for a small fee (they will sort out obtaining the streaming license etc...) I was considering doing it, then we could say we have published single! What do people think?

    Apologies for the bump but I was wondering if there's going to be another MadDog Marathon this year? I know it took a lot of organising for the event at Arcade Club but I was wondering if there would be any streams or fundraising this year, I'd be happy to take part. 

    Hey, I'd kind of echo peoples thoughts. The Arcade Club was a huge event to coordinate (even for me from afar trying to teach @AshleyOBS, he learnt lol) and would certainly be hard to top. . .

    Personally for me it's always been hard since I moved to Canada, I've often found sponsors here hard to come by, even more so with the shift to the Teenage Cancer Trust as people are a bit mythed at their money getting out of the country and not supporting local causes. Mad Dog Marathon really was fantastic. Since I moved here I've taken off work time both sides for setup and recovering, now I can't really do that as easily because of work. 

    That's not to say our fundraising efforts should stop and I'd certainly be all for others taking on that mantle of streaming and tying together a weekend of events streaming around the world, I'd even be up for doing some kind of slots in amongst it all. Like @Goafer said ours started just the 3 of us meeting up once to have a laugh at my place. Who'd have thought 7 (8?) years later we'd still be talking about doing them. 

    I'm not sure if there is anyone else out there interested in doing some kind of event?

    Tactical defending is the worst thing to ever happen to Fifa. Probably the worst thing to be implanted into any game I’ve ever played. And it’s an absolute abomination it makes you use it online. EA are the biggest cunts in the industry for many many reasons. This being the biggest. 

    Have to agree....there has been one year where they got it working ok. On PS4 and Xbox this year it is horrendous...makes ultimate team a nightmare as they've noticably made star players over powered.

    Lack of playing with friends totally kills this, if I could have played Ultimate Team Friendly seasons (like every other version) with you guys like I would have thought more about getting this.

    For this episode, we roll back the years to….last year 2016. Joypads for Goalposts was inspired by Adam and Chris’ football challenges down the years during Extra Life marathons and later on MadDog Marathons. Also please don’t donate using the links on screen the campaign ended if you do wish to donate consider the Teenager Cancer Trust directly.

    I started a new project with @Nintenchris whereby we are ranking every single football videogame ever. Here is some fluff from our website joypadsforgoalposts.com along with our first (rather long) episode. Would love it if we got some interest from here. Also totally aware the episode below has a distinct lack of footage from second game. This is being corrected!

    Football is an incredible game, nothing beats the first time you set out on the terraces, concrete steps up to the top of the stands that seem insurmountable at first but make you feel like a king when you scale them and look down upon the fabled green grass.

    It’s not just the magic of match day it’s everything around the game, getting your first full kit, trading stickers to try to complete that world cup album, playing fantasy football, putting a bet on at the bookies, the list goes on.

    For most of us getting to step on to the pitch and becoming that hero is something we can only dream of achieving , an adrenaline wealth laden life played out weekly in front of thousands of adoring fans, instead we are limited to plonking down those jumpers for goalposts and reliving those famous moments with our mates down the park. However there is one place where the playing field is leveled where anyone can score that overhead kick, that last minute equalizer, make that last ditch tackle and save a penalty to win the World Cup, the digital playground of videogames….. welcome to Joypads for Goalposts.

    Each episode my mate Chris and I will be ranking football games to find greatest football game of all time, rating them using a secret formula of mathematical equations and good old arguing over the course of 10 game season before declaring a champion each season. 

    We also be tracking who beats who with the winner being awarded a trophy at the end of a given season. Over time these 10 show seasons will create an ever growing list as we rank every single football ever made, yes that means ever….which means we are totally aware this show will never end unless A. Videogames suddenly cease to exist or B.  The world ends, take ya pick one of those is the only way the show will ever end!
