Yes. I've updated the title to include it for anyone else who isn't sure.

It's a bit mad. A bit B-Movie, doesn't itself too seriously. Every time there's a more serious scene it just goes daft after. Thoroughly enjoying it.

Jordan does my head in. Always has, but I like Coulthard.

A lot of what C4 can show and how their program is setup is all decided via terms that Sky set on them.

I didn't realise until last week that is actually Sky that set the terms on what C4 can show. They've restricted them heavily this year. The show has to be a minimum 3 hours after the live race finishes. Only 50% of C4 show is allowed to be cars on track. They're banned from gridwalks, after race interviews of drivers have to use Sky's footage. I'm sure pitlane interviews have to be pre-approved by Sky too.

I mean when I'm jumpmaster and they breakaway solo and fly off to a totally different zone. I have no idea why they would do that, it just fucks your entire squad. Stick with your jumpmaster! Or when the random jumpmaster just goes straight down out of the drop ship. Well done fucker. You just dropped us into a fucking boxing match.

I love the game. It's like crack to me, but I'm wanting to play less and less with randoms. If they put solo or duos in, all be all over it. I've lost count how many times I've been totally fucked by randoms pissing off in their own direction while I'm dropping us in and I just get overrun by a squad when I'm alone. Or randoms that don't use the ping system at all, either I get killed because they didn't warn of enemies they were chasing or all of a sudden when they're dead they spam pings like crazy. I had another the other day that helped me clear a squad. The 3rd player on the squad downed me. Team mate killed him. Team mate then sat near me and waited for me to bleed out. Took all of my good stuff and fucked off.

Here's hoping. I'm hoping that the issues were down to the fact that they likely had a few weeks to sort it all out tops and it was hastily chucked together last minute. Either that or they were not expecting many viewers so wanted to maximise their return on it.

You could say the same for any system really. Microsoft have what, 10-15 studios that they now own, all developing stuff to be out in the next couple of years. They cross publish onto other platforms too. Microsoft don't really care what you are playing, if it is one of their games or not. As long as you are using their services (Xbox Live, Game Pass, Azure etc). Those services are spreading further and further, you're seeing more games include those services going on different platforms. Give it 24 months and you'll be able to play Xbox Live & Game Pass games on your phone, Tablet, PC, Xbox, possibly Switch. I totally disagree that Microsoft are fucked or 100% reliant on 3rd party players.

My friend said his Uncle hadn't told anyone else! How did you get that info?

In what world is MS even fucked in the slightest bit? They're making about $2 Billion every 3 months in just the gaming division. The whole software division is about $10 billion every 3 months. It's all on a rise of about 8-10% a quarter. The market is massive enough for more than just one company.

Try tyoing instead of copy/pasting? There's a few others have used it.

I'm hoping it was just teething issues with NBCSN on their side with the ropey issues (tech issues, cutting to the commontators often), but Sky was fucking abysmal. Again, hoping it was just because the announcement of Sky getting the season a week before the race, but fuck me. No intro. Just cut straight to US feed. 4 laps into the race. Break. No PiP. 5 or so more laps. Another break. No PiP. Few more laps, commentators go silent. Then the scren cuts black. It's a USA break, Sky didn't have one. 15 laps of technical difficulties (Not Skys fault) Flyover of the city advertising another show. 4 laps of commentator coverage. Only approx 50-60 laps of a 110 lap race were shown. It was awful. If Sky are going to show so many adverts, they need to sync to the American ones. They also need to put in PiP so we are not missing at least 30% of the race.
