  Wreckfest is an absolute banger - the only game (in my subjective opinion) that comes close to Destruction Derby 2 in terms of pure satisfaction when cleaning someone out.

  Looking forward to W2.

  The internet has ruined me. The headline made me think there was a swastika-ticking brigade and a swastika-cleaning squad; or a “pool’s closed” style griefing concerted effort; or a giant series of tickdicks.

  This seems quite… nice in comparison. Good on you, internet.

  Yeah, it’s probably more British slang more than anything. To “bang in” or “knock in” or “pan in” or “put in” a quantity of anything is generally used to describe a tedious or repetitive task.

  One could “knock in a good few hours of revision” or “bang in half hour on the treadmill” or “put in a shitload of effort” or other such terms.

  In this case, my lad plays Pokémon Go, but I’ll cover distance goals to accelerate progress a bit.

  It’s doable. It’s just a different game. You get to know usernames who take or join gyms, you can to recognise people on the rare occasion you party up for a raid.

  A friend of mine GPS spoofs the game and it’s a completely different game though. I’m having to use external tools to remote raid for cool mons as an organised party, but they just tip up to any major city centre raid location and do whatever they need to do whenever they want. That said, gyms turn over within minutes, so getting free coins is a pain in the ass whereas a lot of rural folk repsect the 8hr rule to maximise coins.

  If I’m honest, I’m just a guy who let his youngster sign up for an account, so that my boy could play the game while I banged in the buddy miles daily when out running, but I’ve quite enjoyed it too being out in the sticks.

  I have (and still do) use EG for most of my news, but that has taken a slide in quality over the years. In general, they’re not receptive to developmental feedback either - though I’m not prepared to leave the blame at the editorial or mod staff door on that one when you’ve got a company like ReedPop coming in with a clear agenda to make more money, and leaving so soon.

  My main concern is for DigitalFoundry - genuinely one of the best, most entertaining, and in-depth spin off channels out there.
