I've finally bought my Forza Horizon 6 pre-order and got it installing for Friday.
After saving up all the purchased game points and grinding for months Bing points, I made it today to a £52 Xbox Gift Card, so the Premium Edition cost me less than the standard does.
Albi and Narbonne are having an old-school penalty shootout for a place in the third division final. 28,000 watching on YouTube.
I've come across these Banana Ball games before on YouTube, but I came across the end of one one early morning last weekend, and immediately stopped on it. Not sure why...
I'm going to ask my GP to refer me to a specialist centre to ascertain what if any revision surgery they suggest.
Three weeks is enough time for me to recognise the return of the same symptoms and the Heller's myotomy failed.
I only saw this via a Two Cents Rugby video, but it seems while I was in hospital, Moana Pasifika is to be shut at the end of the season.
It's sad to me, although also in the five years, it never suggested it had a reason to exist.
Not very good on-field, based in a crowded market and games weren't taken to Samoa and Tonga, as well as never having a fan-base cultivated in Auckland for it.
I wonder if Gosford/Central Coast would happily just take the Titans - or are they still just waiting for the Bears to fall over?
Clearly Playground Games and #Xbox are sleeping, as I've been recommended - and not watched - two different videos purportedly showing the whole of the mech 'race' teased in the Tokyo Game Show showcase trailer.
I wrote before it that if for whatever reason the surgery was cancelled a second time, I'd not reschedule it.
Now I just wish I'd realised I was right and moved it forward to before it happened.
I just want to go back to April 13th so desperately.
I've only seen this today in my recommended, but this fictional Japanese train simulator looks great. Much better atmosphere than the costly bloat Train Sim World is.
It is in Japanese and English and comes out on Steam on the 25th. Although it's a small studio, hoping one day it comes to consoles to try it myself.
I've only just seen the notification of it, but also NHK World-Japan is streaming NHK coverage with simultaneous translation of today's M7.4 earthquake, offshore of Iwate Prefecture.
Current highest recorded tsunami of 0.8m.
As a regular poster for a year, it's disappointing but unsurprising the Forza Forums will be deleted in June, with suggestions and bug reports only on their new log-in required portal.
I guess I'll now be spending more time on the FH subreddit from now on.
Those RC-only Grand Races this week are a ton of fun.
I got bored with them being so bad, but I just enjoyed it from the start.
Yes, I got third place, and the field did spread out pretty quickly in it.
But I hope they'll keep doing them after this week or month - and more often.
This is one of three videos on this channel - one for each of the three trains in the Early Access version - of Running Train (Japanese with English UI), and it really does seem like a very well-made product. All by a solo developer - unlike a certain other one.
Just 7 days to go (for the fortunate, 11 for the rest).
Incredible to think when I did a thumbnail that said '16 weeks to go' when the date was announced how long it seemed, to how close we are now to it.
Hopefully it does live up to the hype. We have five years of it.
For whatever it's worth, UKIP/Brexit Party/Reform UK won its first ever council seat in Cheltenham.
Liberal Democrats won 17 of the 20 seats on 42% of the vote, Green Party the other 2.
The other day I was searching for actual Japanese TV EEW coverage, and I have come across the simulated ecosystem before.
I came to this video, and this channel wider, and I was just sat wide-eyed at the accuracy and quality of it.
This one not only has in-vision studios, but simulated live images, and also of multiple fictional channels. Oh, and a JMA briefing too.
It's so far beyond the quality I've seen from US/UK 'EAS scenario' videos. It looks like real NHK earthquake and tsunami coverage. I don't know how they've done it.
This particular simulation is based on a theoretical maximum M9.3 earthquake on the Kuril Trench. It is of course all in Japanese, but you could put the auto-dub on, or just auto-translate the Japanese subtitles.
I'm not sure if that would end up meaning they wouldn't get back in, but I think it best if North Wales Crusaders withdraw from the rest of the season if losing 80-0 to only Goole. They're clearly not ready to go on.
In case any sports body doesn't think YouTube can be a window for you by streaming matches, there are currently nearly 18,000 people watching a French third division rugby union match.
