They've surely got enough Mario noises recorded in past games that they can just reuse forever.

Geoff Keighley's Gamescom Opening Night Live show is tomorrow. He has said that most of the reveals will be for already announced games, so keep expectations at the appropriate level.

It always seemed as though his primary motivation was to get Rob and Ryan on his Youtube channel.

People will probably look back at this period as a golden age for English football. For all the noise England fans tend to make, the World Cup victory in 1966 was something of an anomaly. Three major finals in three calendar years is unprecedented.

I'm guessing they're expecting to sell Johnson and will use one of them in a more attacking role. Williams can play on the wing, although I wouldn't think he would scare most Premier League defences. From what I can tell this summer, they've been after a lot of players, but are offering low amounts of money for them. As it stands currently, the squad ought to be just about good enough to stay up, but a few more injuries could really mess things up. Central defence is still a glaring weak spot, especially with Felipe on the sidelines.

I've found conflicting reports about Montiel. Some say he has been charged with sexual assault and others say the charges were pressed against someone he's close with.

The Old Firm can't handle Kilmarnock.

They've sorted it out now.

I tried to play Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Game Pass and I can't connect to a match. It looks like a game that would be more fun in private matches than with strangers on voice chat.

I still think of Walcott as a promising youngster waiting to fulfil his potential.

Another famous person who seemed to have been around forever, and seemed as though he always would be.

Starfield will be available to pre-load tomorrow. It will be 125GB.

I think you can use the same account on both at the same time, but not the same game. I don't think you would be able to play Starfield on separate systems at the same time, but it should be possible to have a separate save on both.

I like the idea of "wrestling skill" being a stat instead of all brawling, speed and all the others in EWR. I found that having to match wrestlers with similar strengths didn't seem true to real life.

I've read that Liverpool have been looking at Sangare from PSV. He was a Forest target for most of the summer, but has been holding out for a bigger club.

Liverpool's scouts ought to be on Chelsea's payroll.

Whatever it is, it isn't co-Kane. Har-dee-har.

I'm sad that he couldn't have been on the pitch when Chris Wood came on. It was the pun I was most looking forward to.

But they're more super than normal cups.

With the semi-final against Australia, England will have played against teams from six different continents. Yes, Australia play in the Asian confederation, but it's geographically an accurate statement.

The claim that Omega was heavily involved with the development process never impressed me. There's only so much that someone with no games development experience can actually offer in terms of gameplay mechanics.

There's probably some truth in this. For City fans now, any competition they don't win is considered almost a disaster.

You can unlock upgrades later on that slow down time and make less rubbish appear. The trick tends to be to fit in short sessions between laundry obligations, which is something that's easier to do as the game progresses. There's also the option to ignore laundry altogether if you really want. You won't make as much money, but there's also no way to go bankrupt, so it's not a problem.

I'm not sure if it's your sort of thing, but I've been enjoying Arcade Paradise lately. It's a game about running a launderette with some arcade machines in the back, with the main task being to expand the arcade and making money doing so. It's very light on management mechanics (you don't have to worry about wages, maintenance or anything like that) and there's a nice sense of satisfaction that comes from building up your business.
