I definitely don't remember it being reported as a suicide at the time.

It's like the Queen saying that the Royal Box at Wimbledon is inclusive.

What arrogance. This idea that certain clubs are inherently superior to others, regardless of recent results, is exactly what I've come to expect from top-level football. They might as well just announce they're granting automatic qualification to every club called Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich.

I'd have been amazed if a delay didn't happen. It seems to have happened to every Zelda game ever.

I used to turn on knockouts in the PS1 Smackdown games because multi-person matches would take way too long otherwise.

I can only speak for UK membership cards, really. CDKeys sells 12-month Canadian subscriptions for the equivalent of $58 Canadian, but they're out of stock. It does seem like the PS2 games from PSNow are going to be in the highest tier only. Something else I noticed is that there will only be two monthly Plus games when the new system starts, rather than three.

It's the flat price. $17.99 would get you all the tiers.

I see that Playstation Now subscribers automatically get moved to the Premium tier. I might see if I can find some discounted membership vouchers. I'll be interested to see which PS1, PS2 and PSP games are included. You'd have thought that those currently available to download on PS3, PSP and Vita ought to be in there, at the very least. PS3 content being restricted to streaming is disappointed, though predictable. Presumably, Sony doesn't have faith in its ability to adequately emulate PS3 games. That said, given that the Steam Deck can apparently run PS3 emulators well, I can't believe that the PS5 wouldn't be equipped to do so as well.

It would have been more interesting if they included performances before the Champions League. Seeing the likes of Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Reims, Hamburger, Steaua Bucharest and Red Star Belgrade qualify ahead of Manchester City and PSG would have been enjoyable.

My engagement with last year's MLB: The Show plummeted after I encountered a bug in RTTS. After four seasons, my team finally reached the Playoffs, but then I was told I didn't make the Playoff roster, even though I'd broken all the hitting records that year. I looked it up online and found that loads of other people had the same problem.

I think I reached that point years ago.

North Macedonia beating Portugal as well would be amazing.

That came out of nowhere. It reminds me of when Justine Henin retired for the first time.

Today is the 40th anniversary of the release of The Number of the Beast. What an album.

They're using Unreal Engine 5, rather than the Cyberpunk 2077 engine, which is probably a good move. It's hard to say from the announcement how far along it is. Cyberpunk was announced eight years before it came out, and four years before it even went into pre-production, and even then it wasn't working properly at release.

Is there any way to tweak the sliders or settings to make those kinds of matches quicker? I can't imagine being able to stomach that every time.

Nottingham Forest will be leaving 97 seats empty today to commemorate those who died at Hillsborough in 1989.

It does look rather dark. Quelling a goblin uprising by setting them on fire doesn't seem all that child-friendly.

Without doubt, the pool of real world drivers across different racing series will be much more limited. I'm hoping that's mitigated a little by the inclusion of newly generated young drivers as the real ones retire. In other news, F1 2021 will be coming to EA Play and Game Pass next week.

This trailer was released yesterday.

2K games tend to go on sale a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if you could get Tiny Tina at a decent discount before long.

Mostly because the recent showcase focused on Japanese-published games. In any case, I wouldn't make strong assumptions on its quality based on the fact that it's getting its own showcase. It's a game that will do well commercially and Sony getting the chance to show it off first probably has a lot to do with it.

I see there's a showcase for that new Harry Potter game on Thursday. I can't say I'm interested, but a lot of other people will be.

Nintendo has been good with free demos recently. I wish more companies would provide them. Some of the most fun I had on the PS1 was with demo discs.

Red card for England in the second minute. This will be a one-sided match.
