  1. I've replayed and completed GTA V which is just as good as it was 6 years ago. Trying to get involved with Online but it's tough with no mic for communication and the usual online dickwads ruining things. Other than that I've started Forza 7 at last, as well as House Flipper.
  2. Sir Stirling Moss has died, easily the best driver never to win a World Championship and an all-around legend on and off the track.
  3. Just to go on a rant for a bit, but am I the only one who has real issues with the volume levels of pretty much any recent film? I'm watching Capt America Winter Soldier at the moment and I have to have the remote constantly in one hand to turn the TV down whenever there's the slightest bit of an action scene to avoid being deafened, and then back up again whenever anyone is speaking or I can't hear what they're saying. That's just one example though, it's been every film I've watched recently on any platform. Are subtitles really the only way to get out of this never-ending back-and-forth?
  4. Bernie Ecclestone is due to become a father again at the age of 89. His eldest child is 65.
  5. After seeing it on Outside XBox I downloaded House Flipper. Despite being someone who despises all forms of manual labour I am utterly addicted to this game, probably because I don't actually have to do any physical labour and can re-paint a house in five minutes.
  6. I'm kinda disappointed by how they treated Debbie, it feels like they were more interested in the big shock of her stealing from the evidence room which pulled the rug out from everything she'd been involved with before. She was so much fun in the first episode, and I'm left feeling her entire arc was pretty much a missed opportunity for a new supporing character.
  7. Monaco completely cancelled as there's no chance of them being able to re-organise it for another date. So some good news, at last.
  8. Ramon Foster has retired. Not only a great guard but a great person, played almost every game since 2012, and chose to retire rather than play for another team whilst also allowing the Steelers to save 4 mill in cap space.
  9. Sorry, I meant the main money-makers specifically for WrestleMania/UFC London shows are the gate receipts. The money they've got from those deals is already in the bank.
  10. Which is even more bizarre given that the XFL was one of the first leagues to be put on hold. Both UFC and WWE's main money-maker from these events is gate receipts, which they are going to have to refund either way, so running the shows at a loss when everyone thinks they shouldn't is just strange.
  11. Dana just needs to let it go. Every other sports league/organisation has gone on hold, and yet he's trying to pretend that nothing is wrong. The utter selfishness is mind-boggling.
  12. I think it's safe to assume this race isn't going to go ahead, even if it takes all the teams withdrawing to get it to happen. Saying that it wouldn't surprise me if Ferrari refused to budge and we end up with just Vettel and Lelclerc doing procession laps on Sunday.
  13. Gobert's an absolute idiot but the league stopping seems like it was going to be inevitable anyway. The only question now is how long it lasts, and whether they cut the regular season off now and just start with the play-offs when it returns, or maybe even just call the season off altogether.
  14. Here's the new F1 opening with the best F1 music that isn't The Chain: Highlights include the footage of Nelson Piquet punching Eliseo Salazar, and Max Verstappen's intro being on a backdrop of when his dad was engulfed in flames during a pit stop.
  15. The non-Ferrari powered teams have properly kicked off about the FIA's investigation into Ferrari's engine last year, the outcome of which has only been described as a "settlement". The teams are quite rightly asking why, if there was enough evidence for Ferrari to pay a settlement, there hasn't been any in-race punishment for the many races they were seemingly using an engine that didn't meet the regulations. Also it's no coincidence how Ferrari (and Haas/Alfa) were noticeably slower in qualifying after the decision was made at the US Grand Prix.
  16. Just for snooker in general I've always been amazed at any professional player's ability to control the cue ball, and I speak from my many failed attempts to try and execute even the slightest bit of spin. I'll add any 9 dart leg as well, again from trying and failing to get even one dart where I want it to go.
  17. I haven't watched the video for a while, but as it's Baddiel and Skinner in the 90s I apologise if there's anything in there that doesn't come across well in 2020.
  18. Along with Le Tissier I don't think anyone has scored more instant classics than this man.
  19. DTS was great again. It's a shame the restrictions meant they couldn't cover the Ferrari collision in Brazil, but the rest of the coverage of that race was superb. The coverage of the Gasly/Albon situation and Anthoine Hubert's death was also top notch. Also it was hilarious that one of the last lines of the series was Lawrence Stroll complaining about the spending of the top teams. Seems like they're already filming for Season 3 too.
  20. I got Two Point Hospital on the XBone yesterday having only heard it existed last week (and not realising it was 1/4 of the price on Steam, although I think I prefer it on a console). It is so much like Theme Hospital, obviously updated for the 21st century, and that makes it both very fun yet still challenging to actually make a profit. Also people keep dying, which is annoying of them.
  21. I can't get behind Fury for the many, many reasons stated in this thread, but his victory did bring me some joy after hearing every American sports show talk about how it would be a walkover for Wilder and that Fury had no chance. They did a predictions video for ESPN where about 15 sports analysts were asked and every single one said Wilder by KO, except for one person picking Fury, the only one who actually knows something about combat sports; Ariel Helwani.
  22. Wilder is going to exercise his rematch clause, and is blaming his entrance attire for being too heavy, therefore taking away the strength in his legs for the fight. As excuses go, that is certainly one.
  23. Oh that's how we're going to score goals. I was beginning to wonder.
  24. You wouldn't think that with a 35 point lead in the 4th quarter you would need to hit out at someone, challenge them to fight you, then go over and get chippy with the opposition bench. And then there's Russell Westbrook.
