Good balanced review:

I'd agree with Phil, and the weekly league race is something to look forward to. I also feel that one league race every 2 weeks is a bit too far apart and people would easily forget which weeks the league weeks are. Potentially adding unnecessary complication? I like the idea of making the first race of every evening a non league race so those who want to play casually can play and then the serious sweaty lot can stick around for the league race afterwards? Thoughts?

While it has seen a significant rise in PC players recently, I think some of the recent rise in popularity is last months launch on consoles. Though as I understand it, the original PC release was different somehow and it got quite the update alongside the launch on consoles.

I finished the Rurouni Kenshin series Sunday night. And, my goodness. Well done. You can tell that they vastly improved parts of their cinematics and writing between the first movie and the second movie (per release date). Movies 2 (Kyoto Inferno) and 3 (The Legend Ends) were released close to each other as it is one story. Same for movies 4 (The Final) and 5 (The Beginning) being released close to each other. Leave it to Warner Bros to produce a series of movies with an overall story arc, I mean, they did do Harry Potter properly too. Back to movies 2 and 3. Kyoto Inferno starts with a highly disturbing scene as you watch a whole squad of policemen get killed and taken.. with the taken ones eventually being dropped to their fiery deaths in a the antagonist's recreation of hell. Aside from the first movie with a very clear villain, what was interesting about the rest was that I don't think you can truly pass clear judgment on the villains of the other movies. And, that's something that is part of Kenshin's burden. The villains produced are products of his past, for better or worse, in his own mostly indirect ways. Kenshin wasn't the one who initially "killed" and burned Shishio, but it was Kenshin starting to question his role as assassin that led his side to grooming a sociopath into an assassin. For movie 4 (The Final), Kenshin understands Enishi's anger and grief, and the guilt he has over Enishi's sister is something he has carried throughout his whole story. He wears it on his face. Literally. With the scars. I am super happy I chose to watch the movies in chronological order instead of release order. I think ending on The Final as the last movie was a nice closure to Kenshin's pain, redemption, and story. However, if you wanted to watch it in release order, ending on The Beginning is also pretty good as it acts more of an encore to flesh out his past. Plus, it's really cool how they used all the previously shot scenes in the older movies to create The Beginning. The continuity of these films are as beautiful as the martial arts in it. Not sure if I have seen any other film series done so well. Not even Marvel. These types of movies and stories just make me crave more of these high-quality productions.

If we don't turn up then we would likely get heavily penalised, also slated for depriving another team of a place and it would also bugger up any future prospects of hosting the competition. We'd also get called into question about why we didn't say anything for over a decade. We've kinda put ourselves out there as the poster-nation for virtue signalling in the last 18 months and it's great to see so many positives on and off the pitch but the footballing world in general would just see a level of hypocrisy and an 11th hour woke publicity stunt. There's just too much money, contracts and red tape for us to pull off any ballsy move or do something that would make a difference which other nations would support and they are also just as much tied. We've already shamefully bent the knee for UEFA against government guidelines and accepted blackmail over the well-being of the wider public in Euro 2020 so just imagine what FIFA would do to us at our own game and how well we would bow to them if needs be. FIFA should've been obliterated years ago after the Blatter and co scandal but it's just the same suits worn by other clowns.

Blitz just sounds like they're going to put loads of players on maps designed for 6v6 so you're constantly spawning and dying. Kinda like playing Shitment all the time. I'll avoid it like the plague.
