Funny how UEFA executives can fly from Azerbaijan to Italy, to Scotland, Hungary, Romain and Spain without any restrictions yet England's fans cannot make the game in Rome unless they used psychic abilities and pre-booked the trip 3 days prior to us beating Germany. One rule for them and another for the real fans. I don't get how you can be double-vaccinated and pass a test at both ends over a period of two days yet you're still made to isolate for 5. Hopefully expats can snap up as many as possible and we have some backing in Italy.

I'm so used of facing brainless enemies in the likes of COD and Far Cry that I've been caught off-guard so many times in this game already - the AI is on another level here and one mission I was facing a guy in cover and another one on the level below who didn't have a clear shot at me but managed to bounce a grenade off the wall which almost landed at my feet. I tried running to cover but was killed by another enemy who was slowly flanking without me even knowing on the stairs the other side. When I tried it again, it played out completely different. There are no grenade indicators either plastered all over the screen so you have to use your eyes and ears during these frantic battles. Call of Duty is literally duck behind cover, shoot, duck, reload, duck when grenade icon appears and if you go off-rails ahead of the game intends then you just fall to the floor dead without even being shot. Harder difficulties in those type of games doesn't mean better AI either - it means more damage dealt and you get 'shot' more. It's just mind-blowing to see what happens in each encounter and the sad thing is this game being 16 years old and we've become so used of shoddy AI, phantom bullets, vision cones/alert bars and generally dumb AI that's an insult to the word 'intelligence'.

I have a sneaking suspicion they bullshitted it so the likes of Microsoft would buy into them. I can't see where their outlandish value lies otherwise. Todd Howard is also a master liar so if anyone was to con a major organisation, it would be him😅

Rice and Phillips both had great games and really stepped it up for the occasion - they could've easily been dropped after the Scotland game but both looked solid and Phillips was especially lively. Southgate was right to keep the faith. Ukraine will be tough especially in Rome with very little England fans but it's a very winnable game and if we do that then it's back to Wembley for a another potentially winnable tie. It's a great opportunity.

Doesn't look like this game is even off the ground yet 3 years after The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced, Todd Howard is thinking about making it | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Howard said fans should still think of the new Elder Scrolls game as being in the "design" phase. This will probably be a no-show until 2026

Anyone played this gem before? It's an old FPS game from 2005 but absolutely way ahead of its time. It's primarily an action game but it does have some light horror moments set on a tense and atmospheric backdrop. The gunplay is amazing and the game also makes use of incredible lighting and particle effects. You can also slow down combat with a Max Payne-style bullet time feature to see each bullet hit and the environmental destruction that occurs. The AI is also very impressive and every gun battle feels and plays differently. It's feels almost like a Half Life 2 mod or something. Currently it can be got at for £1.60 on Fanatical which is an absolute steal! F.E.A.R - Info ISTHEREANYDEAL.COM Visually, it still holds up very well and it feels mechanically incredible! Well worth picking up as they don't make games like this anymore

I don't think I've ever been addicted to a game although I did play MW2 and Black Ops in rather long sessions a decade ago. I also had some huge time sinks - mainly with strategy games when I was younger too but nothing of any concern that impacted with school or social life. When I hear about other people's stories, the differences are huge and are the absolute definition of addiction. Most games are shit nowadays and certainly aren't worth wasting time on - I couldn't imagine playing DOTA or CSGO for 14 hours a day like some. Others can play the likes of Warzone for 8 hours and then have another session after a short break. I am so glad I've outgrew a lot of genres and haven't been born into the skin/lootbox generation. Games have had more addictive and money sapping mechanisms in play in the past 7-8 years but thankfully I have not fallen into a lot of traps those games have. I also don't have the time to be addicted to any game either!

We’ve done it! Very cagey game but what a performance! I was a bit worried about the lineup but the players adapted well and our midfield worked incredibly hard. Shaw was excellent and we repelled a lot to keep a clean sheet. Did get fortunate a couple of times but took our chances well. I was petrified about VAR ruling them out during the celebrations😂 This will give us huge confidence especially in Southgate and his decisions along with his game plans. Off to Rome we go!

Switzerland have done it 5-4 in pens!! What a game and what a day of football with 14 goals in 2 matches! Superb comeback from the Swiss when they looked dead, buried and completely deflated but the kept going and deserved to win. The missed penalty came from the worst player on the pitch; Mbappe😂 I hope England can reach this intensity and quality tomorrow because the standard is looking extremely high and anybody can beat anyone.
-
I was wrong - 3-3 so far😂 Mad comeback from the Swiss
-
Switzerland have blown a miracle - could’ve gone 2-0 up against France but missed the penalty and Benzema goes straight down the other end and scores twice in 2 minutes. They’ll probably go on to win 3/4-1 at this rate. The Swiss look shellshocked

Croatia 3-5 Spain What a game! It all started with a comedy own goal and the a cracking comeback after Spain took a 3-1 lead. Croatia could've easily gone 4-3 up at the start of extra time but then two quick goals sealed it. Spain are beginning to look quite a force once again with 10 goals in two games although they are vulnerable at the back. Croatia conceded some daft goals too including the third where the left back was having a water break whilst play was going on allowing for an easy goal. Great goal from Morata too! Can't see the France game being quite so dramatic though..

Windows 11 is due out this year, but the free update for Windows 10 arrives in 2022 | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Microsoft is waiting until next year before it starts updating Windows 10 PCs to Windows 11.

What a brainless idiot! Imagine seeing years of hardwork, expenditure and preparation ruined in a split second by some moron trying to seek 5 seconds of fame like it's 1995. The police are determined to prosecute and the organisers are looking to take legal action. The woman scarpered during the carnage and now the 'man'hunt continues

Netherlands paid the ultimate price - missed an excellent 1v1 opportunity and 30 seconds later they were down to 10 men and never recovered. Blatant red card and very poor defending from De Ligt - he should've taken the slip and let the ball roll rather than fall over and then scoop the ball up to deny a clear goalscoring opportunity. Their performance after the red was very defeatist and the manger made no attempt to change the system. Czech are definite dark horses. Belgium game was a tight and cagey affair. I thought Portugal dominated possession and had a few chances but Belgium looked solid enough. Pitch was fucking awful though! Cannot wait to see them against Italy - they really haven't had much luck with their knockout draws in recent competitions!

LMAO Anti-vaxxer mistakes pub beer tent for Covid testing site and shouts at it METRO.CO.UK She tells a man outside the marquee he should be 'ashamed of himself'.

Italy were very lucky last night! Austria put up one hell of a performance and dominated large parts of the second half. They really grew into the game and the Italians were flat out of ideas for the most part. Also their first goal conceded in 12 games. They are definitely there for the taking against a bigger team.

Wales soundly beaten by Denmark 4-0. They started reasonably well but the Danes soon took control of the whole game who become the first team to reach the Quarters after losing the first two matches.

Microsoft confirms Windows 11 will be a free update for licensed Windows 10 users | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM If your PC can handle it, Microsoft has confirmed that licensed Windows 10 users will be able to upgrade for free. Much needed Store overhaul too - it looks cleaner and fairly well organised which is a surprise as the old store was a convoluted bag of shite.

Sam Allardyce is the best England manager ever as he has a 100% record😎 For all the games Southgate has managed and despite getting through to the World Cup Semi Final, I still find it incredibly hard to judge his ability at this level. H's had it very fortunate fixture-wise and when he has rarely come up against a top ranked team, we've lost. Germany will be a massive test of his managerial quality and this is where he needs to prove himself. Prior to that, I don't think England have had a good or appropriate manager since the 90's. If we can get past Germany it will be a massive confidence boost in him and the squad and then we have a great opportunity of reaching the final with the route we've been given. If we lose on Tuesday then I think questions may have to be asked.

Cracking games in Group F tonight - at one point England were facing every opponent in the group with the table changing every 10 minutes! Germany it is though and a huge task for us on Tuesday but still winnable.

It's available on Steam Forza Horizon 5 on Steam STORE.STEAMPOWERED.COM Limitless driving fun in an ever-evolving open world. Along with the Windows Store and I think it's on Game Pass Ultimate for PC and Xbox too. This includes full crossplay also.

Decent enough win and performance from England tonight and it was nice to see Jack start along with Saka. We started well but rapidly fell flat and out of ideas as the game progressed but managed to see it out fairly comfortably. We've lined up a potentially tough draw with the group of death but in all honesty, that's probably what we need.
