VGC has just released a nearly four-minute video showcasing the first gameplay footage of the upcoming arcade racer, CLUTCH. While this footage comes from a pre-release build and doesn't fully reflect the final product, it definitely gives us a sneak peek into what the developers are aiming to achieve.
In CLUTCH, players will immerse themselves in a fast-paced racing experience, and from the footage seen so far, it looks like they're on the right track. The visuals and mechanics shown in the video hint at a thrilling arcade racing experience that fans of the genre might really enjoy.

Points Make Badges Award Announcement
Congratulations to
Strawberry Man for racking up a mighty 150 trophy points - a sure sign of dedication, activity, and general forum greatness.
Your efforts haven't gone unnoticed… though let's be honest, with that many points, you've either earned the community's admiration - or cleverly hacked the system.
Either way, this badge is yours. Impressive work!
(But let's not pretend you're not still a menace to society.)

The PlayStation App was updated recently. One new feature is that the PlayStation takes any screenshots you take and stores them on your app for download for 14 days.
I thought it might be a good excuse to start sharing people's in-game captures. Obviously, this is open to all platforms and not limited to PlayStation owners.
I'll kick off with Gran Turismo 7 and Elden Ring. Time to start taking better pics.

Keeper. Beautiful looking game. One of the more painterly art styles I've seen recently - even to the extent that some textures and areas feel like they're rendered in brushstrokes.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is quite the looker.

Forza Horizon 6
Test your knowledge. Five questions, fifteen seconds each, with timer-based scoring that rewards quick thinking and a wrong answer that ends the round.
Who will be the smartest player?

It is always the same formula, too. Less common sense, more confidence. Loud opinions. Bad timing. Unwanted explanations. A real medical mystery, honestly.

From the early 90s, he has earned himself and others vast amounts of money by spotting opportunities in tech and placing himself front and centre.
By the time he invested in Tesla everything he was involved with was a success such was his reputation as a tech "fixer".
With Twitter, he's done the opposite, got in too late and paid too much.

Elon Musk has officially become the world's first trillionaire, with his net worth soaring to an impressive $1.11 trillion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. This milestone comes on the heels of SpaceX's successful debut on the Nasdaq stock exchange, where it was valued at a staggering $2.2 trillion.
This achievement not only highlights Musk's significant influence in the tech and space industries but also marks a pivotal moment in the financial landscape. The launch of SpaceX on the stock market has captured the attention of investors and the public alike, reflecting the growing interest in space exploration and technology.

And yet so clearly a deeply unhappy man. If you can be so rich yet so hateful it doesn't particularly make me resentful of his wealth.
The domestic football season is over for another year, and many players are preparing for the World Cup. Managers, old and new, will be assessing their squads and making plans for the transfer window and beyond. Scouts will be looking at players, the media will be speculating, and some players will see their valuations rise on the back of a good World Cup.
Discuss the latest rumours and gossip surrounding a player on the move or who could potentially be switching clubs as we head towards the 2026-27 football season.

Atletico do not think this was a genuine bid to sign Alvarez. It was just re-elected Real president Florentino Perez fulfilling his election promise of placing a €150m bid on a exciting, unnamed player.

Apparently, Bernardo Silva is poised to sign for Real Madrid. It looked certain he would be moving to Barcelona at one point but now Madrid looks a more likely destination.

Real Madrid appears to be on the verge of securing the signing of Bernardo Silva.
Bayern Munich is feeling optimistic about its pursuit of Marcus Rashford. The German giants are reportedly confident they can strike a deal for the Manchester United forward.
Manchester United has successfully come out on top in the race to sign Mateus Fernandes. This acquisition adds another promising talent to their roster as they aim to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
What's the weather like where you are today?
Been horrible here today, last week we were basking in 27C, more like 15C today with rain, wind and no sign of summer!

Did anyone else get magazines with the free demo disc on? I have some really fond memories of messing about playing demos and things on them. Gives me peak nostalgia feelings.
Dylan
The demos used to be class, you seemed to get almost full games, same applied to PC games at times. It was brilliant.
