Maintain to this day that this is the most underrated Simpsons joke and it gets me every time

[Jesse Hawken @jessehawken]

What were the Simpsons moments where you laughed so hard you couldn’t breathe? I have two: Mr. Sparkle and Worker and Parasite - literally dying of laughter

#8 / #GearsOfWar 2 / #XboxSeriesX

Largely more of the first and probably didn’t give me quite as much as I’d hoped. Still great but left me wanting.

Cover shooting is still excellent all this time later.

Can tell it’s the middle entry in the original trilogy, though.

7.5/10

[Callum Ingall @CallumIngall]

One of my resolutions this year (more of a promise to myself) is to get through as much of my game backlog as I can. It’s getting out of hand and I seldom give it the time I’d hope to.

It’s in the realm of 70 games, so I’ll do my best. I’ll update as I check stuff off (ft GIFs).

#7 / #Mixtape / #XboxSeriesX

A wonderful handful of hours. I romanticise the setting a lot and it had me feeling all kinds of ways about my late teens.

Games that weave music into their core always get me anyway but even with pretty rudimentary gameplay, it’s special.

8.5/10

Can hear the sigh of relief from the Scottish FA from here

[Football Away Days @FBAwayDays]

Some serious limbs when Hearts went 2-1 up against Rangers this afternoon.

😍👏

[Callum Ingall @CallumIngall]

Just humour me.

**Buy the physical version**

Yes there are caveats. Day one patches, full game isn’t always pressed, there isn’t always a physical disc/cartridge available etc.

But where you can, buy the boxed game. They want you to own nothing. A digital future is bleak.

[Lance McDonald @manfightdragon]

Hugely terrible DRM has now been rolled out to all PS4 and PS5 digital games. Every digital game you buy now requires an online check-in every 30 days. If you buy a digital game and don't connect your console to the internet for 30 days, your license will be removed.

If nothing else, we’re the most interesting club in the game

Get out of my club you complete fucking charlatan

[Leicester City @LCFC]

Following confirmation of Leicester City’s relegation to League One, Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha has issued the following statement:

To our fans,

Relegation to League One is now confirmed. As Chairman, that responsibility sits with me. There are no excuses.

We have experienced the highest highs and now the lowest lows, and the pain is shared by all of us. I am truly sorry for the disappointment we have caused. I understand the strength of feeling among our supporters, and we do not take your support for granted, especially at moments like this.

Our focus now is on what comes next. We will take the necessary decisions to move the Club forward, working together to rebuild, improve, and restore the standards expected of Leicester City. Our objective is clear – to respond strongly and compete to move this Club forward again.

We will face this head-on. We will keep going.

Together.

Didn’t even realise until now that Sarah Bond is going too. Had a lot of time for her.

It’s so over.

[Callum Ingall @CallumIngall]

Feel like Phil did everything he could after Mattrick seemed to do his best to sink the brand, but lost credibility when they went multi-plat.

Vision was antithetical to Microsoft and Xbox was never going to survive as was when in constant financial decline.

Grateful he tried.

[Phil Spencer @XboxP3]

It’s rare in life to know when a chapter is closing, but after 38 years at Microsoft, that moment has arrived for me. I’ve made the decision to retire and begin the next chapter of my life. It’s a milestone that’s given me a chance to reflect on the incredible journey I’ve been fortunate enough to share with so many of you.

[Callum Ingall @CallumIngall]

At least I have Hearts

VAR has killed football. It isn’t news but the game has actually gone. #LIVMCI

[Callum Ingall @CallumIngall]

Good. But the clowns choosing his replacement are still the ones who have gotten us into this mess.

Appoint who you want. Nothing changes until Top sells and Rudkin is shown the door. Then it’s a minimum three year rebuild on and off the pitch before we see the benefit. #lcfc

[Leicester City @LCFC]

We can confirm that Martí Cifuentes has left his position as Leicester City First Team Manager with immediate effect.
