[Wigan Warriors 🍒⚪️ @WiganWarriorsRL]

Today we mourn the loss of a true sporting icon, Sir Billy Boston, who has passed away surrounded by his family.

Rugby League’s first knight, a Wigan legend, and "Everybody's Hero," his legacy on and off the field will endure for eternity.

Rest in peace, Sir Billy. 🍒⚪️

WHAT A PASS 🤯

Telstra Moment of the Match

[Grimsby Town F.C. @officialgtfc]

These guys need some serious kudos tonight 👏

Martin, Mike, and Will are our grounds team who’ve done an outstanding job of getting the pitch ready for tonight’s game.

Well done, team! 🙌

Producing a playable pitch in, what we think is fair to say, not the best recent weather and has postponed so many games elsewhere in the league is an incredibly hard task for even the best of groundsmen. Luckily, we have one.

Everybody at Lincoln United would like to thank our own groundsman, Matt Bradley, for producing a surface capable of upholding ninety minutes of football on each matchday - especially during the run of home games that we currently find ourselves within. Without him, there would simply be no pitch to play football. Thankyou, Matt! 👏

Fuckinghell that’s brutal 🤣

What a present that is though, once the bruising has gone down he’ll soon be slamming in the 180’s

THE MOST RIDICULOUS ENDING TO THE MADDEST GAME 🤯

Just watch... You will not be disappointed 😳

From the ridiculous to the sublime, as Luke Littler pins an incredible 152 checkout to complete an insane comeback 👏

Wow, wow, wow!

We released gta San Andreas 20 years ago. October 26, 2004.

Game releases were different back then.

It took 6 weeks for the DVDs to be produced, boxed and distributed. Patches over the internet were not yet a thing.
For us, all of the stress had happened at the cut-off point, 6 weeks prior. No big issues had come up.

Most devs had taken a holiday and we were already thinking about our next project.

Digital distribution didn’t exist yet. Games were typically released on a Tuesday/Wednesday in the US and Fridays in the UK. Same for SA.

The internet was crap and apart from a couple of trailers, gamers didn’t know too much about the game.

For big games, stores would open at Midnight before release day so that pre-orders could be picked up.
I only later found out, the publisher has to pay the stores to make these late openings happen.

I went to the biggest store near the R*North offices, which was HMV on Princess Street, Edinburgh. Even though it was a drizzly night, the line meandered all through the store and spilled out onto the street.

It was mind-blowing to see all those people so excited, going home to play the game all through the night.
