Peugeot has introduced the 308 Racing Cup that will be showcased during the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Peugeot has introduced the 308 Racing Cup that will be showcased during the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. Based on the 308 GTi by Peugeot Sport, the car is 1,910 mm wide and features a wide body kit with 18-inch wheels. At the back there’s a massive spoiler, inspired by the WTCC series. Power is provided by the same 1.6-liter turbo petrol unit, found under the hood of the 308 GTi. Heavily retuned, this engine provides 308 PS (227 kW), which is 38 PS (28 kW) more than the power of the 308 GTi. It is mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. The successor for the RCZ Racing Cup will weight no more than 1,050 kg and will reach customers in late 2016. It will make its global premiere in Frankfurt, while a dynamic appearance is scheduled for October 24-25 at the Paul Ricard track in France.

The making of Bravely Default 2, a return to form built on demos, mistakes, and Octopath Traveler
While Bravely Second: End Layer continued the story of the original game, Bravely Default 2 is now hoping to continue the story of the franchise some six years later. The third (and slightly confusingly named) installment of the series will launch on Nintendo Switch this Friday, February 26, and producer Masashi Takahashi hopes to see it establish Bravely as a full-fat series home to independent but thematically connected stories and games. He and character designer Naoki Ikushima have also worked to marry the best parts of Bravely with lessons learned from Octopath Traveler, the last Switch JRPG that the two worked on, and player feedback has shaped that process at nearly every level. A return to form "While I am really proud that so many people have played the games and like the series, at the same time I also feel with each game we had a lot of points to reflect on," Takahashi says of the series thus far. "With Bravely Second: End Layer, we received a lot of comments mainly … [Read more...] about The making of Bravely Default 2, a return to form built on demos, mistakes, and Octopath Traveler
Evercade is a promising product with teething issues
Update: we've now completed a full Evercade review if you'd like an in-depth report of the game after testing it out for longer. And if you'd like to check out similar retro throwbacks to gaming's classic years, be sure to take a look at our guide to the best retro consoles . While the recent wave of mini consoles has been a good thing overall, it’s easy to understand why they don’t scratch the itch for everyone. With their fixed software line-ups, the fun inevitably has a limit. What’s more, they can’t offer one important part of the fun of retro gaming – building a collection. Blaze has attempted to fulfil that need with the Evercade, a dedicated retro gaming handheld that runs bespoke compilation cartridges. But does it represent a good way to play these games? Key Details Released : Out Now Price : From £59.99 Publisher : Blaze Players : 1 The device itself is relatively basic, in order to keep costs down. An internal battery supplies 4-5 … [Read more...] about Evercade is a promising product with teething issues
A futuristic new PUBG game has been announced
Well, we knew a new PUBG title for console and PC would be launching soon, but back in January we also heard something about a new mobile title set in the PUBG universe - and it seems Krafton has decided to unveil the latter first. PUBG: New State appears to be something of a sequel to the original PUBG, taking the battle royale into the future (2051) and introducing a new battleground called "TROI". It will apparently expand PUBG's lore, allowing players to discover "how the universe has evolved". I guess you can tell NASA to pack up the Perseverance rover, then. It sounds like the fundamentals of the original PUBG battle royale will remain the same, while adding several new features, such as a new in-game weapon customisation that allows players to make various weapons with customisation kits. These kits themselves include a variety of improvements such as performance enhancements, fire mode selection and grenade launcher attachments. On top of that you can now expect "combat … [Read more...] about A futuristic new PUBG game has been announced
Self-Consciousness as an Attribute
“I’m scared to speak up at a meeting. I don’t want to sound stupid.” “I don’t want to risk saying something offensive, so I’ll just listen and say only innocuous things.” “I’m afraid if s/he sees me with my clothes off, s/he’ll be turned off. So I think I’ll put off dating for a while.” “I don’t want to risk the person pitying me or giving me unwanted advice so I won’t disclose my illness.” A client told me about having been embarrassed in the junior high school locker room changing into his gym clothes. While the other kids were bonding with locker room talk, he asked the teacher to give him a locker in the corner, away from all the other boys. Rather than telling you to get over such embarrassments and perhaps how to do so, I want to make the case here that often, inaction for fear of embarrassment is wise: It’s protective against people disliking you. We all have self-censoring mechanisms, often appropriately. For example, it may be wise to not share our … [Read more...] about Self-Consciousness as an Attribute
