Real Madrid have set a June 15th deadline to tie up the transfer
of Spurs' Welsh wonder Gareth Bale.
Real are currently the favourites to land the highly rated goal scorer with
a fee of £60m expected to be enough to prize Bale away from the London club.
Bale who won this year’s PFA player of the year award is reported to be
willing to talk to Real Madrid if Tottenham were to receive an offer (as reported
by the BBC).
Extra:- It’s crucial that Tottenham keep Bale in
order for them to push for a Champions League spot next season. But even that isn’t
enough, they need to strengthen key areas including their attack due to a lack
of goals coming from players other than Bale. Saying that if a £60m offer comes
from Madrid, I highly doubt Spurs rejecting the offer and therefore that money
can go a long way to capture long term targets such as Leandro Damiao and David Villa, with the pair expected to cost in the region
of £30m.
Six months after Peter Molyneux’s Curiosity app went live,
that promised to give one lucky winner a ‘life changing’ experience, we have
finally come to the conclusion after a colossal 25 billion cubes have been broken
away from users.
Curiosity received over 4 million downloads since the app’s
launch back in November 2012 and finally this curious cube finished yesterday,
(May 26th) at around 5pm (GMT).
The lucky winner was revealed to be Bryan Henderson from Edinburgh,
Scotland and his prize is to become the God in 22 cans’ new game ‘Project Godus’.
Peter Molyneux was tweeting all through the closing stages
of the so called ‘experiment’ and said: “We are sending the winner the video explaining
what’s inside, hope he shares #whatsinsidethecube”.
Moments later he tweeted saying that Bryan had agreed to post
the video. Video Below:-
The video explains how the prize could have been some simple
advice, (probably a good idea that this prize was scrapped in my opinion) or a
cash prize. But instead Bryan Henderson will have the ability, if he chooses to
comply, to become the God in 22 cans’ new game Project Godus.
The video clarifies that the winner “will intrinsically
decide on the rules that the game is played by”.
But the reward goes further than becoming a Godly in-game
character, Molyneux went on to say: “And here’s the life-changing bit: you will
share the success of the product. Every time people spend money on the product,
you will get a small piece of the pie”.
Overall the response to the prize announcement has been mixed. The video posted to '22CansOffical' YouTube channel has revived around 4,000 likes to around 2,500 dislikes with many others voicing their opinion on Twitter. One tweeter put "You get to decide all the rules, as long as they involve over promising and under delivering."
In amongst the tweets Molyneux was sending, he also tweeted:
“Consider would it be fair to convert left coins in Curiosity to our next game/
experiment”. Sounds like this is only the first of Molyneux’s experiments, we
could perhaps see another after E3.
Details on whether ‘Project Godus’ is going to be free to
play or what formats it will be available on are yet to be announced, but with
E3 only two weeks away we may hear more about this upcoming game in two weeks’
time.
This
week on the pod we discuss whether Mancini’s dismissal was

The summer blockbusters of 2013 are starting to roll out and
below I have compiled what looks to be the best comedy movies.
3. The Hangover Part 3- May
The first Hangover was recently voted funniest comedy film
ever by British cinema goers on The Sun. There is a reason why and the third installment looks to continue the same formula that we all found hilarious. The
second Hangover was highly criticised for being too similar to the original and
lacked that innovation that took us in with the first film. The third isn’t using
that traditional formula that the others seem to use. It looks as though the
trilogy is going to end on a high.
2. Kick Ass 2 – July
The sequel to the 2010 hit comedy is set to be released this
year recruiting the comedy genius that is Jim Carrey along the way. This isn’t a
typical superhero film as it adds that layer of vulnerability to the
characters. I expect Kick Ass 2 to be like Kick Ass whereby it’s very funny but
serious at the same time. It is very unique and I recommend anyone to watch thefirst film before seeing Kick Ass 2.
1. This is the End – June
The all-star cast including Seth Rogan, James Franco, JohanHill, Michael Sara plus a couple of A-list celebrities, to name a few, all play
themselves in this comedy. After a massive party at James Fanco’s house, that
includes some of the best comedy actors in the industry along with celebrity’s
like Rihanna and Emma Watson, the characters find them self coming face to face with the apocalypse. The apocalypse situation the actors find
themselves in results in them being confined inside James Franco’s house and
sure to create comedy gold. This in my opinion could go two ways, it could be
genius by confining these comedic minds together or it could fall a bit flat
and appear stale. But I’m quite confident that this will succeed and if it does
it has the potential to take the comedy crown.
