******* TIMO GLOCK........................................

Jenson had to lift off because of yellow flag now hes out in Q1. Not impressed.

Button had more than enough time, a fast car and better conditions prior to the Glock incident to make it into Q2. He didn't, so... tough luck.

Maybe he did, maybe he didnt, traffic and conditions prevented him from putting in a good lap.

But he only had time for one last flying lap just before sector 15 he was 1.5 seconds up on 17th place then Timo spun causing yellow flag, McLaren just confirmed on Sky F1 that Jenson lifted off the throttle for yellow flag or he would have easily cleared Q1.

Again he should have changed to the other tyres sooner in the session, its partly his fault and partly glocks fault, but this is F1 so **** happens

By luck, not skill. He will go backwards soon enough tomorrow when the 'McDolans' aren't hindered by traffic.

The McLaren's were struggling to generate heat in qualifying. Mercedes on the other hand generate heat very well.

If it's a wet race as expected, it could go anybody's way. I don't see the McLarens getting a clear run when they're starting in 8th and 18th...

i think i said it already, but ferrari has clearly the best car and it has shown today.

mercedes on the other hand has maximum the 4th best car on the grid but with schumacher a driver unmatched in dedication, work-ethics and speed. its not luck that after benetton and ferrari now mercedes is the 3rd team showing VERY strong performances under his leadership.

mclaren needs to worry. they had the best car at the start of the year but havent made anything with it.

i see a schumi win tomorrow. and ofc praying for an alonso dnf. the luck of this guy is undeserved.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
