Here's the gameplay story mode from the PC version complete with cutscenes. https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2ZoCCj9g1pb09QjAV_y73jLhyEZFQA3U

For those of you not familiar with World Cups, all matches after the first round that end in a draw go to 30 minutes of extra time and then a penalty shoot-out if the scores are still level. This has happened a few times already, but I got to see my first of this World Cup last night and I'd forgotten just how tense they are. I wasn't even supporting either of the teams yesterday (I've watched England in many shoot-outs over the years), but the pressure on the players is immense. Five players take the spot kicks and the side with fewer goals goes home (they go on if they're still tied after five attempts).

The fact that the video is mirrored made me think it might not be the original. This slightly longer video was posted two days earlier, is the correct way round and has a different voice-over. The casting seems to be Jake Gyllenhaal as Bo Duke, Ryan Gosling as Luke Duke and Charlize Theron as Daisy Duke. While the cousin characters are the same as the TV show, Jesse and Boss have passed, and Leonardo DiCaprio plays Boss's grandson Jefferson Hogg. There's also no mention of Rosco, as Nicole Kidman plays Sheriff Lorena Dawson. There are three different General Lees: the original '69 Charger; a Charger Daytona; a modern Charger. I can't see the flag on the roof of any of them. I'm sure the caption "Except The Fight" should be "Accept The Fight". Most of the comments aren't positive.

So I came across a video while looking through Google articles yesterday of a Dukes of Hazzard Reboot. Though there's a catch, it's all AI and fake. Though it is a bit entertaining and sad to think that it's all fake...

Say what?!!!! LOL. I am not better. I keep track of where Chase is but haven't sat down to watch any of it this year. I told myself that this was the year that I get back to watching every race. Well that didn't go as expected...

Ohhh!! Shame shame ! Everybody knows your name!

Who did you think the Prince and Princess of Wales represented? I gave a quick explanation of the British/Irish countries back in 2014 - see here. England and Wales do share their currency, and the Royal Mint is now located in Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own banks, and the Republic of Ireland uses Euros because it's part of the EU. ETA. The BBC put together 10 fun facts about Wales. It was aimed at kids, but you might find it interesting.

Jesse mutters to himself "Yep, but Emma's dirt bike blew up. I'd rather not remember that." Emma responded quickly, grabbing Jesse's arm "But I'll never forget that kiss" She winked at him.

I was hanging out with an 80 year old lady from Britian yesterday and learned a lot. I didn't even know Wales was a separate country!

I have to admit that since I have been into pro dirt bikes these past few years (and Moto GP sport bikes) I haven't followed NASCAR as much.

Oh please no. LOL. Sorry I have been slacking. I was watching my parents' pets/ house sitting...and been lazy. I will try to get better at posting about NASCAR.

"Now that's a race to remember!" Garrett yells out in celebration while raising his beer glass to cheers with those around him before he eyes Hobie and gives him a nod. He slowly lowers his raised glass and says, "As I'm sure this race will be, too."

We briefly mentioned it back in 2012, although I've just had to replace the dead video link - see here. The screengrabs I posted are here. To keep things together, here is the video:

Did anyone else see it? The 2 guys one Blond one Brunette driving an orange 1970 Dodge Charger. They drive into the drive thru jamming to the radio. They drive up to the speaker and the driver the Blond guy says "We'll take 2 Chicken Potpies." 😀 Yeah I know the series didn't use any '70 Chargers only '69 and doctored up '68 with '69 parts on them before anyone points that out to me. But still a cool and Dukes related commercial to me. 😁

All English eyes were on Atlanta earlier tonight. Most of the games are on too late for me to watch, but England v DR Congo was on at 5pm our time, which meant that the match was over halfway through with England 1-0 down by the time I got home from work. Luckily, they pulled it round after the commercial hydration break and won 2-1. Now I have a dilemma - I obviously want England to win, but they're playing Mexico in the next round, and I have Mexico in my work's sweepstakes!

Is the NASCAR season over? No one's mentioned it for ages!

Glad to hear you had fun. Pro dirt bike racers had the weekend off. I'm thinking about trading my dirt bike in for another Ninja. If that happens I'll still pay attention to dirt races but will likely focus more on Moto GP and Moto America.

I used to talk to Dawn Wells (Mary Ann) on Facebook while she was on there before she caught COVID-19 and it killed her.

Apologies for being a couple of days late with my summary. This week's F1 race was the Austrian Grand Prix. Kimi Antonelli was quick through practice, but Ferrari thought they'd locked out the front row in qualifying until Max Verstappen crashed and George Russell managed to take pole despite lifting to pass the yellow flags. The incident in qualifying probably slightly flattered Ferrari, and although the top drivers got away in formation, Charles Leclerc lost two or three places in the opening laps. The hot race at altitude didn't suit Cadillac, and both of their cars were out in the first few laps with overheated brakes. Lewis Hamilton spent a while in second before Max caught him, leading to a great bit of wheel-to-wheel action on lap 11. There was some amazing camera work along the back straight which managed to follow the cars at full speed. I'm guessing it was on a wire. With differing pit strategies and a couple of virtual safety cars, the cars behind George swapped places a few times, but none could pass him, although Max got close at times. At the flag, George was first, followed by Max and Kimi, all separated by only 1.9 seconds. Oscar Piastri took fourth just ahead of Lewis. The result cuts Kimi's lead to 40 points. You can see the race highlights here. Only a few days to wait until this weekend's British Grand Prix.

There aren't any stupid people in America so it must have been an AI bot posing as an American and it just got Australia and Austria mixed up. LOL

Everyone in my childhood lied to me. I'm 39 with a full head of hair. 😂 Here's why they lied. They always said "If you wear those Gilligan's Island Skipper's hats all the time, you'll grow up to be bald boy!" 😂

I saw an amusing tweet by an American after the USA won their match against Australia: USA beats Australia at the Wold Soccer Cup sending them back to Europe with nothing. Whoo hooo! Somehow simultaneously misunderstanding how the first round works and World geography.

Yes, I believe they were. That was the major selling point. But, I think by the time Dukes ran on TNN, cable was showing ads.
