An extreme sports game with a story? FutureGrind’s developers talk cyberpunk
FutureGrind is a challenging and fun sci-fi take on the Trials formula.
Yesterday, an indie extreme-sports game called FutureGrind launched on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Windows. And it's about time, too. I had played the game at events like E3, PlayStation Experience, and the Game Developers Conference several times over the years, and I got addicted—to the point that, in the lead-up to any new industry show, I started to wonder, "Oh man, I wonder what's new with FutureGrind."

I don't either. When I look at the break-down, it's so low (as in bad) in so many important areas, and high in others like "international influence".

Forgotten man, forgotten disease—Aniru Conteh and the battle against Lassa fever
Surrounded by civil war and one of Africa's deadliest diseases, he stayed to save thousands.
The pickup truck was so overloaded with medical equipment that the chassis sagged almost to the ground. Dr. Austin Demby had just finished loading up the Toyota Hilux with as many microscopes, IV bags, computers, and lab and chemistry equipment he could fit in the extended bed. And as fast as possible, he sped away from the hospital in Segbwema, Sierra Leone.

Does gum disease have a key role in Alzheimer's?
Does gum disease play a key role in the development of Alzheimer's?
Scientists believe this may be the case after their study found further evidence of the link between bacteria in a common type of gum disease and people with dementia.
Researchers say their findings offer hope for a new way of tackling the illness, for which there is no cure and no effective treatments.
But does it mean people should be more worried about their oral health?

As Scott loves to point out - who knows if they are doing real science here or not.
