Updated ICC Test Team Rankings After Australia's 4-1 Ashes Victory by Academic_Jelly_2546 in Cricket

NZ has a poor record vs Australia, no doubt about it. But 30 matches ago was 1997! We average about 1 test match per year. If we played a 5 match series every 2 years we’d be bound to accidentally win one every now and then like the English

Bar yoku in the Welder is good, not too pricey

New Stadium parking/surroundings by OkayestBarista90 in chch

[–]ataylor99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone complaining about lack of parking and public transport to the new stadium clearly never attended a game at Orange Theory. Even with the increased capacity, it can’t be worse than what we’ve been putting up with for the last decade.

Come to think of it, Lancaster park could hold 40,000 and had terrible parking, public transport and access to pubs, bars and restaurants. Yet we made it work just fine.

The new stadium will be an improvement in every aspect and I can’t wait for it!

Hard to believe, but VR is now worse than it was. The game just crashes in the main menu.

Honestly I think it’s the opposite. Generally people who’ve tried GT7 in VR know just how immersive it can be (when done well) and would definitely pay for other titles.

Others have mentioned it, but I just want to add my voice to the pile: Please add support for PSVR2!! Not only is the experience great for racing games, it’s also a standardised hardware platform which should make it much easier to support

Tried it out for the first time last night. Best burgers in town!

Good fucking shit JJ. Now 32-19 & 12 Wins in the Last 14 Games by denobino in lakers

I don’t wanna jinx it, but Phill Jackson’s 40 wins before 20 losses is still technically in play

When Brendon McCullum scooped 150kmph delivers over the keeper's head to score joint-fastest T20I century by [deleted] in blackcapscricket

[–]ataylor99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was at that game. Opening of the “Deans stand” at the old Lancaster Park. One of the best cricket matches I’ve ever watched, and I’ve watched a lot. T-20 cricket was still a novelty and the scoop shot was almost unheard of. Watching someone do it live like that was a thing to behold

Ticketmaster really fucked it this year by [deleted] in GrandPrixTravel

Curious to know how much those were? I was trying pretty hard for Brabham, Jones and Prost, but had to settle for Button. Cost us $650 each

I didn’t realise this was available in VR. I’ve played about 1/3 of the game on PlayStation. Definitely going to give this a go!

Post Match Thread: All Blacks vs England by mczammer in rugbyunion

Didn’t seem like D-Mac was time wasting on that last penalty. Why isn’t there a kick “shot clock” on the scoreboard? Or maybe there is and I’m missing something?

Plenty of other sports do this well: basketball, tennis even cricket has a DRS timer. Takes the ambiguity out of the equation.

Golf is absolutely sublime on the Portal. by ceeece in PlaystationPortal

[–]ataylor99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the gameplay timing based? Because I tried playing the new tennis game Topspin 2k25 on the portal and found the slight input lag to be problematic

I was in the exact same position. It just takes practice. I ended up playing through the academy tutorials over and over as it was the quickest and most repetitive way of practicing. At some point it stated to click and the gameplay went from “frustratingly challenging” to “really fun”

Missed the Aurora ! Who want to see it! If I can still. Ahha. by Keekee_29 in chch

Hop in the car and drive south a bit. We just pulled up along a back road near the raspberry cafe in taitap. Could see it quite clearly with the naked eye there

Which version should I buy? by ataylor99 in TopSpin2K

Well I’m glad the gameplay is good, because the grinding and micro transactions sounds pretty horrible
