Revisiting Microsoft’s Original Answer to Gran Turismo
Gran Turismo is near enough the greatest thing that ever happened to racing games. Let me firmly establish that right now. No-one had made a racing game quite like it before. It rocked the entire genre and its incredible girth cast a giant shadow that most other racing games in the tail-end of the original PlayStation era struggled to emerge from under. There was a long period of time where my copy of Gran Turismo was a permanent resident in my PlayStation. Its default location wasn’t in its box; it was in the console. Waiting.
I never actually played the original Forza Motorsport. At the time of its release I’d just begun working on Australia’s Official PlayStation Magazine and had been thrashing around with Gran Turismo 4 for six months. I was assured I’d dig Forza, which I suspected, but I didn’t really have room in my life for it. Besides, I already had an Xbox racing game I was addicted to: it was called V8 Supercars 2 (or TOCA Race Driver 2, as it’s more commonly known as).
Astronaut on His Way to Control an Earth-Based Robot from Space
Danish European Space Agency astronaut Andreas Mogensen is set to control an Earth-based robot from the International Space Station using a new haptic remote control.
Mogensen, commander Sergei Volkov and Aidyn Aimbetov are currently in transit to ISS after launching earlier today, September 2. Once there, Mogensen will control the arms of the Interact Centaur rover on September 7 from a 400 km orbit above Earth.
The force-feedback-based teleoperation will let Andreas feel what the robot is "feeling," allowing him to perform remote-controlled tasks in the sub-millimetre range.

Star Wars: Episode 8 Eyes TV Stars for Female Lead
The search for the female lead in Star Wars: Episode VIII has reportedly been narrowed to three "top contenders": Orphan Black's Tatiana Maslany, Jane the Virgin's Gina Rodriguez and Bates Motel's Olivia Cooke.
"Insiders insist it’s early in the casting process and that (writer-director Rian Johnson) is still auditioning actresses, with several rising stars yet to read for him," according to TheWrap.
"Others suggest that Johnson is narrowing down the field and that Rodriguez, Maslany and Cooke will be among a group of girls slated to chemistry-read with The Force Awakens star John Boyega before the end of the month."
All-Day McDonald’s Breakfast Starts Next Month
In a move designed to help turn the tide of slowing sales, McDonald's will begin offering its breakfast menu all day long beginning October 6.
Who among us doesn't know the heartbreak that comes with arriving at McDonald's, belly aching for the flavor of a savory breakfast treat, only to have those egg-filled dreams shattered by the phrase "I'm sorry, we stop serving breakfast at 10:30?"
That gut-wrenching statement will be a thing of the past, at least at McDonald's locations in the United States. A McDonald's spokesperson told CNN Money all-day breakfast was likely its "number one" customer request.
Karen Gillan Joins Emma Watson and More in The Circle
Karen Gillan is set to co-star in the upcoming film adaptation of Dave Eggers' novel, The Circle.
According to Deadline, Gillan will play Annie - a warm, goofy, but intelligent member of the titular Circle.
Karen Gillan as Doctor Who's Amy Pond.
The Circle is an internet monopoly that links users' emails, social media, banking, and online purchases with their universal operating system. That results in one online identity - and as moviegoers will find out, that may not turn out to be a good thing.
