Gideon Mensah: Rose-Schüler soll linke Kölner Abwehrseite dichtmachen
Mensah ist 27 Jahre alt, Linksfuß, WM-erfahren und in mehreren Topligen Europas aktiv gewesen. Der 1. FC Köln darf sich auf einen international erfahrenen, fertigen Profi freuen, der die linke (Problem)-Seite in der neuen Saison schließen soll. Physis und Tempo stimmen beim Neuzugang der Rheinländer auf jeden Fall.
Mensahs Karriereweg erzählt viel über sein Profil. Ausgebildet wurde der ghanaische Nationalspieler bei der West African Football Academy, früh ging es für ihn nach Europa in den RB-Kosmos. Einer seiner ersten Förderer ist ein Trainer, der in der Bundesliga bei Borussia Mönchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund und RB Leipzig seine Spuren hinterlassen hat: Marco Rose.
Lego presenterer offisielt settet « E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial»
I fjor, som en del av Lego Ideas-initiativet – der Lego setter søkelyset på kreative konstruksjoner designet av fans og til og med kunngjør en samling som skal gjøres om til ordentlige og offisielle sett – ble en av forslagene omgjort til en Lego-modell av kanskje Steven Spielbergs mest berømte karakter og en av filmverdenens mest ikoniske romfarere.
E.T. «E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial» ble omgjort til en Lego-modell, og det ble lovet at den til slutt skulle lanseres som et offisielt sett som du også kan kjøpe på Legos nettside. Nå har dette settet blitt presentert for verden, og planen er at det skal lanseres allerede neste måned, den 1. august.
Settet består av totalt 1 226 deler og utvider Ideas-serien. Det vil koste potensielle kjøpere 119,99 £/129,99 €, og modellen har et fullt roterbart hode, bevegelige armer og fingre, samt en krukke med solsikker som han kan bære i hendene. Det finnes til og med en bryter på baksiden av modellen som kan få en lyskloss i torsoen til å lyse, for å gjenspeile E.T.s berømte lysende hjerte.
Settet er 24 cm høyt, 21 cm bredt og 15 cm dypt, og du kan se hvordan det ser ut nedenfor.
A piece of GTA modding history that was considered lost has been rebuilt from scratch and fixed 22 years later
Grand Theft Auto 3's Ghost City was my first proper experience of community discovery.
I was too young to fully appreciate game-breaking in the likes of Super Mario and Alex Kidd, so the idea of flying the clipped-wing Dodo aircraft from the runway of Frances International Airport at a very specific angle in order to break the 3D map and wind up in an otherwise inaccessible area—the section which housed the game's opening bank robbery cutscene, floating well beyond the playable map—blew my teenage mind.
In 2004, modder Eliano86 built a bridge that allowed players to more formally access the area with less of the faff, however the project's original hosting platform (gta-downloads.com) has long since disappeared from the interwebs. Now, hobbyist creator Mod_Saver has resurrected that project well over two decades down the line. Enter Ghost City Available.
"For over a decade, this specific alternative bridge mod was considered 'Lost Media'," says Mod_Saver. "The original hosting platform went completely offline, and the original link was dead forever. Even the Wayback Machine couldn't recover the downloadable files. This mod was gone.
"Instead of letting it fade into history, I decided to fully recreate and resurrect it from scratch based on an old 2012 video (GTA 3 - Tips & Tricks - How to Reach Ghost Town by GTA Series Videos) footage. But I didn't just clone it: I fixed its biggest flaw. The original 2004 mod was strictly visual (you would fall straight through the Ghost Town floor). 22 years later, I have finally built the missing collision files (.col) to make the entire island solid and fully playable for the very first time."
Which is pretty beautiful, truth be told. I'm a sucker for game preservation, for unearthing secrets and for the passion that drives each and every hobbyist endeavour—in this case in relation to a game now 25 years old and an OG mod just a few years younger.

‘Drenched by beer’: England fans go wild for the World Cup pint-toss celebration
Outdoor fan parks allow football lovers to enjoy the messy euphoria – so long as they ditch the denim
Once upon a time, the pub was the default choice for most football fans keen to watch the match with fellow supporters – and spilling your beer on a fellow patron was a serious faux pas. But watching the World Cup this year is a bigger, some would say better, and almost certainly wetter experience.
The phenomenon of fan parks has changed the way supporters have been cheering on the Three Lions in recent years. Large crowds amass under a giant screen to sing and shout their way through the ebbs and flows of England’s tournament progress.
