You know, if there's one video game developer which is practically defined by racing games, then it's Codemasters without a doubt. After all, they not only created the 'TOCA Race Driver' series (which lasted from 1997 to 2007 and actually made its debut several months before the 'Gran Turismo' franchise did), but also developed the 'Grid' series (which began in 2008 and, as of this writing, had its latest entry come out in 2022). Speaking of the 'Grid' series, the game shown here (which is called 'GRID Autosport') aimed to "go back to basics" in terms of pure racing after the confusion that was 'Grid 2'. So yeah, 'Forza Motorsport' this clearly isn't.
For my 'GRID Autosport' playlist, I took three road-legal cars (all of which are right-hand-drive, of course) around the Mount Panorama Circuit (AKA the most iconic Australian racetrack as far as I know). Out of those three, the E92 iteration of the BMW M3 (shown here) is the fastest. Speaking of which, there's a reason why this particular version of the BMW M3 (which to this day is the only production M3 to be powered by a V8 engine, assuming that the street-legal version of the E46 M3 GTR doesn't count) is still iconic even after all these years. Between its naturally aspirated 4.0 L V8 engine and its 6-speed manual transmission, this quintessential sports car would be the last BMW coupe to carry the "M3" moniker (as subsequent iterations of this legendary sports coupe would be produced under the name "BMW M4").
According to the Internet Game Cars Database (IGCD for short), the BMW M3 E92 shown here is from 2007. What's more, according to RedBook, AKA the go-to website for research into vehicles sold in Australia, the base version of the BMW M3 E92 was officially sold in Australia from 2007 to 2013. Therefore, here's information about the 2007 BMW M3 E92 (base model) in Australia (courtesy of RedBook):

![Tourist Trophy [PCSX2] - Time Trial Replay (BMW Motorrad R1200ST 05)
Produced from 2005 to 2007, the BMW R 1200 ST succeeded the BMW R 1150 RS (which in turn was produced from 2001 to 2005). This sport touring motorcycle (which used the same 1,170 cc, 2-cylinder, 8-valve boxer, air/oil cooled engine that drove the contemporary BMW R 1200 RT) would eventually be succeeded by the BMW R 1200 RS (which was produced from 2015 to 2018).
According to RedBook (AKA the go-to website for research into vehicles sold in Australia), the BMW R 1200 ST was officially available in Australia from 2005 to 2008. Whats more, this game lists the bike featured here as a 2005 model. Therefore, with all that being said, heres information about the 2005 BMW R 1200 ST in Australia:

![Dragon Ball FighterZ - Hyperbolic Time Chamber Course (Random) [Goku/Goku (SSGSS)/Goku (SS4 DAIMA)]
Three different GOKUs, three different eras.
Now that Super Saiyan 4 Goku from Dragon Ball DAIMA is here, its time for me to get back into Dragon Ball FighterZ once more. (And yes, thats yet another Goku variant to add to a game which already has a multitude of Goku variants to choose from. Also, since Dragon Ball DAIMA canonically takes place between the end of Dragon Ball Z and the start of Dragon Ball Super, one can say that Super Saiyan 4 is finally made canon.) In all honesty, Im still getting used to all of the new mechanics (such as super move and super dash cancels) which I clearly missed out on a long time ago, so... Yeah. That said, I cant believe it took me until now to realize that the teams frontline fighter can be swapped around before a match by holding down one of the two Assist buttons during the versus screen.
Alright, lets see how far I can go with this Goku-only team. (Also, maybe its just me, but for some reason, I wasnt the biggest fan of Son Goku for the longest time. However, starting from this game, Ive gradually grown to appreciate this food-loving fighter to the extent that I now respect him immensely as one of the prototypical anime/manga protagonists of all time.) By the way, given that the characters lip flaps in this 3v3 fighting game from 2018 dont sync with the English voice lines on occasion, its clear that this title was made with Japanese voices in mind.

![Tekken 8 - Super Ghost Battle Replay & Tips (Nina [CPU] vs. Reina [P2]) [1 June 2026]
Its a battle between old and new as Reina Mishima (yes, thats her official name now) faces off against a character who has been playable in every mainline Tekken game since the very first one from 1994.

![Street Fighter 6 - Ranked Match Replays (Yasmine vs. Chun-Li) [8 August 2026]
In all honesty, Yasmine initially didnt strike me as the kind of character who Id consider playing as. (Then again, Im pretty sure Ive said the same thing for certain other DLC characters in this game.) However, after trying her out for a bit, I can safely say that I like her overall (especially since shes the first Filipino Street Fighter character in series history).
So yeah, it turns out that trying to complete all ten of every single characters online rank placement matches isnt an easy affair (especially since I find some characters to be harder to use as opposed to certain other characters).

![RIDE 4 - Time Trial Replay [Kawasaki ZRX1200 R] (2006)
Introduced in 2001, the Kawasaki ZRX1200R was made to compete with the likes of the Yamaha XJR1300 and the Honda CB1300 in the so-called muscle bike sector. Production of this heavyweight standard bike with a liquid-cooled 1,164 cc inline-four engine ended in 2005 for the US, in 2007 for Europe and in 2017 for Japan.
According to RedBook (AKA the go-to website for research into vehicles sold in Australia), the Kawasaki ZRX 1200R was officially available in Australia from 2001 to 2009. Whats more, this game lists the bike featured here as a 2006 model. Therefore, in light of all this, heres information about the 2006 Kawasaki ZRX 1200R in Australia:

![Street Fighter 6 - Ranked Match Replay [Ingrid vs. Ingrid] (29 May 2026)
If you ask me, Ingrids combo potential in this game is super crazy. (And here I thought she was Capcoms answer to Athena Asamiya.) So yeah, lets see how this mirror match plays out as I start on the Player 2 side.

![Tekken 8 - CPU vs CPU (Kunimitsu vs. Reina)
[For some reason, the audio in this video becomes desynced early on. I dont know if its due to an oversight on my part during the editing process or the fault of the recording software itself, but one things for certain: I should probably consider double-checking before uploading anything onto this social media platform every once in a while.]
The third season of this game may have officially started a while ago by this point, but now that Kunimitsu II (and not the original Kunimitsu) is here... Is it just me, or do I get the feeling that we learn something new about Reina every time a new character drops? (At this rate, I wouldnt be surprised if Reina becomes the new poster character for the Tekken franchise moving forward, if only for a little bit, just like how Marie Rose was the new face of the Dead or Alive franchise, at least for a while.) Also, thanks to Kunimitsus info for this game (of all things), Reinas surname being Mishima is now official (though in saying that, she uses the surname Yaotome while attending Mishima Polytechnical School, most likely as a means to hide her true identity from potential assassins and whatnot).
So yeah, its been too long since I last touched upon this game... By the way, if youre wondering Im showcasing a CPU vs. CPU match this time around, lets just say that I want to familiarize myself with Kunimitsus move set as much as possible before trying her out firsthand.

![[MODDED(!?) Tekken 7] Zafina vs. Momiji!?
Remember when Tekken vs. Dead or Alive was a big deal back in the days of the PlayStation 2 and Xbox? I mean, theres Virtua Fighter (plus a whole bunch of other 3D fighting games which failed to take off in the long run), but if you ask me, both Tekken and Dead or Alive are polar opposites in more than a few aspects.
On a side note, this game has no CPU Versus mode (wherein two CPU opponents can face off against each other) by default. However, thanks to a certain Cheat Engine mod, that CPU Versus mode can become a thing somewhat (though in saying that, the CPU players follow a set pattern of attacks every time, so depending on certain stage layouts, certain characters can and will win against certain matchups every time). Whats more, Ive added in a mod that removes any blemishes on the character during matches. (For those who dont know, both Tekken 7 and Tekken 8 dont include the option to disable any dirt, sweat and/or other blemishes on characters during matches by default.)
So yeah, in addition to Momiji from the Ninja Gaiden/Dead or Alive series replacing one of Asukas preset outfits here (plus her voice lines), Zafina here receives some new battle lines courtesy of Tekken 8.
By the way, I wont be posting direct links to the mods in question here as I might risk facing legal trouble and whatnot (though Ill say that said mods in question can be found through the TekkenMods website).
