RaceWard Studio announces TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 3, an upcoming new installment in this motorcycle racing simulation. This is expected to pop a wheelie and peel out on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch in May 2023. A Teaser Trailer is here to get everyone revved up about this. Here's more on this (presumably) safe way to experience "the most dangerous motorbike race in the world":

The TT Isle of Man takes place on a 60km (37 miles) circuit where riders and their overpowered bikes take incredible risks to try and win the ultimate prize: being crowned champion of the TT Isle of Man. TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 3 includes the official content of the 2022 TT (teams, bikes and courses) and offers a unique and authentic experience. Thanks to the power of the KT Engine and the team's extensive experience (already put to good use in RiMS Racing), RaceWard Studio recreates all the tension and passion of the iconic race. The realism of the TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge series is such that multiple professional riders trained on the previous game to prepare for the official race!

TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 3 features 32 different circuits, including current and historical courses, nearly 40 Superbike and Supersport motorbikes and riders, and upgraded physics. Controlling cornering and braking requires more precision than ever, and motorcycle upgrades gives players the tools they need to achieve maximum performance.

We had a fine old time with our quiet Thanksgiving celebration. The turkey and fixings came out great. MrsBlue was disappointed with the aesthetics of our potatoes, but they were fine too. I did suffer a fail along the way, as I never managed to pick up a pumpkin pie, so one tradition went unfulfilled. I think I'll try to make up for it by searching for pies that are on sale now that turkey day is over. That makes today Black Friday, but you probably don't need any reminders about that. The good news is this annual celebration of consumerism has become a mostly online event. Nobody ever got trampled to death over the internet. Though I'm sure there's someone somewhere working on making that happen.

Blackened Round-up
Thanks Ant and Neutronbeam.
