 In the absence of Pellizotti2, who's enjoying beach life in Oman, I'm taking a break from tweeting various chicken news and give you the latest news of PCM and PCM.daily.
2014 Roster Update released
As promised in last week's Weekly News, we have something lined up for those of you who can't wait to get started with next year's season: a 2014 Roster Update for PCM.daily's Expansion Pack.
Needless to say, riders are still being hired and fired each day, so by tomorrow it's already outdated. But if that doesn't stop you from starting career or perhaps just a Tour de France with the new Trek team, be my guest and download the update.
It's voting time - what's your Story of the Month?
As per (recent) tradition, you now have the chance to honour the best stories of the month. October's poll just opened with no less than five nominations: Ian Boswell by welker3257, Nordic Cycling by Atlantius, NRS 2014 by tsmoha, Qatar Optics 2020 by The Rider and Team Type 1 - Achieving the Dream by sutty68.
In the subcategory, honouring the newly started stories, you'll find three candidates in form of baia, Pellizotti2 and TheManxMissile.
So if you've enjoyed any of these stories, now is the time to show them some love and vote. Check this thread for more info.
New cool sound for PCM
Sometimes the most simple ideas are the best. This is also the case here which is why I simply have to mention it even though it's just a simple sound file.
PCM.daily admin Rin thought of something to make the podium scenes in PCM just a little bit cooler - so he replaced the standard and rather boring clapping sound with the music (and clapping) from the Tour de France podium ceremony.
I'm not saying you'll want to watch every podium in PCM from here on, but it does add a little twist to it.
Turn back time ... to 1961
Not ready for 2014 yet? No problem. There are plenty of alternatives, including Stylus' 1961 database which is slowly progressing towards the final release.
In fact, it's now so close that Stylus has released a demo which makes it possible for you to play with all the legends of the time, for example Jacques Anquetil, Charly Gaul, Federico Bahamontes and André Darrigade - just to mention a few.
So what are you waiting for - go ahead and get it, and don't forget to give some feedback to Stylus. |
