Zes Kaapverdische spelers op het WK komen uit Rotterdam. Ze kennen elkaar „sinds klein”: uit Spangen en van de voetbalpleintjes, naast het stadion van Sparta bijvoorbeeld. „We voelen ons de uitverkorenen.”

Rockstar Games has revealed the price of Grand Theft Auto VI to be $79.99, and confirmed that the physical versions of the game won't include a disc. Instead, they'll contain a one-time download code when it launches November 19. "Not only is that a disappointing decision for people who like to own physical games, but given the scale of the next GTA, it also sets a bad precedent for the rest of the industry," reports The Verge. From the report: There are a lot of advantages to buying digital. You can start a download from your couch. You can store multiple games on one hard drive so you don't have to get up to play something else. Storefronts like Steam or the PlayStation Store don't run out of inventory of the newest game you're interested in, and you can often get games at a cheaper price thanks to frequent sales.

But it's becoming increasingly clear that digital ownership has significant disadvantages, too. If a game you don't own digitally is removed from a storefront, whether that's for things like licensing, artificially limited availability, or even the store eventually closing down, your only option is to hope you can find a physical version. If your account on a platform is banned, even if that ban isn't warranted, you might be locked out of your digital library with no way to play those games unless you buy them again or hope your account gets restored. You can't sell or trade digital games you've purchased, and while there are ways to share digital games, they require some work and are usually intended just for families.

It's also much harder to preserve digital games because they only "exist" on the hard drive of a console, PC, or device they were downloaded to. This is an issue across many industries, not just console games; there are multiple examples of things like mobile games and streaming shows becoming lost for good when they don't have a physical version. Without physical versions, you also can't find a used version of a game at a garage sale or a local game shop. It's unclear whether Rockstar will ever release a physical version of the game. As for why, The Verge suspects the decision was made in part to prevent leaks; "by only being available digitally, Rockstar can ensure that GTA VI unlocks at the same exact time for everyone."

"The digital-only choice might also indicate that the game has a massive file size that's too big for PlayStation and Xbox game discs."

As a child of the 70s, I’m slightly baffled that the John Denver classic Take Me Home Country Roads has become the unofficial theme song of this World Cup. I’m guessing very few of the people singing along have been to “the place I belong, West Virginia.”

It’s beautiful, though.

CARACAS (ANP) - Een aardbeving met een kracht van 7,1 heeft woensdagmiddag plaatsgevonden voor de kust van Venezuela, meldt de Amerikaanse geologische dienst USGS. De beving was op een diepte van 13 kilometer, aldus de USGS.

In de Venezolaanse hoofdstad Caracas werden trillingen gevoeld. Bewoners haastten zich naar buiten toen de beving gebouwen deed schudden. Een getuige vertelde aan persbureau Reuters dat er scheuren in de gevel van een gebouw ontstonden.

Het Amerikaanse waarschuwingssysteem voor tsunami's gaf na de aardbeving een waarschuwing uit voor Puerto Rico en de Maagdeneilanden. Ook Aruba, Curaçao en Bonaire kunnen worden getroffen door gevaarlijke golven.

De beving, die werd gevolgd door verscheidene naschokken, was ook in Colombia voelbaar.
