Mike Tomlin gets roasted by former Super Bowl MVP, former Steelers star and others for Minecraft City

Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has been building an intricately designed Minecraft City since 2014, which he began during a challenging period for the Steelers, who did not secure a playoff victory in his last nine seasons. This hobby has drawn amusement and skepticism from the NFL community, with former players like Le'Veon Bell and Julian Edelman making lighthearted comments about it. Tomlin's motivation for the project was to connect with his children, and he finds the creative process therapeutic. Despite no longer coaching the Steelers, the topic continues to be referenced humorously in relation to his coaching legacy.

Xbox releases four original console games on PC thanks to Backwards Compatibility, but they chose the wrong ones

Microsoft is reintroducing first-generation Xbox titles to PC through its Backwards Compatibility initiative, allowing access via Game Pass. The initial lineup includes four titles: Fuzion Frenzy, BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, and Conker: Live & Reloaded. The selection has received mixed reactions, with concerns about the lack of appeal and the absence of achievements at launch. Players have suggested that other titles, such as Genma Onimusha, The Simpsons: Hit and Run, Unreal Championship, OutRun 2, Jade Empire, and the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series, could have been more attractive options. Additionally, the upcoming release of Halo: Campaign Evolved could have benefited from the simultaneous launch of Halo: Combat Evolved to boost subscriptions.
