Road Rash designer is debating a kickstarter revivalIf you are a retro Sega fan in the slightest, then you will definitely remember the awesome Road Rash series. These games were Twisted Metal before Twisted Metal. For those new to this franchise it was a simple premise: race your motorcycle to the finish line and take home first place no matter the consequences. Take down your opponents with clubs, chains, and nunchakus while avoiding the police and oncoming traffic. This was the simple joy that compiled Road Rash. Dan Geisler designed the first 3 Road Rash games on for the Sega Genesis, and recently replied to a fan request on Reddit, who asked why the franchise has been dormant for so long. http://sega-addicts.murnaumusic.com/?p=36825

An Yanshi, 41(ABOVE) has came up with the worlds most expensive tea, However, It's not just the extortionate price tag of the world's most expensive tea that might leave a bitter taste.The Chinese entrepreneur has revealed that panda poo is the key ingredient to a new luxury brew. An Yanshi bought 11 tons of excrement from a panda breeding centre in Sichuan province in south-west China. He then uses it to grow tea leaves that costs a staggering £22,000 per pound. The same amount of Tetley tea leaves would costs around £3. He is now hoping to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records for developing the most expensive tea. I'm sure it has to taste better than this
