As the power of the games grows, they are colonizing more and more of our lives. Now online games are approaching the final frontier: sex. In the world of online sex games, everyone is a sexual super-hero. From virtual money and virtual power to the search for virtual fame – the world of online games is like no place on earth. Gamer Revolution takes the pulse of this global phenomenon right now, as it is happening. It is a thought-provoking, powerful progress report from the frontlines of the digital transformation and shows how computer games are changing the world.

[SBS/10:20pm] Aussie Onslaught: 25 Years Of Le Tour – An in-depth look at the past 25 years of Australian cyclists on the Tour de France. The competitive nature of Australians on the sporting arena is legendary, and the roads of the Tour de France are no exception. Australian pro-cyclists have dominated the roads of Europe in this traditional sport, dating back over 100 years. Robbie McEwen, Stuart O’Grady, and Cadel Evans are Australians who have become household names in Europe, while Phil Anderson is regarded as a modern-day pioneer, after leading the Aussie invasion with his first Tour de France appearance in the early 1980s. There was a time when being selected to compete in the Tour de France was an achievement in itself. Now, the expectations are much higher. Stage victories are common, and many predict it will only be a matter of time before an Australian steps onto the top of the winner’s podium in Paris, as the conqueror of the world’s biggest cycle race.

  1. How can anyone take Ian Thorpe seriously?

    The guy is so stage managed these days that you can’t tell whether he’s sincere about environmental issues or that his ‘minders’ have told him this is a good issue to hook up on!

    He’s a try hard with no personality!
