There’s a common phrase that goes on in the tech world, ‘but can it run DOOM?’, which has become synonymous with trying to run the classic, but still popular original 1993 version of DOOM on the most absurd hardware combinations possible. People have managed to get DOOM running on all sorts of hardware – including […]

KAYLEIGH Trappe got emotional and choked up on air after her performance that left judges on the “edge of their seat”.
The TikTok star and her pro partner Ervinas Merfeldas kicked off the show tonight dancing the Charleston to Lady Gaga’s hit That’s Entertainment.
Judging panel, Brian Redmond, Loraine Barry, Arthur Gourounlian and Karen Byrne were back to give their hard-hitting opinions on the contestants’ dances.
Kayleigh gave it her all on the dance floor and was visibly teary-eyed after the song ended.
Host Jennifer Zamparelli noticed and said: “You seem a bit emotional. Are you okay?”
Kayleigh explained: “Oh, I’m definitely relieved.”
Jennifer asked: “How do you feel?”
Kayleigh replied: “I am buzzing.”
Speaking to the orchestra, she said: “Thank you guys so much. Amazing job. Gorgeous.”
And the judges were also blown away by the “quirky” dance.
Lorraine said: “I think you had us all guessing. Where is this going with this slow, glamorous, dramatic opening? But then it soon changed into this charismatic, fun-filled Charleston.
“But then again, I was on the edge of my seat. I was like, ‘There’s a lift coming. I know there’s a lift coming’. And you absolutely nailed it. Fabulous opening.”
Arthur remarked: “That was most definitely entertaining. And what a way to open orchestra night. I loved it.
“The Charleston character, the signature, it was cheeky, which I like. And full of character. You guys brought it tonight.”
Brian said that Kayleigh brought the “three things needed to make a great Charleston”, which was entertainment, technique and breathtaking lifts.
Brian There are three things we need to make a great Charleston. Arthur mentioned one of them already, entertainment.
Karen added that she was “confused” at the beginning but once the Charleston kicked in, it was “absolutely brilliant”.
Karen “I’m obsessed with this whole look. The beginning when you’re in such a gorgeous ballroom frame, I was like, is she going to bang out a waltz? Are we looking at Charleston or what’s going on? So I was a bit confused.
Speaking to Doireann Garrihy in her den, Kayleigh spoke about why she was so relieved saying: “That was our first, well… we were struggling with a few of the lifts.
“I was wobbly and beforehand I was afraid that nerves might kick in, but you had a good chat with me and we settled a bit.
“My mum’s in the audience and I was looking at her. I really wanted a Charleston and people online all week are like, ‘The Charleston’s a bit of Kayleigh’.
“We niggled this week, but nothing a good rub down can’t solve… from the physio to be clear. It’s mind over matter with that too.
“If you let it get into your head, it’s nearly worse. So I was like, ‘I’m grand, I can go on, I’m grand’.”
And after the pair got glowing reviews from the judges, they received a total score of 32 points.
And RTE viewers at home also loved the performance as well and raced to social media with praise.
One fan commented: “Fab Charleston and perfect song for it.”
Anthony said: “Fan of the charming @ktrappe. Bringing sassy energetic elegance in spades to the @DWTSIRL dance floor. A serious contender for the competition with every new dance…”
Aaron remarked: “Fabulous.”
Another viewer added: “Fab Charleston and perfect song for it.”
THIS is the mad moment a match in Uruguay got out-of-hand over the weekend.
Paysandú Interior faced off against rivals Mercedes in the OFI National Selection Cup.
The home team prevailed in the first leg – beating the current champions 1-0.
But, the game won’t be remembered for Kevin Guinco’s goal halfway through the second half.
With two minutes remaining, tempers flared in the tight contest.
A foul by the visitor’s player Mario Gonzalez led to a melee involving Enzo Echeveste, who charged towards his opponent.
Echeveste grabbed Gonzalez from behind by his neck as Paysandú Interior players surrounded him.
Unperturbed, Gonzalez swung a right hook towards Echeveste – connecting with his chin.
The punch knocked the player out – leaving him motionless on the pitch as the perpetrator walked off.
Unsurprisingly, Gonzalez was shown a red card for the act of violent conduct.
Last month, a similar incident happened on our shores when a frustrated coach hit out at a linesman.
Robert Williams-Jones was managing Amlwch Town FC when he grew frustrated at his team’s 8-0 scoreline.
Just 15 minutes into the match, the 43-year-old was filmed landing a blow on the linesman – leaving him sprawled on the ground.
Footage then showed spectators and staff rushing over to the dugout to help the official, whose age hasn’t been released.
Williams-Jones pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm but avoided a prison term.
The thug was instead handed a 24 week sentence suspended for 12 months at Caernarfon Magistrates’ Court.
DANCING On Ice fans were left completely stunned as a fan favourite became the sixth celebrity to be axed from show.
After a tense skate off, Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean, Oti Mabuse, Ashley Banjo chose to eliminate Mollie Pearce.
Earlier on in the night, both Mollie Pearce and Dan Edgar failed to impress viewers despite receiving high scores for their respective ice-dancing routines.
Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern made the nail biting announcement as all four couples received scores of of over 35 points.
However, both stars recieved the least amount of votes from the public which meant they had to skate once again in a head-to-head duel.
It was down to The Traitors personality and The Only Way Is Essex star Dan Edgar to battle it out on the ice.
Both respective pairings faced stiff competition in the skate off after a series of impressive performances during Musicals Night.
Former footballer former footballer Anton Ferdinand, Corrie actor Sam Aston, and Springwatch presenter Michaela Strachan were sent straight through by the viewers.
After the two tense performances, it was time for the judges to decide to save their favourite competitor to skate in the semi-finals.
The Dancing on Ice judges chose to save Dan for his Oklahoma-inspired musical performance, but the judges were split.
Despite Oti wanting to send Mollie through, it all came down to head judge Jayne Torvill who chose to save Dan.
Now, only four competitors remain to battle it out in the long-running ITV celebrity skating competition.
Next week, Anton Ferdinand, Mollie Pearce, Dan Edgar, Sam Aton and Michaela Strachan will compete for a place in the final.
This comes after actress Chelsee Healey, Ferne McCann, Olympic rower Steve Redgrave were all eliminated.
Love Island’s Chris Taylor was previously forced to skate away and former EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks was axed by the judges last week.
Last year, former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas emerged as the victor after beating Radio 1’s Adele Roberts and Made In Chelsea personality Miles Nazaire.

WHEN it comes to weddings, the old saying goes that the bride is always right.
However, one woman’s list of demands for her big left had been calling her “insufferable”.
A screenshot of the bride’s rules were shared on the Reddit forum Wedding Shaming.
The woman had listed the six requirements she had for her bridesmaids in an Instagram post.
And it was more than simply: “Don’t wear white to my wedding”.
She explained that she would be sharing the list “every day til the wedding”.
For her first requirement, the bride-to-be reminded her friends that it is “not your day” as she warned them: “Do what the bride asks or don’t be in the wedding.”
She again reminded her bridesmaids that it is “not your day” before informing them that they will have no say in their hair or make-up for the day.
“If the bride wants make-up or certain hair for everyone, and you don’t wear make-up – don’t be in the wedding,” she wrote.
“It’s usually the ones who scream ‘I don’t want all that’ who ends up looking less flattering.”
She added that the only way she would be flexible is if people had a “specific haircut” that required different styling such as “locs or a pixie cute”.
The cheeky bride once again pointed out that it was her day, not her friends’ as she told them to “act how you would want your bridal party to act, if it was your day”.
For her next rule, she explained that her bridesmaids would “look jealous when you object to every little thing”.
“Especially things you have not paid for, be grateful or don’t be in the wedding,” she said.
Next, she reminded her bridesmaids that they are on “team bride” and should act accordingly.
“If you wish to act like anything less, switch to team guest,” she told her friends.
“Have a seat and throw rice, preferably uncooked.”
If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble.
Finally, she laid out her expectations for her bridal party when it comes to finances.
“If you can’t afford to be in the wedding, let the bride know up front,” she said.
“Don’t accept and then penny pinch, especially if it’s one year or more out.”
Reddit users shared their thoughts on the bride’s demands in the comments section.
“At least she’s giving everyone a daily chance to join TEAM NOT GOING,” joked one reader.
“I would be on team not going just so I could not get this letter every day, ‘Please unsubscribe me from this list’ would be my dream response,” said another person.
“TEAM NOT EVEN SENDING A GIFT,” commented a third Reddit user.
