Some money got laundered.  

There’s something truly wonderful about Sega’s older sound chips. They’re SO...CHUNKY. Always loved it when that bass kicks in. Thanks for sharing this, Mike!

It’s not so much about him as it is about a pattern of corporate behavior that suggests those who have real power within Acti/Blizz prefer a climate of fascism and authoritarianism. Hence, collecting a group of nefarious individuals (i.e. a former torture apologist being responsible for ‘compliance’ seems dubious)…

Video games have gone through a few boom and bust cycles - starting off with hobbyists and enthusiasts who drive innovation, becoming more popular and therefor profitable, being taken over by corporate interests, then suffering some major setback which causes the corporations to seek profit elsewhere and leave the…

A couple notes that I think this article really should have brought up:

A feeling? You do realize that someone buying a digital only console will only buy from Sony for the entire generation, and maybe to Sony that’s more valuable than $50 upfront?

PS5 release date: November 9th

take it from me who’s knee deep in her first yakuza 0 playthrough: yakuza is an amazing series and like a dragon will be good for new players to start with.

The VG24/7 article states the following:

“Reports indicate it’s a 4-teraflop machine that uses the same CPU as in Series X, paired with a less powerful GPU and less RAM. It’s said to be designed for 1080p and 1440p gaming, whereas Series X can deliver 4K.”

So, yeah, basically somewhere between a One S and a One X. This…

Sort of? I’m actually thinking this is a cut down version of the upcoming Series X. I fully expect this thing actually be more powerful than the current top-of-the-line Xbox One X. It just won’t have an optical drive, maybe less onboard storage(counter-productive really), probably marketed more for gamers not ready…

The problem is that Apple could be argued to be in serious violation of antitrust laws. Remember how Microsoft got judgments against it for improperly tying the Internet Explorer browser into the Microsoft Windows operating system?

I’ll manage since I have gamepass, so when The Medium launches I won’t have to pay for it and so far most of the announced games will come to gamepass.

Yeah, I agree. I think it’s the undercut thing. MS is afraid of Sony pulling what they did against the Saturn and announcing a lower price than MS the next day.

Loot based adventure usually means boring.

Because some people bought both games, and this way, they’ll buy both expansion passes, too. But I do think they should provide refunds for mistaken purchases.

Apparently, it’s not. The Famitsu article, from what I’ve been hearing, is about a new technology Sega’s developing called “Fog Gaming,” which is going to be tested in their arcade titles in Japan. Apparently it’s got ultra-low latency and will allow players to play arcade games at home even after business hours are…

What is this, a console for ANTS?!

Just release a Game Gear Complete. It’ll be the same size as the original, look identical, but with a better screen, better battery, and a harddrive with as many games as they can fit onto it.

As always, it’s opposite day with the reactionary right.

The bigger thing about TIE Fighter is that it showed you The Empire. Not the empire, not the cackling mad power-hungry evil dudes, but a bureaucracy in motion, that... does what it does because it has to keep the universe spinning.
