The replica package looks alright, but I’d rather pay $90 for a working NES cart than $50 for a fake one and a download code.

On one hand, it’s nice that this is finally coming out. Pretty sure the release gap between the first Rebuild movie and this one is actually longer than the gap between the premiere of the original series and the release of the first Rebuild movie.

It’s only two episodes in so far, so it’s a bit hard to say where exactly it’s going, but while the first episode is a fairly faithful take on the first part of the first arc, the second episode starts by making it abundantly clear that this is not going to go down the same way it did last time.

Sorry, but to me “Wannabe Professor X mentally disables his manservant via telepathic time travel” was pretty emblematic of how far downhill the quality of the series had gone; I know it was supposed to be a serious scene but I couldn’t help but laugh at how audacious it was. If Martin’s keeping the same general plot…

This just hit early access a couple of months ago, and people who paid then still found it too similar to the much-maligned Frontiers betas. I can’t imagine anything close to a full overhaul has been done since. Guessing someone at Perfect World got fed up with the development costs and wanted to recoup as much as…

Honestly I don’t think this is much of a surprise to anyone who’s preordered a console from Amazon in the past, beyond the fact that they’re actually giving courtesy warnings this time.

I think my favorites come from Rare (now also a Microsoft studio) and their work on Donkey Kong 64.

The good news: this might kill Bethesda’s bad and forced Bethesda.net signin/launcher.

As much as I love Tom Petty, I’m not really getting my hopes up about this release. I think almost everyone who’s listened to the entirety of Wildflowers will agree that it’s a good album, and I think that part of that was that it was pared down to just the best tracks. A handful of other good ones got recycled into…

Ah yes, the EA Desktop App. The official Desktop App of the Washington Football Team.

Usually the case itself has a battery built in - when you put the buds back in the case, they’ll start charging, even if the case isn’t hooked up to a charger. It looks like TCL might be claiming 6 or 7 extra charges from the case battery (3.5 hours of earbud battery x 6.5 charges from the case is roughly 23 hours).

Meanwhile, anyone who pays for one of Spectrum’s streaming TV packages like its TV Choice plan will also see their bill increase, though the increase isn’t quite as large: the surcharge is going from $6 to $8.95 per month.

Sure, it sounds good now, but wait until people start interviewing Applegate again and she reveals that classically the andalites just shit everywhere and then whisked it away into z-space.

Valve has spent most of the decade investing in cross-OS play and VR tech, while adding some common-sense features to their client (cloud saves, controller compatibility layers, a TV-friendly interface, and remote network connections, to name a few). And while I can’t fault Epic’s exclusivity program (an up-front…

This is largely why I assumed the leaks earlier in the week were legit - no article here repeating them, meaning someone was worried about violating the NDA.

I vaguely remember reading the first couple books when they came out and thinking they weren’t that bad, so this feels like a bit of a shame. But considering Eoin Colfer did that awful Hitchhiker’s Guide book, it feels a bit more like poetic justice.

10 megabits (Mb) is equal to 10/8 megabytes (MB), or 1.25 megabytes. We’ll be charitable here and assume that we’re actually maxing out at 10Mb, and that a 50GB file is only 50,000 MB (because semantics about megabytes and mebibytes are dumb).

...how would a VPN ‘hide your IP’ from your ISP? You know, those guys that give you that IP address in the first place?

For what it’s worth, the YouTube uploads for Monster are unofficial and could be taken down at any time; for whatever reason, Viz seems to have dropped the license for the anime despite continuing to publish reprints of the manga. There’s no longer any legal way to rent or stream it in the US, and as far as I know…

I’m very interested in seeing how this performs in terms of heat and power. On paper, the specs would be a modest upgrade from my MSI GP63 (8750H/ GTX 1060), which gets 4+hours of regular use on the iGPU and still has heating issues with heavy gaming, despite the bigass heatsink running along most of the body and the…
