Do you really think retro games, often punishingly hard, only playable on a TV, have any legs with the mainstream casual gaming community? By July, you'll be able to walk into any used game store and buy it for a fraction of the original price.

It could be that they either produce a LOT or none.

Does QI stream anywhere? I've only watched bootlegs on Youtube.

And then they fell into a supermassive black hole!

Not to defend the guy, but that first tweeted photo is, to use the parlance of the time, "fake news."

I AM HUMAN
AND I NEED TO BE LOVED

And now the SJWs tell us we can't save/make love to beautiful Indian women in our video games. What has the world come to?

Someone get this man a three picture contract with Warner Brothers!
