    Nintendo Announces the NES Classic Edition Launching in November

    Meh, Nintendo is just now getting in the retro micro console market. Third parties have been making official and unofficial clones/emulation machines for over a decade. At this point and from what it looks like Nintendo is offering here, their attempt seems to only appeal to collectors and maybe...

    Ghostbusters reviews are...positive!

    So in the end, a majority of the (non-sexist) flack the movie received came from the fact that whoever edited the trailers has no business advertising feature films? Makes sense, considering how much executive meddling and creator backlash against said meddling I hear happens in Hollywood these...

    Just Cause 3 Multiplayer Mod Cancelled as Avalanche Studios Hires Lead Dev

    Well, this is a much better story than hearing a game company is sending cease & desist letters and threatening legal action to a team of fans just trying to make a game better. It kinda sucks for both fans hoping for this mod to be finished and the other modders who haven't gotten the spotlight...

    Selling Computer Duster to an Abuser at a Retail Store

    All the advice I can offer here is see if your boss can get the store to stock the air dusters with bitterant additives. Maybe your current stock of dusters already has that kind of formula and your favorite customer can just power through it like it's barely there. It's worth asking about if...

    G4/Tech Tv: Revival/Reincarnation Possible?

    Ah, G4. I was interested in checking it out back in the pre-streaming-video days of the internet, but as soon as I got it in my area, people were already saying it lost its magic. I pretty much stuck with reading magazines and websites. I kinda of have to disagree with OP here. A TV channel...

    Bleach is coming to an end

    From this post and a few others, this arc sure sounds like a train was derailed, repaired, and wrecked again multiple times. I just might check out the full arc both for the few interesting things and the morbid curiosity everyone here is mentioning. Note: the following comes from someone who...

    Girl playing Pok?mon Go discovers dead body

    Did she check the corpse for any useful items? That's the usual RPG tactic. *Is reminded that Pokemon is not that kind of RPG series.* I guess something like this would happen eventually. At least it happened to a college age girl and not a little kid.

    The biggest expense you paid for the smallest item

    Physically smallest? While I try to think of something with a very small volume, there are some expensive items I routinely buy that have very little mass for the price, about US$0.40 per gram/$11 per ounce. The joke is I'm talking about game discs in DVD cases.

    Bleach is coming to an end

    Has it really taken four years to finish the final arc? Imagine the hyper-shitty filler if the anime wasn't put out of its misery around the same time. (The Bount and Captain Amagi filler arcs were decent (for filler) but everything afterwords went downhill fast. Muramasa and his zanpakto...

    Why Do We Keep E3 Around, Anyway?

    E3 really has become mostly redundant to today's super fast internet (and I mean both the bandwidth and how word spreads so quickly today). Those demos can be sent to game publications for review, and if the pub/dev wanted someone there with the previewer to answer questions, a skype call can be...

    You Can Now Buy the Blood of Richard Garriott on Ebay

    I'd rather see that, too. He should still have money to fund a new game even after becoming one of the first space tourists. Some of these game publicity stunts are getting way out of hand. You'd think the ruler of Britania could come up with a better trick, like pulling someone from another...

    What games did you play in school?

    OG Math Blaster and Number Munchers represent. Geez, my (US) elementary school had dot matrix printers. That is about as much as I can remember from about 2 decades ago. I do remember one kid brought his Game Gear on a few rainy days, and, yes, he was tethered to an outlet the whole time. (I may...

    So, about Football Manager Touch 2016 on Steam...

    Is that the edition with all of the DLC included? /s I know there is a popular train sim on Steam that has thousands of dollars in DLC for sale.

    PlayStation Vita Gets a Twitch App

    It's pretty late for this, but better late than never. I've never used Twitch, but I'd say it is pretty big. Youtube apparently thought Twitch was enough of a threat to their numbers to try to buy it and, failing that, make Youtube Gaming.

    Chris Evans Has Already Quit Top Gear

    And Top Gear fans 'round the world sung praises and held great feasts in celebration. Maybe now they can rearrange the format for the second season to what fans have been asking for. After all of the other accusations and bad press, that's probably the straw that broke the camel's back. I just...
