  1. Gyro for aiming like in Starfox 64 3D or just about any mobile FPS is nice to have, and many younger gamers are probably used to it. If Fortnite does it, I would expect all Bethesda games to do it as well. Here's an explainer: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/07/guide_fortnite_-_how_to_use_gyro_motion_controls_on_nintendo_switch
  2. Potential silver lining: since they track and photograph everyone who walks in their many stores, they could be a useful cog in the epidemiological tracking of coronavirus. Their financials are very grim. The one near my house used to be a Mattress Warehouse and I hope something cooler than THAT moves in when GS is gone.
  3. Well do ya want to play Jungles of Chlamydia on the VCS or not? Support the developers!
  4. Yeah, "essential" to their bottom line, maybe. I sure hope their pawn shop business takes care to sanitize trade-ins. This is the biggest stretch imaginable: I guess XBOX could be considered a "distance learning" tool, but this statement deserves 4 Pinocchios. Shame on them. They used to sell productivity software. I bought my first computer modem at Electronics Boutique (forerunner of GameStop) but that was almost 30 years ago.
  5. Remember how Steve Jobs talked about how he wanted to make products that would surprise and delight their customers? Atari is halfway there with the first part. But not in a good way.
  6. You guys are so much better at math than the person who wrote this scene (doctored with music and footage from a movie)
  7. I agree that seems likely, because they made a big deal about how Unity3D was all a developer should need to get on VCS. Their latest update had lots of pictures of flawed VCS cases which they won't use, OK fair enough. It at the end, they talk about all the conferences that will be cancelled, so the next sneak peeks at their machine will need to be online. If that's the case, why don't they show more of the thing themselves? They don't need a public, in-person show and they never did. Only posting very carefully edited short clips with no direct feed makes it seem like they don't have much to offer, even after this time. What they aren't saying is speaking louder than words.
  8. RG350 seems like a really good one. OdroidGo Advance is available but only at scalper prices. One of the nice things about these handhelds is how they're cheap -- or at least they should be.
  9. Watch out, apparently I've got some kind of mental illness or social disease, and you don't want to catch that! Thank goodness for armchair psychologists, and welcome to the tribe.
  10. Would it cover the kinds of clashes in "management style" that Feargal referenced in his resignation letter to Fred? Us gossip girls would love for you to spill the tea on that if you have any.
  11. I like the collections. I've bought more than a few Arcade Archives standalones, though. What is there to say about them? They're old, they're fun, they're well emulated. @Magmavision2000 if you want to read more about this kind of thing, Shaun Musgrave is the guy to follow. He writes about these kinds of things on Touch Arcade and his blog, Post Game Content regularly, and even more if you give a buck to his Patreon. He's one of the smartest game writers working today, in my opinion. https://twitter.com/ShaunMusgrave
  12. This one is train-related! Choo-choo!! 🚆
  13. Thanks for the reminder -- literally 2 days!!! https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/doom-64-switch/ We already have Turok Dino Hunter on Switch, which was also an N64 game. I keep thinking, wouldn't it be nice to have more N64 games on Switch, forgetting that these are not straight ports from ye olde console version.
  14. "PONG is in our DNA." I feel like most of their talking points could be handled by a bot at this point.
  15. I wonder if I should get some of my old unloved retro game consoles ready for eBay since I have some downtime at home. Do you think USPS drop-off will stay open for the foreseeable future? And will stay-at-homes be interested in getting 3DO or JVC X'Eye machines if they aren't receiving paychecks?

      This is the perfect time for lightening up even more. Still sticking with PCs and TRS-80 Pocket Computers as the mainstay of my hobby.

       

  16. You're already nuts with a cherry on top!
  17. I find the Vectrex emulator on iPad to be "close enough" for me, especially on a nice screen. Gameclub.io includes it in the subscription if you didn't buy it the first time out. I had a real live boy Vectrex and actually prefer the emulator. Sue me.
  18. Grand Mountain Adventure is a sweet sweet game. https://www.toppluva.com/GrandMountainAdventure/

      Looks cool.  Wish there was a realistic chance I would play a mobile game.  I just don't seem to grab the phone for that.

  19. Check it again -- market cap was €41M and share price was €0.18 last I looked. What a bargain.
  20. Chipotle, which has 2600 locations nationwide, is offering takeout and delivery in response to the virus crisis. Burritos are life.

      I find it amusing that my current PC is powered by a "Ryzen 2600" CPU and my PS4 has a "Jaguar" CPU

      Our Chipotle up here is outclassed by a Q-Doba less than 2 blocks away...On a side note our restaurant may just do delivery and take out, too...As a driver,  I'll still be working if this comes to pass,  which is probably a good thing.

      I don't like Chipotle.  I know where there's a QDoba, but haven't tried it.  If you have a Freebirds World Burrito around, I definitely recommend it.

  21. It was on Indiegogo, and they probably sent out emails to register via BackerKit to help them with logistics. It is late, overpromised, and underdelivered. Not finished but maybe (???) kinda close. It's hard to tell. You could probably get your money back if you raised a big enough stink, maybe if you started with your credit card you used to make the purchase way back when. It's hard to see how it ends up doing anything but disappointing you. Beware of big talkers who promise a lot but haven't yet delivered anything except for easily-produced printed shirts and swag. It doesn't matter how cute the case looks in the renders, or how much you want to believe the smooth-talking sales guy.
