I was going to see The Hu earlier this year but, a week prior to their Australian tour, COVID hit pandemic level and the whole thing got canceled. Downloads are pretty much dead these days. It's pretty much been supplanted by streaming for casual listening and the collectors will always want somethi...

Should give Disgaea a go sometime. If you like SRPG's and wasting LOADS of time obsessing over stats and grinding, its for you. Its story's tend to be all over the place Yeah, if you don't like Shin Megami Tensei on account of it being a bit whacked out and grindy, Disgaea probably isn't for you ei...

Congrats!

Your go.

Hence why "Life" is put in quotes. When people think of such a thing they instantly think humanoid, it would have to be something very different to survive on that planet It's not even confirmed to be life yet though, just a very basic chemical that could potentially have been created by bacteria s...

I'd think a price cut is unlikely given that the One S is already effectively being sold at a loss. The cost of the individual components used in it are all about the same or slightly higher than their equivalents in the Series S, plus you've got the optical drive on top, so they are unlikely to coe...

The Xbox One S ADE was a massive failure. Consistently outsold by the regular One S. Probably because they were weirdly priced exactly the same in most retailers. PS5 Digital could well be the "cat amongst the pigeons" for MS and their Series S plans. Aside from lacking the UHD blu ray drive, it is...

Naah, don't get misled by the headline. They've just found traces of a chemical that's only produced on Earth by biological pathways, so it's a bit of a mystery as to why it's present on Venus. With it having a very different atmosphere and surface conditions to the Earth, there will be plenty of di...

Another option is the RGB Pi, which just slots onto the GPIO header: https://www.rgb-pi.com/ That said, the composite output from the Pi isn't too bad. It's much cleaner than what you'd get from an old console, so maybe just plug it in and see what you get before investing in anything more expensive.

You missed out the One OG with/without Kinect and the different hard drive capacities that'll bring the total number of retail configurations of the Xbox One up to nine. That's actually an improvement over the thirteen they managed over the lifetime of the 360. Thats because they realised nobody ga...

Its now going to technically be 7 Bloody 8 if the series V is a thing They have the other ones Xbox One OG, Xbox one S, Xbox one elite, Xbox one S digital, Xbox one X You missed out the One OG with/without Kinect and the different hard drive capacities that'll bring the total number of retail confi...

Microsoft managed to survive having two consoles called the One S - including one without a drive - on the market, without too much blowback, so it'll at least be less confusing than that. Also, GamePass is such a good deal that I can see a lot of non-collectors just not buying games at all going fo...

Confirmed that the Series S back compat mode is functionally identical to the One S back compat. So now 4k upscale, etc like on the One X. Also, I wonder, due to the slightly clunky and confusing to "non gamers" naming system, how many kids will wake up on Xmas day to a One S, not a Series S? There...

The most limited release they did (which I thankfully have) would have been Zelda 4-Swords Anniversary Edition for the Zelda series 25th anniversary - it was only available for a couple of months on the DSi and has never been available since to my knowledge The downside is nobody else I know ever g...

I'm not going to defend Nintendo's tactics at all. They've been rightly called out for them and the more people about how they operate the better. Still, they managed to sell even more copies of Animal Crossing without making that a limited release and most of the other big games for the year are ye...

And it's already the second biggest selling game of the year just on the pre-orders: https://www.ign.com/articles/super-mario-3d-all-stars-is-already-amazons-second-best-selling-game-of-2020 I'd be rather hoping that the takeaway for Nintendo is that lots of people will jump on a value compilation o...
