I'm not living in America, so forgive me if this sounds a little ignorant as Hulu may be more popular than I think, but if Nintendo was going to have one premium steaming service available on the Switch, why wouldn't it be Netflix or Amazon? I'm sorry, but I find it hard to believe that Hulu is the one you really want to make a deal with?

They released the PS4 and XB1 at the same time of year back in 2013 and I didn't see nor hear any stories like that. Mostly it was idiot fanboys buying consoles just to smash them outside the store because they wanted attention.

June 13nth 12:42 local time.

I'm not surprised to see both Sony and Microsoft being so hesitant to reveal the cost of their respective consoles because pricing a games console is not simple. Obviously, they both want the other to show their hand first to avoid having to announce an unappealing price, but there's more to it than that. Back in the early 90's there was a console that tried to take on the juggernauts that were Sega and Nintendo, the 3DO. The company and the console was the brainchild of Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins. It was a phenomenally powerful games console for its time, way more capable than it's 16Bit rivals, but it failed mostly because of one problem. Ridiculously expensive. There was a good reason for that aside its powerful components. Instead of making the consoles themselves, 3D0 had other established electronics companies manufacture the consoles to agreed specifications and sell them, whilst 3D0 would sell the games. Because of that, these manufacturers had to mark the price up as there was no other way to make money on them other than that initial sale of the console. It's just like if Philips sold you a CD player, they have to make their cut on that sale as somebody else was selling the CD's. You could say the 3DO was more like a what we think of as a modern gaming PC because you buy the device from a 3rd party s a utility where the manufactures of the components need that mark up to make money of these things, then you buy the games from somebody else. That combined with the benefits of mass production is why consoles are so much cheaper than PC's. Back to the point. You can surely see now where first party consoles, especially modern consoles with subscription services and digital goods sales, have an advantage. They make money buy you buying games and services for the system, so can even afford to sell at a loss and still make the manufacturer money. What matters to them is that they get it into your home. Of course, they don't want to make it too cheap either, breaking even or making a small profit on the hardware sale would be nice as well, so it's not an easy thing to balance. I don't ever whoever it is that has to make that call for the Series X or the PS5, just imagine getting that wrong.

Somebody on the Internet has very cleverly used the PS5 disk tray as a kind of datum to compare to other PS consoles, and what this indicates is that the PS 5 is going to be huge, much larger than other PS consoles.

First of, here is the full event itself in case you haven't seen it. Now there's allot to get through, so with no a due, let's begin Things actually start badly with one of the most pointless announcements ever. Grand Theft Auto V will be a launch title for the PS5 and that's FUCKING STUPID!!! That's three generations of console that this game will be released on now. I don't care that PS5 owners will get GTA Online for free when the console launches, nobody buys a next gen console to play a game they were playing two console generations ago. Nobody wanted this and even less of us need it.This is just another attempt by Take Two and Rockstar to create a false tally of this game's sales numbers, like they've been doing for years. Fuck off with this ridiculous nonsense. Gladdy, we quickly move onto something we did want, a sequel to Insomnic's brilliant Spiderman game. Spiderman Miles Morales. It's fair to expect great things from this and I'm sure it won't disappoint and this will sell consoles. Next, and it has been a while for this franchise, Gran Turismo 7. As you would expect, it's epically impressive with its graphics and a real showcase for the PS5 and what it can do. Fans will be glad to see this game back. Another big exclusive PlayStation IP with Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. This will be a fun romp as R and C always is, but this one looks great and I get the feeling this one may be more complex and challenging that the previous game. What do you think? Enough now of stuff we've seen before, time for something new. Project Athia is a new and exclusive IP published by Square Enix for the PS5 and this looks very promising to me. Difficult to tell at this point what this game is really all about, but I like what I see. One to watch. Next, Stray. As far as I can tell, you play as a stray cat in a world populated buy robots instead of humans. Yeah, a bit trippy this one. And the trippy continues with Returnal. Basically a lost astronaut having a groundhog day. Not sure how I feel about this one, I'll need to see more gameplay before I can make my mind up. Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a game that does not need to exist. This needlepointed little turd didn't need his own game when we already have Little Bid Planet. I suppose the line up needed a kid friendly couch co-op game, I get that, but this is not for me. A new Knack would have been better. Ever wanted to play Rocket League, but instead of trying to score goals, it's a Demolition Derby where you smash your opponents up and try to run them over? Exactly! I didn't know I need this in my life either! I think I'm gonna like Destruction Allstars. Kena: Bridge of Spirits looks right up my ally. I think I need to see more gameplay, but I like what I see. I love its art style and atmosphere. It'll need a strong story and solid gameplay to come together, but I hope it can deliver the goods. This next one I'm really struggling to know what to say. I'm saying Goodbye Volcano High will be a rubbish game, but I do think this is a rubbish trailer. I can't tell much of anything about it other that it's a world of sentient dinosaur people and it's set in a high school. Honestly, not hyped. This next one is more exiting, if you're not me. Oddworld Soulstorm. That means two things, we are getting a new Oddworld game and it has a silly name. Never really been a big fan of Oddworld, but I get why others would be hyped. Ghostwire Tokyo. Now THIS looks fucking cool. Next is Jett the Far Shore. Now I admit, this trailer defeats me, I have no idea whats going on. So, all I can suggest is watch it and make your own mind up. Godfall was revealed at another digital Playstation event several months ago. Now, we have actual gameplay to feast our eyes on. Getting a bit of a Warframe crossed with Dark Souls kind of vibe. Looks promising, until you realize it's published by Gearbox. So yeah, take it with bucket of salt. Solar Ash is a pretty game. A unique vibrant, colourful style and interesting character models. Don't know if this will be fun to play though, time will tell. Hitman III. Well, not much more to say, it is what it is. I don't see this one letting the fans down and it looks superb. The next trailer is the new 2K NBA game, so nobody cares. Ketamine, Crystal Meth, Cocaine, Alcohol, Cannabis, Heroine and Speed. Those are just some of the drugs they were on when they came up with Bugsnax. It's confirmed, Demon's Souls Remastered. Some of you may know that I have burning HATRED for this game, but I know that it has its fans who'll be, well, I was about to be pleased but the fanbase of this game is made up of arrogant, miserable pricks who are incapable of love, so who knows. Still, good for them, but I'll be avoiding this one. Strangely, another groundhog day like thing going on here with Deathloop, but the feels very different to Returnal. Very suave, mysterious, brooding style. This kind of reminds m of Dishonoured, and I think it might even be the same studio, so that's a promising sign. Resident Evil VIII: Village. Enough said. This teaser for Pragmata leaves more questions than answers. I suppose that is the point, though. Anyway, an interesting concept, but I'll wait for more info. The game won't be out until 2022, so there's time to learn more. Now the big one, at least for me. At last, they have confirmed the sequel to one of my favourite games, Horizon: Zero Dawn. Sorry if I fanboy out a little here, but Horizon Forbidden West is the reason to own a PS5. The trailer is great too. Looks like Sylens is coming back as a villain, it seems Aloy is going to interact with the environment in a more dynamic way, especially underwater, that pissed of looking giant metal turtle, this is awesome! For this game, I will be buying a PS5. Then finally, the moment we were all waiting for, the reveal of the console itself. The best looking video game console in my as always humble opinion was the original mark one Sega Megarive/Genesis, the critical word in that sentence being "was". It's so futuristic and sleek, it wouldn't out of place spraying water in a courtyard outside of a fancy cooperate headquarters. The two-tone colour, the asymmetry, it's a stunning looking thing. Sorry XBox, but I don't think there's even a contest here. When it comes to hardware atheistics, Sony has you beat. I can't say I'm surprised to see a version of the console that's digital only, but I am relieved there's a version with a disk tray as well. But that's just my opinion, what do you guys think? And what did you think of the presentation overall? I think this was a great showing from Sony and PlayStation. Lots of great games shown and a long awaited console reveal that did not disappoint. EDIT: You know what, I think it might look even better lying flat;

Learn to read....... in hell.

Have you tried an emulator? DosBox is a good DOS emulator that even GOG.com use to run DOS games they sell on their store, maybe you could give that a try?

I think Golden Axe has potential, at least from the version of SEGA that has a clue, and not the SEGA that made this unholy abomination;

It was an Atari. Fairly certain it was the 2600 Junior, but it could have been the 7800. I remember the housers in our area were going through renovations, so we were temporally re-located into a kind of caravan or portable home until the work was complete. I remember played a multi game cartridge with 30 games on it including Combat, Golf a number of sports games and a load of others. Even by the standard of the late 80's/early 90's this was pretty old school, but me and my brothers loved it nonetheless. I have no idea where that machine is now, it's probably long gone, but the memories remain. The next console I remember playing was the SNES, so I kind of skipped the 8-bit era.

Pre-ordering makes sense if you want to secure a physical copy of a came of special edition that you know will be in high demand and limited in availability and/or of your salary payments or availability of funds dictates that pre-ordering at a certain time is better in consideration of controlling your finances (God, I sound like such a grown up dork!). Other than that, pre-odering is something that should be avoided. Companies want you to do it so they can have your money before they're actually due it to please their investors. Still, if you want the bells and whistles from a pro-order, but begrudge that developer/publisher the satisfaction, here's a tip. Pre-order just a few minutes before the game is released. That company doesn't get to boast about that pre-sale to it's never rich enough board and investors and you get the perks. Everyone wins.

Still think #Alllivesmatter is something justified? Time for a wake up call. In many ways you are, in fact, correct. All lives matter, all lives are precious and nobody in the #Blacklivesmatter movement is saying otherwise, but you're missing point that they're trying to get across. Imagine there's ten people sitting at a table in a restaurant. All of them have been served food except for one, who we'll call BLM. BLM's saying "I earned a seat at this table, so I deserve food." One of the other guests, we'll call him ALM, fires back saying "We all earned a place at this table, so we all deserve food." as he continues to eat off his plate. Now, ALM isn't wrong. They all did indeed earn a place at this table and so they all deserve food, but that doesn't change the fact ALM is sitting there with food and doesn't really know what it's like to be BLM sitting there with an empty plate watching everyone else eat. BLM isn't asking for MORE food than ALM, he doesn't value himself above ALM, he just wants what's fair. Now, if you were one of the other guests at that table, would you help BLM get the food he deserves or just sit there because this is the norm? Of course, you would help, right? You would call over the waiter or restaurant manager to point out the problem so that they can correct it, but by saying #Alllivesmatter, is that really what you're doing? #Blacklivesmatter isn't about denying your rights and privileges, nor is it about bolstering someone else's rights that are equal to your own onto a pedestal, it's about a shining light on injustice. An injustice not created by fault of law, but by a failing of society. So to all you people pretending #Alllivesmatter is something worth believing in, stop being mad that don't have a real movement to get behind, be relived you didn't need a movement to begin with. And while you're at, stop being so selfish and actually start believing in justice instead of your own privilege.

I had heard horror stories about the quality of this port from several sources, and this review from TheSixthAxis pretty much sums it up. We're already at a point where the Switch is lacking the guts to keep up with modern games development, so this does not bode well when developers are focused on next get gen' games.

The problem with the Wii is that it's not 4rth best-selling home console of all time, it's the worlds best-selling dust collector. Parents bought it for family to enjoy at parties, then it spends the rest of life in a cupboard somewhere. It's a level of casual only appeal that makes mobile gaming look like Dungeons and Dragons. Everyone bought the console, but nobody played it, and if need to I can even prove it. You see, I've doing some maths, and based on sales totals of every game that sold 1 millions units or more for the Wii, the average Wii owner owned less than four games for the system, and that includes Wii Sports, a game that bundled with every console outside of Japan. People call it a success, but just wasn't.

I beg to differ, in fact haven't liked the GTA series since Vice City. San Andreas was to into its own style for me to me feel involved, so I just didn't enjoy it as much, but it's still a good game. GTA IV, however, was rubbish. Everything related to the story, from the characters to the plot was far too serious, they dumped the more arcade style gameplay for something trying to more like Gran Turismo while driving and Call of Duty while in combat and it just didn't work and the annoying way the game constantly harassed you to do it's pointless side activities was enough to drive a perfectly sane person bug shagging mad! I will say GTA V was a massive improvement of GTA IV, but not by nearly enough for me to call it a masterpiece. The gameplay still lacks the more fun, arcade-like feel of older GTA games and it's online multiplayer is an insatiable, money munching monster. GTA Online is the reason why we're still years away from another GTA game. Rockstar are just not the same company any more and I don't trust THIS Rockstar to get it right.

Again, I haven't seen the spoilers or leeks because I've been avoiding them, but I have seen some the reactions of people to those leaks and people being unjustly upset over some pro LGBTQ themes in the game is a common thread. I find these homophobic complaints as baffling as they are disgusting as it's been clear (Bit of a spoiler) ever since the first games DLC "Left Behind" that Ellie (one of main protagonists and THE main protagonist in TLOU2) was gay. Even the gameplay trailer for TLOU2 from over a year ago shows her kissing her girlfriend at a party, so it's not like this was something newly revealed by the leaks, yet it's only been since then that people have really flipped their lids about it, at least to this extent. It does make me think there's more to that and maybe it'll become clear after I've played the game, but that's the common thread as far as I can tell. The complaints are coming from load of immature, insecure, homophobic man babies intimidated by the fact that they'll be playing as a strong female lead and a 19-year-old lesbian in a video game instead Sargent-White-Big-Man-Penis. They're pathetic.

Want this. This is such an underrated RPG.

Vampires are sentient and in full control of their impulses in this game as far as I can tell. Because of that, you can't fully blame their actions on instinct or a beastly nature alone, there is a conscience making their act's of violence a choice. The Vigilants of Stendarr and the Dawngaurd, whilst justified in their level of hatred for Vampires, I don't think are justified in their reasons why. Yes, Vampires murder, but it seems the Vigilants reasons are more religious than moral and that makes me think that's what's really getting in the way and forcing vampires to live as hunters and vagrants. No, a Vampires actions in this game cannot be justified, but can they be explained by the fact that this society has left them with no choice? There're humans in the game just as, if not more brutal, merciless and senseless in their violent actions. The Dawnguard are doing the right thing by trying to eradicate the threat, but I can't help but feel there's an even better option that neither side would be willing to accept For the game, I feel the path in support of the Vampire is more interesting, but that's just me.

The problem is that they were allowed in the first place.

I'm in another country and pre-ordered the game digitally, so all I can suggest is try Amazon or another on-line store? I have been avoiding the spoilers, but those leeks came from a source trying to ruin the game from, what I can tell, is a blatantly homophobic perspective, so fuck those leaks and fuck the ass holes who did it. EDIT: I know you won't, but please don't spoil the game.

One that stands out for me immediately is the soundtrack to Carmageddon, mostly because it's an instrumental version of Fear Factory's "Demanufacture" album... A few other stand out's, starting with; This is an overused example, but there is a very good reason for that; One of the best video game intro's ever, and the song "Invasion Confirmed" that plays is great. OK, this one is a little bit of cheating given this was originally a movie theme, but this is one of the best re-mixes/covers of this theme that I've ever heard, Considering this was made for the cartridge based N64, it's pretty impressive;

During normal use it's stays cool. It's only when playing games that really poke it with a stick it'll heat up a bit. Even then it's not hot enough to worry me, it's just a bit uncomfortable to have on your lap. Using a cooling pad is just an extra step I took to help it run more efficiently and increase its lifespan.

It's not quite the same model, but it is similar. Mine is the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DV with a 6GB version of Nvidia's 2060 GPU and the same Ryzen 7 3750H CPU that's in the laptop @skyfireis looking at. I don't know enough about programming to make that call, but I have been play AC Odyssey on this machine at 1080p (maximum resolution for this screen) at max settings with a frame rate hovering around 50fps. So games run well on this thing, but I would recommend a cooling pad to rest the laptop on when you play as it can get a little hot.

Is the slingshot powered by batteries or does it use batteries as ammo? Either way it's kinda weird.
