Thank you to everyone who watched our silly little show.
Like most retro gaming fiends, Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol were eating well in the Wii era. Better known as Nirvanna the Band, the two uploaded comedy shorts online before landing a TV show and hit feature film. This included a musical tribute to all the games you could play on Nintendo’s Virtual Console. 15 years later, one fan has edited the catchy jingle to exclude all the games unavailable on current gen switch. Updating “Update Day,” or the Wii Shop Wednesday song, the bossa nova ode to the Virtual Console runs a little shorter. McCarrol still croons out the…
Batman: The Killing Joke remains one of the most influential runs in the Dark Knight’s history. Written by Alan Moore and drawn by Brian Bolland, it is a twisty odyssey into a legendary rivalry. Testing Batman’s fortitude and unleashing an outright vicious vision for the once corny clown prince of crime. It’s still a high point for fans, with obvious influences on the broader Batman legacy. One boutique publisher wants to test how high a price they can get for it, as the new “Avant-Garde” edition will run collectors $17 grand. Based out of Croatia, Argent Comics “re-engineers DC’s iconic…
Earlier this week, longtime Nintendo producer and current executive officer Takashi Tezuka announced that he would be retiring from the company. Tezuka had been with Nintendo since the mid-80s, cutting his teeth on Punch-Out‼ before tackling some of the most pivotal games in history. This rap sheet includes Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing. However, those at Nintendo speak of Tezuka most reverently on Link’s Awakening, a game they feel pivoted the Zelda series towards its greatest adventures. Fresh out of art school, Tezuka applied to Nintendo alongside a friend. His pal didn’t make the cut,…
I know we’ve danced this dance a dozen times at this point, but, for once, there is some genuine evidence that Take-Two and Rockstar Games are gearing up to drop some Grand Theft Auto 6 news in the next few days. However, the reason why it seems a bit more compelling this time around is because said evidence is coming directly from Take-Two’s marketing partner, Sony. As spotted by long-serving Rockstar Games reporter Videotech on X, several users have reported that they’ve been receiving oddly specific marketing emails from Sony regarding Grand Theft Auto 6. Likewise, others have reported receiving…
Developers at the long-running game studio Double Fine, which was acquired by Microsoft back in 2018, are forming a union. The group, which is best known for Psychonauts and just recently released the pottery battle game Kiln on Game Pass, filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board on May 7 on behalf of 42 regular and part-time workers. As first reported by Aftermath, they’re seeking an election alongside a request for voluntary recognition from Microsoft. “On May 7, the workers at Microsoft studio Double Fine Productions announced their decision to form a union with CWA to preserve and…
Chosen for impact to humanity … The Falcon 9 team was chosen from a long list of impressive nominees. “In the end, the deciding factor was what we felt like was the team’s impact to humanity,” said Dan Dumbacher, chair of the Neil Armstrong Space Prize selection committee. “Their work has had a very clear impact and a very visible impact.” Hard to disagree with that. Chinese firm pursues aerodynamic recovery. Chinese commercial launch startup Nayuta Space has completed consecutive Pre-A financing rounds to support development of its unconventional Xuanniao-R rocket concept, Space News reports. The two-stage, 70-meter-long, 3.8m-diameter Xuanniao-R…
And on Friday, the Department of Defense (which has renamed itself the Department of War without the required authorization from the US Congress) began releasing those files. So what’s in there? You can see for yourself here. The short answer is “not much.” Example photo from the UAP files released Friday. Credit: US military Example photo from the UAP files released Friday. Credit: US military The longer answer is that there are pages and pages of old FBI records, unresolved cases, eyewitness interviews, and the usual grainy, black-and-white images that show dots but nothing remotely conclusive about aliens, alien spaceships,…
If dubious auction listings, cable news follies or pure financials weren’t cutting it before, GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is leveraging another stake in his bid for eBay: his emotional investment. In a conversation with Business Insider’s Sarah E. Needleman, Cohen says one of his biggest drives in taking over the e-commerce titan is that he’s lost the spark at his current job. Assuming it was ever there to begin with. “I wasn’t passionate about GameStop,” says Cohen. “I’m passionate about eBay. I believe in eBay’s business.” Cohen took over as GameStop CEO in 2023 after joining the board in 2021,…
These now-routine price increases are a marked change from a decades-long period where game consoles routinely and quickly dropped in price in the years after their launch. Even before recent component shortages, though, a combination of higher-than-normal inflation, the slowing of Moore’s Law, tariff-related market shocks, and spiking gas prices have made the once-reliable console price drop a fading market memory. In updated financial forecasts also released today, Nintendo cited “the impact of these price revisions” in projecting sales of 16.5 million Switch 2 units in the current fiscal year (ending March 2027). That’s down from 19.86 million sales in…
