    Editorial Decades of Games Later, Stickers Still Suck

    Did anyone else open this thinking it was going to be about collecting folders and notebooks of various character stickers, scratch n' sniff stickers, etc.... that you don't get anymore because they are cheaply made and not packaged with stuff anymore? But yes, stickers in this regard suck too.

    Okami HD coming to PC, Xbox One, and Playstation 4

    Happy they release some classics like this on new systems.... but I really wish they would put effort into sequels of good games like that rather than just releasing the same thing over and over again.

    Gaming Amiibo cards that I made

    If you could have a Super-Power, what would it be?

    Immortality... combined with invulnerability. Or teleportation.

    Hardware PlayStation VR - $399 Oct 2016

    I'm all for VR Tech taking off. I'm an old schooler who remembers the push in the 90's for VR Tech. Bought a VictorMAXX for the Genesis... it wasn't true VR and didn't have 3-d games, but did "track" your head movement with a left/right pole that would send those commands to your controller as...

    "Big" Nintendo announcement happening Monday

    Is the big news really that Minecraft is coming to the Wii U? Really... because that's a sad announcement if that's it. Not because of the game, but because it's been available for other systems for so long. This is just another "Look we're doing great, we're releasing games years old for our...

    Hacking Devolution disc check question

    I believe it adds a Wii console specific code (like the serial number or uses the personal keys) to the verification, so if you verify it on one wii, you can't take it to another without verifying it again. This is part of the copy protection, otherwise people would just post verified images...

    Nintendo killing many games related Online Services for Wii & DS

    So I already did a rant about the full switch to digital and how that will kill the "game collector" and now we are getting to the killing of web-based content and killing the game itself for the most part. I'd like to see either: 1. Nintendo releases a final update to allow you to point to...

    Hardware Mario & Luigi Wii Remote Plus

    you can just buy a solid red controller... dx.com not sure about solid green though... I think I'd prefer something more Mario/Luigi than just an M and an L printed on a red or green face though.... and $40 for a remote... still?

    Kickstarter Was Hacked

    I did preface that with how they deal with it in the US.... :) I know they have different policies in European Countries and other areas... I've had fairly good experiences with the credit card companies... they are too afraid to lose you as a customer than worry about a charge most of the...

    Kickstarter Was Hacked

    Ever shop at: Target Neiman Marcus TJ Maxx Barnes and Noble ... the list goes on. Things like this happen all the time. That's why you should do a few simple things to protect yourself... Use only credit cards, not debit or bank accounts on sites. At least here in the US, credit card...

    [BFWWIWA] Issue #1 - Sega Saturn

    This is a great article, but another *big* reason for its failure that is glossed over is the release and failure of the 32X. Keep in mind that while the 32X came out as an add-on for Genesis, it was the 32-bit "Next-gen" console release from Sega and at a full new console price at the time...

    Mmm! That's some good Pi! GBAtemp Raspberry Pi contest!

    I'd like to try and use one to create a secure entry access system, eventually evolving into a smart home brain. Using a web interface hosted on the Pi to provide access to mobile (phone/tablet) or other remote devices to be able to send a message to open various doors, authenticated via a...
