Cool looking game!

Love old video game magazine art. Will watch this later.

New arrivals:

Welcome to the club!

Yeah I watched that video last night. I know Notch is a little controversial and some people really don't like him, but pretty cool to see he's paying Karls legal bill for being sued by Billy!

Update:

I think the jig is up for these guys lol.

Just finished watching it and yeah it's pretty bad. Some of these guys have been doing this for decades!

Yeah it's pretty crazy alright. I watched part of the video but I have to finish it still.

Great article here talking about all of these huge sales.

It all seemed a little too fishy to me so I can't say I'm surprised.



Edit: this twitter thread is a great read too! https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/1429869892552044547

This was a few days ago now, but in case anyone missed it there is a new mini console coming out.



https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/the-next-mini-console-is-the-amiga-500-which-comes-with-worms-and-chaos-engine/

Comes pre-loaded with 25 games and also has the ability to play ROMS. I realize I'm not the target audience for this (living in NA and having no experience with the brand), but it seems awful expensive to me. $139.99 / â,¬129.99 / £119.99 is a lot of money for 25 games. Yes you can add more but I think there should be more games built in.

Anyone getting one?

So I was reading about this latest delay a bit, and at this point I'm like 90% sure this will never be released. Sending out an email to announce the third delay of your console at midnight on a Friday does not give me any confidence in your product lol.

The hardware isn't finished, the controller isn't finished, the UI isn't finished, and the games aren't finished. To have this out to backers before the end of the year it would have to hit production very soon. You can't start production when nothing is finished! The fans and backers of this are already starting to get a little vocal and it's only going to get worse at the end of the year when they don't receive anything. Hope I'm wrong but I just don't see how this has any chance of success.

That is the dogs bollocks.

Is that good or bad?

That's cool. Food Fight is a lot of fun. If it turns out good I'll get it on Xbox.

That is really cool!

Yeah there's a few I'm not really interested in but I decided a while ago that I wasn't buying them all. Some definitely seem like a better deal than others.

Lol yeah that's the other problem. For what it can do it does seem expensive.
