The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
Naughty Dog producer Neil Druckman is in a bit of hot water for a Tweet that allegedly compared critics to trolls. The controversy started after The Last of Us Part II began leading the Game’s Choice award poll for the upcoming 2020 Game Awards. Druckman took to Twitter to express his delight at the news,…
BioWare executive Casey Hudson and Dragon Age executive producer Mark Darrah announced that they are leaving the company. “I’m incredibly fortunate to have had a career where I’ve been able to work with brilliantly talented people, create entire worlds from our imaginations, and see them being enjoyed by millions of people around the world,” Hudson…
There was a time when I was quite interested in Apple’s product lineup. As you can tell from a lot of the earliest articles on this site. Nowadays, not so much. Frankly, their stuff became dull as dishwater after Steve Jobs passed. This was also around the same time their computers started to morph into…
It’s a bit of an understatement when I say nothing good has happened in the last 12 months. Thanks to the CCPVirus and good ol’ government incompetence, we were trapped inside, jobs were lost, there were riots in the streets, and the price of Oreos went up. You can say this year has been nothing…
The 9th generation console launch debacle is probably the single biggest gaming story this year. Both the PS5 and Xbox Series sold out within seconds of going live on retail sites. Largely due to botnets scooping them up far faster than any human could ever hope to. Most of these systems are now selling on…
The launch of the PlayStation 5 has been a bit of a disaster, to put it mildly. First with pre-order chaos, followed by technical glitches with certain units. Now adding insult to injury, some UK tossers who ordered one through Amazon are instead receiving cat food and and small appliances, among other things. Another Twitter…
UPDATE: Bethesda has confirmed that the physical release of Doom Eternal has been cancelled. “While Doom Eternal is 100% on track for an imminent digital-only release on Nintendo Switch, the absence of a physical release at retail resulted in cancelled pre-orders. Affected customers will receive full refunds and should contact their preferred retailer for more…
New Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 consoles are running into numerous technical problems, and early adopters are none to happy. Owners of Sony’s 9th generation beast are reporting bugs that cause the system crash and soft-brick. Several reviewers have managed to replicate the issue. Demitris from Modern Vintage Gamer encountered it while playing Call of…
Every year, it has been my tradition to play through Grim Fandango on Día de los Muertos. It seems odd that one could build an entire game around a Mexican holiday that’s rather obscure in the rest of the world. Or rather was back when the game was released in 1998, some 20 years before…
The Xbox Series X has only been out for two days now. At least for the lucky few who were able to grab a pre-order, or stupid enough to pay a scalper. Well, already the console is generating some controversy after some units allegedly started smoking due to overheating. This would be a pretty serious…
