I got sent the Hyper X Quadcast 2 USB Microphone to review! In this article I talk about how easy it is to slap and mute this thing so I can slurp some bubble tea and you can also listen to a 3 minute recording of me testing out all its polar patterns and showing the differences between each!
Screaming was one of the first things Nom did when she was born, and she was a natural. So when she first tried the Hyper X Quadcast 2 and found how insanely loud she could scream, Nom was pretty heckin’ delighted.

Jake Kazdal, CEO and Creative Director of 17 BIT, the studio behind loose physics-based game Awaysis, thinks game developers are stuck trying to emulate frame-perfect strikes and motion instead of pushing in-game physics to more interesting spaces.

Think of the Wii Shop Channel music. Iconic.

The Nintendo Wii was a massive success and got heaps of new players into join in. Even my mum played a lot of Wii Sports with us and she mostly thinks games are a waste of time. I look back at the legacy on its anniversary

Nintendo gave away millions of games for free. The risk paid off
Innovative motion controls and accessible design made the Nintendo Wii one of the most popular consoles of all time.

Could games be doing more in terms of movement? I interviewed the CEO and creative director of @17-bit.bsky.social @jkooza.bsky.social a couple months ago at TGS to get his perspective and find out more about their new game Awaysis www.sifter.com.au/post/develop...

Kat is the best to ever do it! If you need music for anything, ask her -- she's just finished on our soundtrack for Drăculești and everything she composed for us is impeccable 🎵
Anyone looking for a composer?

Why did Nintendo stop holding live press conferences?

This infamous 2010 Skyward Sword demo probably didn't help.

@jordanmiddler.bsky.social, @scully1888.bsky.social and @andyrobinson.bsky.social rewatch Nintendo's E3 2010 show.

It is specifically bees.
In Super Mario Sunshine, Mario is immune to bees while talking. He will be pushed around by them, but not be harmed while he's engaged in conversation. Note that he is not simply immune to damage - e.g. he will still die to heat stroke while talking. It is specifically bees.

The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Nintendo prototypes its next console using the current one.

For example at the Nintendo Museum the prototype for the DS was 2 GBA screens put on top of each other. While the Wii U prototype was 2 Wii Remotes glued to the sides of a monitor lol

It's fine, it's just placeholder

Nobody reads those anyway
Don't worry, it reflects the creative intent of the team
You see, they're just a little guy
Wow, I had no idea
I mean you can barely tell
Well, all my friends bought it
Call of Duty isn't even hiding the fact that loads of its calling cards and other unlockables are AI generated this year.

For one of the biggest video game franchises in the world this is pretty disgusting...

I learned about this game a couple weeks ago and immediately had to see what it was about! In this review I dissect the deeper meaning of Clover Pit, also I need to know if other people found the ending without looking it up.

One of the best in the business is back on the market and frankly I’d move heaven and earth to give this man a job.
Hey folks, bit of news. Commissioning changes have meant that ABC Gamer will be rested at the end of the year. My contract ends in December and I will be back on the job hunt. It’s been a dream to work here, and the Children & Family team have been extraordinary to work with. Nothing but love.
