Today’s editorial comes thanks to a listener (@Ares_0926) who posed the following observation: “…THQ and Atari, cyclical market consolidation or victims of the economy? [What about] Acclaim and Midway? [Is there a connection] to the crash of ’85 and the post-NES consolidation[?]” Again the sentence structure is extracted from tweets so I had to fill

Nintendon’t Get It
I know some of you follow me on Twitter () and already saw the negative things I had to say about Nintendo Direct’s “big reveals” today. Before you judge or label me a fanboy of…whatever you think I’m biased toward, I urge you to read my thoughts first and then judge me. Note: The following views

CES 2013: Sifteo Cubes Interactive Game System Demo
