Apparently 3 guys spent over $100k for a factory sealed copy of Super Mario Bros.. Let that sink in.

Yeah, people who pay 100k for Marvel Comics #1 don't do so because they want to read it.

"2:00PM Gearbox Main Theater Show" OH, HELL YEAH! "Gearbox Software and Gearbox Publishing". If it was just the publishing side of Gearbox, that would've been cause for concern, but it's not. Also note that Pitchford appeared ready to be there last year and announce the game until the issues with one of the playable characters forced them to not show up. They're not going to let this opportunity slip out of their hands again.
All but guarantees the official announcement of Borderlands 3 at PAX East, and it's about damn time! Last edited by DAMN iNATOR; 02-28-2019 at 04:38 PM. |

That gives this Star Wars game some hope if Chris Avellone is writing.

Outside of a few exceptions, EA usually held the most boring conference at E3 for years so not that big of a loss in terms of entertainment quality.
At least with Sony, they did hint at likely being back next year and were upfront of not really having anything major to showoff for this year. Pretty much tipped their hands of next year being the big reveal of the PS5. Same for all the recent rumors of Microsoft likely showing off the next Xbox at next year's E3. |

The last system update for PS4 added remote play for iOS. I played Spider-man on my phone last night. Well, just web swung around. You cant properly play games like that with the on screen buttons. It does support Mfi controllers though.
I'm gonna try it away from home. Sim some fire pro while I get a bite to eat. |

According to reports, Epic Games recently won a big legal victory in regards to the on-going dance emotes controversy in Fortnite.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued a two part ruling with the first part involving all lawsuits against Epic that did not have their dance trademarks/copyrights approved beforehand must be dropped. This pretty much covers all the lawsuits that have been filed against the company. The other part involves any lawsuit forced to be dropped can be resubmitted at a later date should the plaintiff gain legal ownership of their dance. This ruling pretty much stacks the odds in favor of Epic Games for lawsuits. https://www.pcgamesn.com/fortnite/em...wsuits-dropped https://www.destructoid.com/supreme-...s-545967.phtml |
