So I didn't even know this already happened. I booted up my Xbox One the other day and was greeted with a screen directing me to this show, but I didn't know it aired soon after. I thought they had planned to air it in the next week, but I guess not. Anyway, this new Xbox Developer Direct can be viewed below. It's a 39min video, but there is another hour long stream from gamestop as well, but I wasn't sure if I should post that one or the shortened one. The one I'm posting is of the full conference according to the description. I'll list the other video too just in case. I haven't watched it yet myself, but hope to check it out later today when I have some free time. And the hour+ stream also features the ESO Global Reveal.

You could build a raspberry pi and add RetroPie and emulation station. The raspberry pi and the rest of what you need should go for less than $100. If you want more space or ram, I believe you can pay more for a better board. But it's the cheapest way to build and emulation box or device. A raspberry pi is essentially a compact PC, that you can buy. You can use it like a real PC if you want as well. Usually it's sold as just a board. You will need to buy or build your own case, and buy a power chord, mouse, keyboard etc. It's really fun to build but is great to use as a PC. I had two SD cards, one with an OS, to surf the web and such. And I also had another SD card with the emulators on it. I just switched them out whenever I wanted to play or surf the web.

Doesn't the PS5 open up kinda easily so that people can clean it easier? Or am I thinking of another console? Wish consoles made it easy to clean, but they make it so hard to do so because you can't open consoles without breaking the warranty seal. So you are stuck with the can of air option, but even so, you're just blowing dust further into the device too. I should dust my Xbox one for example, but I should open it up to clean it. But I don't know if I'd dare open up my Xbox one. I don't want to end up breaking it.

Yeah I would never buy from a scalper. I hate how they think they're smart in what they do. They just hurt the market and waste people's time. If I was rich, I still wouldn't bother paying a scalper. I'd just keep looking for a store that might have it. Otherwise I'll wait.

A lot of people play just a handful of games over and over. I used to do it a lot with retro gaming. But lately haven't as much. I rarely play most of the games in my steam library. I have many that I haven't even played yet.

Looks like my original link had a typo. Because everywhere else states he plead not guilty to the charges. I'm assuming a typo or they forgot to add 'not' in the quote. CBS and Time both say he plead not guilty. I must've grabbed the wrong link after I saw it reported on Facebook. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/justin-roiland-rick-and-morty-adult-swim-cuts-ties-following-domestic-violence-charges/ https://time.com/6248022/justin-roiland-rick-and-morty-charges/ Still though, doesn't mean he didn't do it, just that he's denying the allegations. I wonder if the full story will ever come out. I don't think they said exactly what he did aside from just saying false imprisonment by menace or something along those lines . Did he keep a woman there against her will? That's what I'm seeing with the charges he got. Also heard he liked to text underage girls a lot. But haven't looked much into those allegations yet.

Yeah, let it end at a good point and let it rest. I think one day we could see Uncharted come back, but maybe after a 10-20 year break. I can see that being an acceptable time to revisit it. Or maybe a spin-off of sorts. But yeah, I think it's best to let something end in a good or even perfect manner instead of letting it run for too long either. Sometimes things stick around too long and it hurts the overall popularity of it.

Yup, that's the one I was thinking of. I think the next game that studio made was eventually taken down by Sony, and I think they're starting to take these types of games off, or they're not going to promote them anymore without first looking into it. Crazy that it even got a trailer on Sony's channel. This was literally a nothing game. I still don't get how Sony was dumb enough to promote it.

Yeah I'm reserving my judgement until I get the full story too. Roiland has please not guilty to the charges, so maybe there's something he has that will prove his side correct. If all the allegations are false, he could come back to Rick and Morty and his game studio I imagine. But I think he's for now, moving away from his projects to distance himself, and to not hurt the franchises he worked on. But if all of what happened is proven true, his career is probably over. Unless he makes some comeback on another platform later. I don't see him ever coming back from this if proven true.

Yeah I just remember reading from a magazine that Kojima wanted out of MGS and wanted his team to take over at some point. Well it seems that never happened haha. At least not willingly. Yeah I don't think he has any interest to go back to MGS, especially after Death Stranding and the sequel coming, plus the unknown game he is working on for Microsoft. I'm excited to see what else he does outside of MGS.

Yeah true, that makes sense. I suppose to get around that, we can utilize their arena builder. I've seen some fan creations that are nearly identical to the real stadiums/arenas they're based on. And from I have seen in there, they rarely take action against any arenas or custom wrestlers. Unless they're offensive in nature of course.

Maybe it was Sony I was thinking of, because I remember some marketplace, blocked sale of a new game that was poorly made. It was a game where you played as an animal I think, like a Lion. I don't remember, but Sony was getting heat for allowing this dev to sell games, and at some point they flat out removed their games from their marketplace. That's fair. I thought Steam used to monitor the games that were released on their platform. Did they recently change it to where they can allow just about any game to be listed?

I didn't take that into consideration, but I'm sure they could name the stadiums and locations another name to get through that. Or at the least, design arenas that are close to the real deal, but change enough to where you don't get into any legal trouble.

True. Studios and developers need to see that sometimes it's okay to end a franchise when its at the height of its glory. Uncharted is one of the best franchises around, and I think it's because they haven't run the well dry on ideas with it. It's the same way I feel about certain tv shows and movies overstaying their welcome. Breaking Bad for example is imo, a show people should take note of for when to end a show. Another show that I think should have ended ages ago, was The Blacklist. I hear that show is on it's 11th or 12th season by now, and I think that's too much. Things get stale when you keep repeating the same thing over and over, and I think Naughty Dog saw that it was time to end the series. Didn't Kojima want to quit the series after MGS 3? I imagine Konami kept badgering him about a new game.

I just hope they don't change that menu theme song, because that song is fire no lie. As long as most of the soundtrack is intact, I think I'll be good. But yeah, there's got to be some licensing stuff going on with it. Otherwise this probably would have been released months or years ago. I don't know how the copyright works there. I assume that Microsoft owns the game itself, but had to license the Goldeneye/007 name/characters side of it all over again. I think the big reason why this took so long, is because of the 007 aspect of it. Maybe they had to go through some hoops to workout the licensing again.

I wish they would include all the iconic arenas, every WrestleMania, and other important PPVs of the past. I think most WWE games do it, but I feel like if they added as many of the famous arenas as possible, it would go over well. After 2K22, I'm just hoping it changes some things. Like a more expansive general manager mode. I actually liked Cena when he first joined the WWE, but as they kept having him go over and winning title after title, I soon stopped liking him. It's why I always wanted him to go back to his heel cena gimmick which we kinda got a taste of when he first started his thuganomics gimmick. But once he went on his lifetime babyface run, I slowly lost interest in him. But now days that he isn't clouding the WWE's roster anymore, I like him more. Especially what he has done as of late in TV and movies. Honestly think he's more versatile than The Rock is when it comes to acting.

Neil Druckmann and Naughty Dog have spoken, they have no intentions of making another Uncharted game, and I gotta commend them for actually going that direction. Uncharted is arguably one of their best franchises outside for the Last of Us. But I think it's great they're not making more in the series, because it sounds like it got an ending people enjoyed. With that being said, I think this opens up Naughty Dog to make new IPs and maybe even go back to their well of content to continue past projects, like idk, maybe Jak & Daxter making a long awaited comeback? Or a remastered set of the Jak & Daxter series. What do you think Naughty Dog has in store for us?

It's crazy to think someone you respected as an artist, could be a bad person. But, it's good to never to fully trust celebs, because they're not always what you expect them to be. Anyway, they say they're continuing Rick and Morty, and I think it'll be fine without Roiland. Dan Harmon is still a big factor of the show imo, so I think with him still there, they can make due with what they have. But yeah, crazy to see how some celebs are behind closed doors.

I really wonder if Steam is going to take this game down. It doesn't even resemble a game at this point. It kinda reminds me how people throw up those gofundme's or kickstarter campaigns to make money for dumb reasons. This feels much like that, in that this guy made a shit game, and raised the price by a ton in the hopes someone dumb enough would waste money on it. All he needs is one guy to pay $2000 and he could peace out. Maybe that's all he was hoping to get, but if anything I imagine a $1 priced game would sell more and possibly make him more than $2000. Yikes, this guy sounds like a tool. And the game looks like just a run of the mill visual novel that anyone could make these days. But yeah, this guy was obviously trying to get publicity and a quick buck before this eventually gets taken down. Because lets face it, once Steam gets an idea of this, which they may have already, they should be removing this game soon. Or at least I would expect them to do so.

At least I am assuming it's the John Cena Showcase mode, similar to their other showcase modes going over wrestlers like Rey Mysterio last year. Easy option to go with John Cena's career as a showcase storyline. The trailer doesn't show a whole lot of what to expect from the new game, but my guess is that it will be much of the same as last years WWE 2K22. The game comes out March 14th, and as you can tell it drops with a few versions. I don't know if I will be buying this or the new AEW game when it eventually drops. I hope wrestling games are good again. :D

That's the thing, I don't know if they got in trouble for giving the codes away for free. I think it was more so when some people tried to sell them instead. But I may be wrong. It could be that they got in trouble for giving them away for free. Actually I'm starting to remember. I think Humble Bundle allowed you to input your steam name on your humble bundle account. And when you purchased anything, I think they kind of tied those codes to your steam profile, so if they are used on another account, they might catch you that way. I don't know. All I know is that someone told me they were banned because they gave away a code of theirs. So essentially, be careful about the codes you buy/sell/giveaway if it's humble bundle at least. Or just don't connect your steam account to your humble page.

That's fair. I myself have never built a PC, so the idea of building one is kinda scary, especially when you pay so much for the parts. I've heard horror stories of new builders getting their parts and then blowing the PC up because they did things wrong. If I ever build a PC, I'm using as many guides as I can use haha. I would go pre-built, but I think I like the idea of building my own PC, from my own hands. One of these days I'll do it.

I agree. I hate to say it, but I think Metal Gear Solid is good where it's at. I don't think we necessarily need a sequel or a new game altogether. I would still like a remake or remaster of the original game, but I don't think it needs to continue on in a new direction. I mean, if Kojima came back, I'd maybe reconsider, but I'd rather him just start fresh new IPs anyway.

That is just insane. I don't know how anyone can think something like that is worth that much, especially it being a digital game, with digital graphics, and did I say it was digital? lol But seriously, this has to be some kind of publicity thing to draw news outlets in, in the hopes of getting some idiots to actually buy it. I wonder if anyone actually did buy this.

I never thought I'd be hearing about Justin Roiland possibly being a horrible human being, but it may be reality. Justin Roiland, as most of us know him for being the co-creator of Rick and Morty and also the found of Squanch games who developed games like the recent High on Life and Trover saves the Universe, has resigned from his studio Squanch Games after allegations of domestic abuse. He also was forced out of his show Rick and Morty, which will continue on without him. Hell, Hulu even cut ties with him. This dude is done everywhere. I wonder if he's guilty of what he's being accused of. I heard he also got it for false imprisonment. All stemming from a relationship he had in 2020. Do you think Roiland is done after all of this? Or will we have to wait for the inevitable court cases to find the full story on this? More details on what he did can be found here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/rick-and-morty-will-continue-without-justin-roiland-after-abuse-charges/ar-AA16JKUq
