Interesting move by logitech. Glad I don't own one or would be pissed.

If you guys see something wonky with the update please report it.

Also you guys can write reviews for the main page. Feel free to do so. Thanks

I am loving Avery Johnson, we had 2k show up for a preseason basketball pratice a few days ago. Let that sink in, 2k to a Bama BBall practice a month before Football kicks off. We love Bball down here but its something to watch when football is over. Would love to be relevant in BBall again like we were in the 80's

So far its getting ripped by reviewers.

Sega, re release the genesis like Nintendo did, but add a cartridge slot. Don't add bloat/crapware on it. You are killing the genesis image it once had.

with that said good news if you love the villains flavor of it. Villains is a stand alone expansion or just a different starter if you will.

Looks like Bill Gates will finally kill off the paint program.

Microsoft's next Windows 10 update, called the Autumn (or Fall in the US) Creators Update, will bring a variety of new features. But one long-standing stalwart of the Windows experience has been put on the chopping block: Microsoft Paint.

First released with the very first version of Windows 1.0 in 1985, Paint in its various guises would be one of the first graphics editors used by many and became a core part of Windows. Starting life as a 1-bit monochrome licensed version of ZSoft's PC Paintbrush, it wasn't until Windows 98 that Paint could save in JPEG.

With the Windows 10 Creators Update, released in April, Microsoft introduced the new Paint 3D, which is installed alongside traditional Paint and features 3D image making tools as well as some basic 2D image editing. But it is not an update to original Paint and doesn't behave like it.

This Author describes the pros and cons of steam vs. GOG and why you should give it a try. I agree with the article and GOG is a favorite of mine.
The TL;DR version.


Although the author states that there are no achievements, but GOG is adding them. Its kinda of quirky, I have seen them pop up when playing but I cannot view after seeing them.

Also sometimes if your steam account is linked with GOG, if you have a game in your steam library, during sales they will show up in your GOG library. I have had 3 games pop up that way.

Also they may have that old game you loved back in the day but your cpu cant play it, well they fixed that usually with dosbox, but you can play some old school games that way.

I never knew the story behind that image, but Lugz and I used to go to a few of them back in the day. It was a lot of fun.
