Report: Nintendo NX is bringing back Cartridges; party like it’s 1996
Nintendo is bringing back cartridges, the format that single-handedly delivered them a strong L in the Nintendo 64 generation. Though, I mean, they’ve never truly went away for Nintendo, have they? Given their portable systems and all. Still though, bringing them back for their home console seems like an interesting idea. I have no idea if it’ll work. I know nothing.

New Horizons has taken pictures of *another* dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt
New Horizon ain’t just snapping shots of Pluto, everyone’s favorite (dwarf) planet. Nah. Nah! It’s also snapping shots of 50000 Quaoar. A dwarf planet roughly half the size of Pluto.
‘Final Fantasy XV’ begins “Open World”, becomes more “Linear” in Second Half
I don’t really know what to make of this news. Or rather, I don’t know what it means. Apparently Final Fantasy XV is going to start off “open world”, as the magical boy band drives around the world. Fighting Titans, jerking each other off in gas station bathrooms (as all bro road trips should be), cruising in their car. However, the title will become more linear in the second half of the game. Okay. Fine. I’m sort of with it so far. But what gives me a pause is when in an interview the game director says “we made it in a way that you’ll also get to advance through it as you have in conventional Final Fantasy games“, which, huh. Wait.

Bill Nye is getting a talk show on Netflix titled ‘Bill Nye Saves the World’
Well, why not? Netflix is vacuuming up all of my childhood and late adolescent artifacts and regurgitating them into the streaming-pipes. So, again. Why not Bill Nye, who has seemingly enjoyed a wonderful resurgence over the past couple of years.
‘Supergirl’ and ‘Arrow’ co-creator is developing a ‘Black Lightning’ TV series
I don’t watch Supergirl or Arrow. Not out of some judgment on their quality, but, you know. I can barely get to the fucking TV shows I do watch. However, for those of you deeply invested in the DCTVerse (I made that up?), you are getting another one to add to your stable.
‘Doctor Strange’ Featurette: Open Your Mind (To The Villains)
Doctor Strange continues to inch closer. As, you know, everything does. Meat-sack rot, death, the slow entropic puttering of the Universe. But, hey! Maybe Doctor Strange will be a momentary reprieve from the soul-crushing reality of the latter aforementioned.
Views From The Space-Ship: Legoland was an Inside Job
Bringing back Desktop Thursdays! An invitation to peer into the virtual and physical world of mine, while ostensibly sharing views from your own world(s) in the comments section. I used to sporadically share “Views from the Space-Ship” but, fuck, it made me lazy and I didn’t enter installments as regularly as I would like. So! A return!
Run The Jewels debuts ‘Panther Like A Panther’ in ‘Gears of War 4’ Horde Gameplay Trailer
Yes, the lead of this paragraph is decidedly Run The Jewels and not Gears of War 4. That said, I’m excited for both the new Gears and RTJ3. Moreso RTJ3, but I’m sweating that more than most things.
