UncategorizedGameCube Games, Running On A Samsung Phone
Take a look at this video by GuruAidTechSupport, showing a new Samsung Galaxy S8 running the Dolphin emulator (for GameCube and Wii games) almost flawlessly.

UncategorizedLook At This Little Mei Action Figure
Good Smile Company’s Tracer Nendoroid now has some company: this Mei figure, who is cute as a forzen lil’ button. She’s $50, and will be out in November.

UncategorizedYouTube hero Dinoflask has released another video of Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan saying stuff he never actually said, and it’s a masterpiece.

The Modder Behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, A Game That Just Sold A Million Copies
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is the title of Steam’s latest million-seller. It’s also a damn mouthful. So, why call it that? Who, or what (or when???) is PlayerUnknown? PlayerUnknown is not, as some people seem to think, the game’s development studio, nor is he a character in the game. Instead, it’s the handle of one person: modder-turned-game-developer…

Over the weekend, a Final Fantasy VII player who goes by the handle CirclMastr got Cloud and Barret to level 99, which isn’t particularly impressive. What’s impressive is that he did it before the game’s first boss battle. It took roughly 500 hours, by CirclMastr’s count, to pull off this ridiculous accomplishment. He’s been plugging…
