Game Dev Story is a neat little iPhone game that’s about running a studio that makes video games. It went down well with people. So well, in fact, that its developers will be releasing a sequel. Well, by “release”, we mean “port”, as Game Dev Story is actually a Japanese PC game from the 1990s,…

Turning A Nintendo Console Into A Skate Park

Settle in for nearly five minutes of some guy using an old Famicom (Japan’s take on the NES) and its game cartridges as a skate park for his fingerboard antics. It’s great stuff.

Airport Security Ruins Video Games, Too

The Transportation Security Administration isn’t making too many friends in American airports at the moment.
