I love this period of time in GPUland. You know the one I mean, it’s between the point when AMD and Nvidia have released the main chip designs using the latest architecture and the start of the refresh season. It’s easy to tell when it’s that moment, because tech news channels are awash with leaks…

Mamma mia! The NES classic Super Mario Bros. 3 is now 35 years old. Eek. Released in Japan on October 23rd 1988, the game was hailed as an instant smash hit. Amazingly, it didn’t come to North America until February 12th, 1990. It was even worse for European gamers, who had to wait until August…

This year’s CitizenCon was a two-day event and apparently the biggest show Cloud Imperium Games has put on for its cautionary tale about scope creep in MMO form.
