Sources seem to disagree on its origin, so we decided to investigate! Who created Dreamcast’s logo? You’d think that would be a simple thing to answer. After all, Sega’s shop is still full of Dreamcast-associated merch emblazoned with the iconic coloured swirl and there have been countless interviews over the years with people involved in…
Like it or not, we’re very much in the world of generative AI now. Massively complex neural networks trained on vast quantities of data, all so we can use it to make pictures of donkeys riding space rockets or tell us which churro coating is the best.

Small, but mighty. While the majority of handheld emulation systems have been pocket-friendly without being too tiny, there’s been a growing trend in recent years to make these devices as small as possible.

Digital pre-orders are now available. Vanillaware’s upcoming tactical RPG, Unicorn Overlord, might have been one of the more low-key announcements of the September 2023 Nintendo Direct, but with publisher Atlus releasing a new trailer today, we can confirm that it still looks stunning. Titled ‘Josef’s Guide to Exploration’, the latest trailer is unsurprisingly all about…
You might think that Hewlett-Packard’s most important profit generator might be AI servers or cheap laptops, but you’d be wrong. Over half of HP’s annual profits last year were entirely down to its print division, with no small thanks to its Dynamic Security printer firmware upgrade that completely blocked all third-party ink cartridges. Cue yet…
In the latest wave of anti-ad blocker measures implemented by YouTube, AdBlock users have been reporting widespread performance issues with the extension enabled. In a thread posted to the YouTube subreddit over the weekend (thanks, 9to5Google) users noted that having AdBlock enabled caused slow load times and increased CPU usage, as one user writes: “This…
There’s nothing like a bit of heart-warming, cheery news to start a new year but the PC shipment estimates for 2023, from market analysts IDC and Gartner, are anything but cheery. The total number of units shipped varies between the two groups, with IDC estimating just under 260 million, whereas Gartner puts it at around…
Mamma mia! It has been a huge couple of years for Mario. There was the movie, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the Mario RPG and upcoming Thousand-Year Door remakes, an app on the LG TV Content Store, Super Nintendo Wor- wait a second, an LG app? Doesn’t sound very Nintendo-y, does it? That’s because it’s not….
