Slack, the cloud-based chat platform used by individuals and companies around the world to communicate, collaborate, and say “holy shit” to each other when interesting or stupid things happen, is down. And yes, for those of you who, like us, use Slack for professional purposes, that means nobody’s watching and you can now safely make…

Street Fighter II’s incredible success in the early ’90s saw it (or one of its many incremental sequels) ported to a wide range of different systems, including the SNES, Mega Drive, 3DO PC Engine, Game Boy, Amiga and more. One platform that sadly lacked any Street Fighter II action was the Philips CD-i,…
Some of my colleagues might poke fun at me for this, mouse-on-desk heathens that they are, but I used to be a bit of an obsessive freak over mouse pads—they’re important, okay? It’s been a long time since I fanned that flame, so it was with an almost audible ‘uh oh’ that I looked upon…
