I’m Adam Johnston, Creative Director at Bamtang games and I’m excited for everyone to start playing the sequel to Nickelodeon Kart Racers! We’ve made a lot of improvements and changes from the first game, and don’t worry – you don’t have to play the first game to understand what’s happening in part two. The biggest,…
Oh the times they are a-changin’. A few years ago, I don’t think I’d have predicted that HDDs, of all things, would be selling out, but here we are. According to TrendForce’s investigations, “nearline” HDDs are “facing severe supply shortages”, which is pushing cloud providers towards QLC SSDs. Nearline HDDs are ones used for infrequently…
