Gameplay. Reveal. Destiny 2. w00t!

Since the end of last year, video game companies have inundating us with high-tier (and some low-tier) game after game and it shows no sign of letting up now. We have Injustice 2, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2, The Surge, Prey, Persona 5, Fire Emblem, Tekken 7 and Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy….and as much as I want all these glorious things, tomorrow is the gameplay reveal for a game I’ve been waiting waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy too long long for.

DESTINY 2.

Everyone’s first person, space-fairing, shoot everything MMORPG about moon wizards and exotic items is FINALLY showing it’s super-polished, next-gen only face tomorrow on Twitch. It starts at 1pm here at B-More time. If you wanna watch somewhere you trust, I’ll link it below.

Project Scorpio

Microsoft is bringing some heat to this holiday season with a Xbox One configuration for whatever your pockets desire: the OG Xbox One, the 4K-equipped Xbox One S and its TRUE 4K, 6 TFLOPs supposed PS4 Pro Killer, Project Scorpio. 2 Consoles in one year? I hope your pockets can take it!

OG NES Emulator approved for Xbox One

Who the hell screwed this one up?! 

An emulator (software to run other software outside their native hardware) for one of the most CLASSIC video game systems of all time was just approved for release on the Xbox One Store. 

Lemme repeat this: An emulator for the ORIGINAL NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM was approved, to be released to the public on the WINDOWS/XBOX ONE STORE. 

Who decided it was a good day to get fired? Nintendo’s lawyers are probably swarming Microsoft right now! 

There’s no way this was gonna last for long.
