    I'm one step ahead of you. I've never used GitHub in my life, much less had an account there.

    Github is not a nonprofit.

    Github is a profit.

    I second this idea, with the addition of seeing the 3D girls of Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball dressed in swimsuits walking around and the possibility of picking one of them to be your AI assistant.

    That's nothing compared to the problems a flamethrower would cause to marshmallows.

    An Indiegogo campaign this week seeking $100,000 in pre-orders has already raised over $2.2 million from 8808 backers.

    Damn. It would have been funny if there had been 720 or 722 less backers.

    I've also never heard of any Intel integrated GPU that died or desoldered itself because of overheating, making Intel integrated GPU the safest route for non-gaming computers, especially laptops.

    No can do, it goes against "uncompromised performance".

  14. Is news like this story a sign that we've reached Peak Internet at some point, and we're on the downhill side of it now?

    Good. That means that in a few years, only nerds will use it, ads will become useless, news will be based on facts and stupid users like me won't post crap anymore.

    Oh wait.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who hated those side buttons.

    As for your idea, that'd be an interesting controller setup and probably a lot more usable than the original ones.

    Unless, since it's going to be a custom console, they'll be able to use the dirt-cheap TFT LCDs with touchscreens and built-in memory.

    So you start a game and its overlay appears on the controllers. Since the touch areas are always fixed squares in a 3x4 grid the only hard part is displaying the overlays when the game loads.

    At the time, videogames were a lot less popular and millions of units sold was impressive.

    That's also why Nintendo's retro consoles did not sell at all.
