I know what you're thinking: "What's the point?" The N64 is way too old to support a peripheral like this, and furthermore, there doesn't... Read more...

AND FARTHARMORE YUO ARE A CLOWNBOAT!!!! I CHOOSE YOU JEFFQUE! TY!
In what I've personally recognized as the coolest thing ever, Something Awful has released a new Flash game. Essentially, it plays like Pokémon, starring game industry folks, Jeff K , and god knows who else. There's a couple other nods to other games in there... (recognize that battle intro music?)

GameFAQs does a kindly thing despite being treated like crap.
Check it out, GameFAQs is using it's valuable banner space for charity organizations while it's currently being affiliate-less. Way to go ^^ ! Apparently, your charity-ish thing can get shout outs, too, if you happen to run one.

The Xbox gets weaker. Hint: This is good news for Nintendo.
Man oh man oh man... and I thought console industry people were already notorious for overhyping and then somehow trying to keep a smile on their faces while admitting they came up short. Granted, X-Box will still be a powerful system without a doubt but between their apparent absolute Dreamcast rip-off... Read more...

Where he got them, we don’t know (and neither do IGN Pocket) but check ‘em out! They are the title screen, victory screen and character select screen of the game.
