So what's all this then? An Atari hand-held evidently?

The Atari MyArcade GameStation handheldHoly crap it has both a rollball and dial controller built in

When Gamestation Go might launch is anyone's guess at the moment, though Atari plans to share more during the Consumer Electronics Show, which kicks off on Jan. 7, 2025.

Hard to see the use case if it is just serving up first party Atari games.  We'll see I guess. If they were smart it will support antstream and XB Game Pass, but what's the odds of it having the specs to support XB? (I am thinking zero).

Sir, it offers an on-the-go play with a roll bar and dial controller. This means we have accurate ways to play Kaboom, Asteroids, and Crystal Castles. What on Earth do we need anything else for? If they find a way to throw in accurate versions of Arkanoid and Marble Madness while they're at it, they may have given us one of the great handhelds of all time.

Are Myarcade products good? I figured them to be similar Atgames, with low quality hardware and bad emulation, but I've never owned one of their products.

Half-Life 3 Rumors Ramp Up After G-Man Voice Actor Issues Cryptic Tweet — His First in Years

YES! I BELIEVE!

I decided to try South Park: The Fractured But Whole which is on the Game Pass.  I bought it for the Switch a few years ago and it just didn't gel with me, though I loved the original. I ended up selling my copy. This time, for some reason, I am having a blast and really enjoying it.

Yeah I think it's going to happen.

I never considered the option that it would not be OLED.  Geez, they'd have to at least have it as an option.

Same. It would feel like a downgrade at this moment. I've never experienced playing on an Oled screen and am looking forward to it.

Can someone explain the world of Duke Nukem?




I get old Doom, demons on Mars.




But this has weird mutants and pigs dressed as LAPD cops and human female strippers?




What's the back story here?

Duke Nukem is a spoof on 80s action movies in video game form. It's an alien invasion story wherein all of the enemies are either aliens or humans that aliens have possessed (e.g., pig cops) to steal our babes (women).

Can someone explain this?


My old dvd player started coming on, by itself then cutting out with an error by itself.


It kept happening until I pulled the cord.


When I looked there was a pool of water underneath it. It wasn't cat piss and no one had spilled anything near it.


None of the other electronics surrounding it had any liquid coming out of it.


I wiped off the liquid, went upstairs, came back down a fee mins later and more water had come out.


There was no water dripping from the ceiling or anything.


It was cold last night, with snow this morning that has all melted within an hour.


I've never had water condensing inside an electronic device which then leaks. The player is quite old now, over 10 years probably.

You may have a ghost, or maybe a large capacitor inside the player ruptured; electrolyte fluid can leak and damage the circuit board. I've never heard of them pooling up outside the case, though.
