What If Pong, But Really Long?


If you ever play me in Pong, you will win. Atari’s simple 1972 game is like Dark Souls-level hard to me; I’ve no idea how anyone can react that fast. But, finally, there might be a version of the game with a screen wide enough that I’d have time to respond. It’s currently located in the UK in...

40+ Weird Vintage Video Game Ads We Can’t Stop Thinking About

In a recent, wide-ranging interview with late-night host Stephen Colbert, uber-successful director Steven Spielberg talked about his family, his long career, and his love of films. But we aren’t here to talk about that. Instead, what’s that over there behind you Stephen and Steven? Is that…oh yup....

Carolyn Petit’s Top 5 Games Of 2022


In recent years, it’s become harder and harder for me to make the kinds of in-depth, year-end personal best lists that I once prided myself on. That newfound difficulty is for one reason: I’m not playing as many games. This year, there are so many games I either didn’t play at all or didn’t spend...

Atari’s Shambling, Zombie Corpse Is Once Again In Trouble


Is it that time already? Atari, whatever that name actually means, is once again announcing it’s having a financial wobble. You could set your watch by how regularly this occurs. Who could have thought that launching a console no one wanted, while investing in crypto grifts, wasn’t the path...

Tesla Drivers Can Now Play Steam Games Inside Their Cars


Professional boss baby Elon Musk has a lot of…unique ideas (his recent decision to just stop paying rent on Twitter’s office as a “cost-cutting” measure stands among them), but at least he isn’t afraid to commit to the bit. After nearly a year of Musk imagining a Valve-compatible Tesla,...
