New Handheld from Sega, Don’t Worry, It’s only A Portable Genesis

Remember when Sega had to pull out of the hardware game?  I don’t.  I wiped that memory from my head when Peter Moore became a big part of Microsoft before he moved over to EA.  (Well, I didn’t want it to all happen again…)

Well, now you’ll be able to relive your favorite Mega Drive/ Genesis titles all over again with this fangled new device called the Retro Gen.  Apparently, the Retro Gen is being developed by Innex, the hardware developers that created the Wii controller adapter that would let you use old Nintendo controllers from your NES, SNES and N64, so they’re pretty versed in how to work with old/ retro devices.

What’s cool about this little handheld though, is that it doesn’t only play retro games, but liscenced download games too, so there’ll be some original stuff appearing on it for you to get into, if there are space in your pockets for it.

If you’re up for supporting a small company get their stuff sold, pay $50 on the US on July 25, and get your N64 on!

Don’t forget to flush

I was looking at the guns and huge knives while Carlos was in the bathroom. He came out and told me I had to see something. I went in and I’m glad I did. What I saw was hilarious. In the toilet of the handicapped stall was a collection of dated (I really mean dated) “Call of Duty” games. PS2, mostly. Who would do such a thing? Well, a thief obviously who didn’t want to trigger an alarm.
