From Pixel Apocalypse...
"On this week’s episode of the Pixel Apocalypse Podcast Nathan Schmidt and Joe Anello discuss why they are giving The Last of Us a pass for the time being, and why High Moon Studio’s Deadpool is a study in video game duplicity. Microsoft is not packaging a headset with the Xbox One which leads to the second installment of Pixel Apocalypse Theatre. Never missing a chance to blow some momentum, Sony’s Playstation Network has some pricing issues this week. Finally, the boys wrap it up with some Wii U, and Ouya talk!"
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."
They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.
Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"
They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.
That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
You think that's good. I've got a scanner a $10 bill and a monochrome 24 pin dot matrix printer and I make $1500 an hour. All from just working a few hour at my computer. Now I just need some green crayons.
