This week on Player Attack, EA lets the cat out of the bag, announcing Battlefield 4 a little earlier than anticipated. Developers come out in support of OUYA, while other indies suffer at the hands of Microsoft. An 18 year old dies following a marathon gaming session in Taiwan, games make splashes in Hollywood for a number of reasons and iPhone gamers meet Lili and play with cute trains. Steam is coming to Linux, JoJo gets another bizarre adventure, and Battlefield 3 makes sure it's not overshadowed by those sequel stories.
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
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.
