| Nintendo is bringing back the NES Classic on June 29th Posted: 13 May 2018 06:21 PM PDT  Nintendo has announced the date for its re-release of its re-release of the NES, the NES Classic Edition. The console, which sold out immediately upon its debut in November 2016, will return to store shelves on June 29th, and Nintendo expects it — along with the SNES Classic Edition — to be available through the end of the year, Nintendo is also including 20 NES games with updated multiplayer features as part of its online subscription service for the Switch, set to launch this September. But it's clear that there's huge demand for these dedicated retro mini consoles — the company recently announced that it sold over 5 million units of the SNES Classic. This may well be one reason why there's no Virtual Console download store for the... |
| HQ is partnering with The Voice for a special game on Monday Posted: 13 May 2018 01:47 PM PDT  NBC's talent show The Voice is partnering with trivia app HQ for a special game on Monday, May 14th at 11:30 PM ET, 8:30PM PT. Players will have a chance to win $50,000 and a trip to the TV show's season finale on May 21st in Las Vegas. HQ's trivia host Scott Rogowsky will make an appearance on Monday night's episode of the talent show, (which airs at 8:00PM ET) NBC says that the episode will contain hints for that night's trivia game. Monday night's HQ game will likewise contain some cross-promotion: Voice coaches Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton will join Rogowsky later that night. The trivia app has hosted special games before — In March, it partnered with Warner Bros. with a Ready Player One game, and last month, Dwayne "The Rock"... |
| UK newsstands will sell ‘porn passes’ to verify ages under new laws Posted: 13 May 2018 11:52 AM PDT  Last year, Britain approved the Digital Economy Act 2017, which included strict new rules regarding access to pornographic websites. When the law goes into effect later this year, regulators have suggested that users will be able to purchase a so-called "porn pass," from their local newsstand to verify their age. The law will require websites to verify the users ages, or face stiff penalties. Those who don't comply risk being blocked by internet service providers, and would face fines of up to £250,000 ($350,000). However, the implementation of those rules have been delayed to give the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) more time to draft its guidelines. Once it does so, those new guidelines will require approval from... |
| President Trump says that he is working to get ZTE ‘back into business, fast’ Posted: 13 May 2018 10:17 AM PDT  President Donald Trump says that he is working with Chinese President Xi Jinping to find a way for Chinese telecom company to "get back into business, fast," following last week's announcement that it was pausing its "major operating activities." ZTE said in a filing that it has just enough cash to remain afloat if it pauses operations following a US ban on exports to the company in April. Last month, The US Department of Commerce banned exports to the company for seven years, saying that it failed to uphold the terms of a plea agreement after it pled guilty to breaking sanctions against Iran and North Korea. The company said that this ban would "severely impact the survival and development of ZTE," and that it's been in talks with the... |
| The cryptocurrency attack featured on Silicon Valley is real, but it doesn’t work like that Posted: 13 May 2018 10:00 AM PDT  Spoilers for the trailer of Silicon Valley's season finale. Tonight's Silicon Valley season finale is titled "Fifty-One Percent," and according to the trailer for the episode, it features a crazy twist centered on what's called a 51 percent attack. This is when an organized group of cryptocurrency miners achieve a majority on a blockchain network, which enables them to hold the network hostage and disrupt it in various ways. On the show, Pied Piper's enemies start joining the blockchain network until they reach a 51 percent consensus, which gives them the power to "delete all of our users, all of our developer apps, crash our coin. This would be the end of Pied Piper," explains Dinesh. The 51 percent attack does exist in the real world... |
| God of War’s goofy new photo mode is a lot of fun Posted: 13 May 2018 09:00 AM PDT  I've always found built-in photo modes for games intimidating, much like a high-end DSLR camera. I don't know the first thing about perspective or lighting, and fiddling with all of these various aspects of a video game screenshot just isn't much fun. People can make amazing photos with these tools, but I, sadly, am not one of them. All I really want to do is make Kratos smile — thankfully that's now an option. A few weeks after the new God of War first launched on the PlayStation 4, Sony has updated the game with a much-requested photo mode. And it's pretty powerful, letting you shift the camera and alter multiple aspects of the image to create something cool. For me, though, the most exciting feature is the ability to change Kratos'... |
| Hyundai, Nintendo, and Sony have updated their warranties following warnings from the FTC Posted: 13 May 2018 08:19 AM PDT  Six major hardware manufacturers received warning letters from the US Federal Trade Commission earlier this month, which stated that their warranties might conflict with US law. In response, Nintendo and Sony have announced that they will update their policies, according to US Gamer. The six companies were ASUS, HTC, Hyundai, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony. The FTC warned them that their respective warranties, which specified that consumers couldn't use third-party parts, accessories, or if "warranty seals" were removed, might violate the law. US Gamer reports that Sony and Nintendo have responded to the letter by updating their policies: Nintendo issued a statement saying that it will honor warranties "for defects not caused by the user... |
| The Librarian is a game that feels like a poem Posted: 13 May 2018 08:00 AM PDT  It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend. When presented with different points of information, the human brain naturally tries to fill in the gaps. A number of games take advantage of this, like indie game Gone Home. When you start the game you enter a massive home only knowing that your family lives there, and that they mysterious aren't there. The rest of the experience is spent piecing together why everyone is gone, based on what information you find both out in the open and hidden throughout the house. It uses these gaps in your understanding to engage the... |
| A futurist imagines the Earth populated exclusively by the 1 percent Posted: 13 May 2018 07:00 AM PDT  Science fiction is often pretty bad at predicting the future: rather, it's a better barometer of the present. But every now and again, an author establishes a reputation for insight into what the future might hold. One such author is Canadian writer and futurist Karl Schroeder, whose new book The Million comes out this summer. In this far future tale, Earth is populated and ruled exclusively by super-rich individuals — one million of them, to be exact. Every 30 years they allow the rest of humankind to return to the planet for a single month, but the rest of the time they forbid the presence of outsiders in their fabulous utopia. One such outsider is Gavin Penn-of-Chaffee, an illegal child raised in secret. After his adoptive father is... |
| MIT built a self-driving car that can navigate unmapped country roads Posted: 13 May 2018 06:00 AM PDT  Taking the road less traveled is extremely difficult for self-driving cars. Autonomous vehicles rely on highly visible lane markings, as well as detailed 3D maps in order to navigate their environment safely. Which is why most of the major companies have eschewed testing on unmapped rural roads in favor of suburbs and cities. Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a new system that allows self-driving cars to drive on roads they've never been on before without 3D maps. Called MapLite, the system combines simple GPS data that you'd find on Google Maps with a series of sensors that observe the road conditions. This allowed... |
