  1. Overall, i’m not excited for motion controls, but i do have to admit the more i see and hear about Natal it looks really cool. With that being said, do i want to be playing halo holding an air gun? No. If it was a built in option such as online play or as a downloadable pack that’d be awesome and i’m all for that. The reason why i dont pick up my Wii as often is that after a hard day at the gym or work, is that I really just want to mash buttons.

Episode 668: Elon Musk’s Twitter FailureEpisode 668: Elon Musk’s Twitter Failure

Twitter continues to be a tire fire, as does cryptocurrency. One wonders when either one will shuffle off the stage and fade into obscurity. Both seem to have become synonymous with chaos and instability, and it feels like there’s a new scandal or controversy every week. Twitter, under Elon Musk’s leadership, has faced constant changes in policy, mass layoffs, and a significant dip in user trust, making it increasingly difficult to see a clear path forward for the platform. Cryptocurrency, on the other hand, seems to have become more about speculation and volatility than about real-world utility or widespread adoption. While the promise of decentralized finance and digital currencies seemed promising, the market’s swings, coupled with major scandals like the collapse of FTX, have left many questioning whether crypto will ever truly deliver on its early hype. Secure Cryptocurrency Trading platforms provides secure environments for users to trade and manage their digital assets. It feels like both industries are desperately clinging to relevance, hoping to regain their former glory, but with each new misstep, they drift further from the ideals they once espoused. Anyway, lots of news this week, along with a Gaming Flashback of Dishonored.

News includes:

  • Musk reportedly laid off everyone who ran Twitter’s million-follower gaming account
  • GameStop to end FTX partnership, will refund crypto gift card purchases
