  Gearbox Software Forums are Closing

  Discord is not a substitute for forums, but alas.
  
  Gearbox Software announces that they will be shuttering their forums. The process has already started to happen with old sections being converted to read-only a few days ago.
  
  Gearbox notes that users will have about 30 days to save any old posts they want to keep for whatever reason. Later this summer, it is expected that Gearbox Software will launch a new website and when that time comes, the forums will cease to exist....

  The Technology Behind Online Casinos

  Typically, the tech needed to run online casinos banks on skill sets, so specialized development has to be outsourced to dedicated game developers. Digital casinos have evolved considerably. From the days of offering compatibility with only desktop computers, it's now hugely possible for you to play away anytime you prefer with your apps on your smartphone.
  
  For a casino to operate, however, it needs to obtain prior licensing from an appropriate authority. These bodies enforce the u...

  Cole's Legacy DLC for inFAMOUS Second Son is Now Available for Free

  Now is your chance to get the elusive DLC.
  
  When Infamous Second Son (stylized as inFAMOUS) first came out in 2014, it offered a small piece of DLC that bridged the gap between the span of time between Infamous 2 and the events of Second Son. This DLC was called Cole's Legacy and the only way that you could obtain this content was to have pre-ordered the game in the US or purchased the Special Edition elsewhere in the world. At least in Europe, the DLC was available to purchase separately...

  First Look at Yakuza 8 Comes from an MMA Fighter

  It looks like the band is getting back together.
  
  The first look at Yakuza 8 (or whatever it ends up being called) has appeared online from one of the most unlikely of sources. A behind the scenes video from MMA fighter and YouTuber Mikuru Asakura took fans inside the inner workings of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. During the lengthy video tour, we got a quick glimpse of Yakuza: Like a Dragon stars Ichiban Kasuga, Koichi Adachi, and Yu Nanba all together in a new game.

  John Romero is Making a New Game

  John Romero is about to make Unreal Engine 5 his-- oh, who are we kidding.
  
  As one of the key figures behind such standout franchises like Doom, Quake, Heretic, and er... Daikatana, John Romero is no stranger to the gaming industry. The last game he worked on, Empire of Sin, came out back in 2020 to some rather tepid reviews. Some bad reviews don't keep a good Romero down (again, Daikatana says hello), which is why Romero is looking to create a new first-person shooter.

  Information on the long-awaited sequel.

  Those looking to pre-order the game digitally can do so through My Nintendo Store. I am giving you permission to use My Nintendo Store, so use it wisely....

  Progress is apparently being made on adding Steam integration into Tesla dashboards. This is according to a recent tweet by Elon Musk that states the electric car company is "making progress" on the integration and that they are possibly going to start testing it as early as August.
  
  Hey, let's just hope that this largely unnecessary feature isn't coming at the sacrifice of oh, I don't know, making sure that the cars stop crashing into...

  Poll: Have You Ever Raged Because of a Game?

  5 Voters

  Yes, I've raged. Full on broken controller & hole in wall levels of rage.	20.00%	1 vote
  Yes, I've raged but without any sort of property damage.	80.00%	4 votes
  No / can't remember. I'm as calm as a cucumber even when the odds are stacked against me.	0%	0 votes

  The poll is expired.

  Broken controllers, holes in walls, excessive yelling and swearing.
  
  While I'm sure we would all like to consider ourselves here calm, cool, and collected that might not always hold true when playing a frustrating game. Maybe you're having a particularly frustrating day, and nothing is going your way. Maybe your teammates (and totally not you) are doing terrible and you're losing a multiplayer game because of it. Maybe you just died for the 50th time to a boss that did some unblockable...
