Classic L337

No Man's Sky is shredded on a long reddit post outlining missing features promised throughout development, Nordic games rebranding as THQNordic, Metal Gear Survive Trailer is well received, AVGN is back with a Beavis and Butthead episode and GoldenEye: Source is very cool. Scott is becoming a true Castlevania fan and Dustin gets a lesser-known but very cool Genesis. Enjoy!

No Man's Sky is finally released, Nintendo (fairly, but unsurprisingly) shut down both Another Metroid 2 Remake (AM2R) and the Nintendo Power archive project at Archive.org. Plus, thanks to Duhmez we have a nice chat about the difference between Castlevania on the NES and MSX. Enjoy!

The first 13 years of Nintendo Power has appeared on Archive.org, Blizzard was hit with DDoS attacks possibly as backlash for their latest sweep of bans for cheaters, a man paid $1,300 for a leaked copy of No Mans Sky and we can't understand why, a Vita exploit was finally found and more! Enjoy!

In gaming news we talk about the return of The Retro League Podcast tournament, the NES mini, the Nintendo NX leaks from Eurogamer, Tim Sweeney being convinced of Microsoft intentionally patching Windows 10 to make Steam not work well, and Sports Illustrated laughable gaming section and more! Enjoy!

We give our thoughts on the NES Mini, Alicia Vikander confirming Tomb Raider movie story, Metal Jesus Rocks finding a N64 Disk Drive for the US, Ben Heck tearing down the Nintendo Playstation, The Arkade Kickstarter, Valve taking initial steps with CS:GO gambling sit shut downs and Terry Crews showing another reason why he is awesome.

Dustin finally played the Bloodstained Demo while Scott enjoyed some yard games and Blade Runner is brought up more than once. Enjoy!

We avoid politics and remissness about when arcades at the beach were awesome. It was a slower news week but still discuss a Ford Dealership lifting Firewatch's artwork, PSN deemed a person's real name to be offensive, Overwatch being more popular than LoL in South Korea, The Mana Pool Podcast missing Dustin, Activision being awesome in helping new vets, the 3D Nes Emulator's release, the insane story of GS:GO betting, and more!

Dustin had an awesome time watching Sony's conference in an iMax theatre while Scott enjoyed taking in Giant Bomb's stream of the events. Scott bought Duck Hunt and Gyromite carts in hopes that he'd find a Famicom adaptor inside but didn't have any luck. Dustin found a great deal on GOG.com for System Shock 2 and gives his impressions of the game since he didn't play it back in the day. We also talk about Blood Omen, Cannon Strike, Uncharted 4, The Order 1886, DOOM and more! Enjoy!

We discuss the odd Ford Fusion commercial with Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid 1, Bloodstained's demo, Ben Heck's power glove tear-down, The Witness on the NES, Techmo Bowl originally having penalties, Skyrim on potatoes
