This video is dedicated to the moment we fell in love with video games. It took us all day and lots of googling to find what the game was. It was long ago and the long term memory had to be jostled around but we found it.
Welcome to Atari's Starship 1, circa 1977
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
I ilke articles like this. My first was either Golden Axe or Super Mario on a cocktail machine, but I can't remember which was first. Mega Man on the NES is what got me hooked though.
I legit can't remember the first game I played in an arcade. But I can remember watching my dad play Donkey Kong, Popeye and Elevator Action all the time so I imagine it must of been one of those. Home consoles wise that's easy. It was SMB/Duck Hunt.
I also ilke old school articles like this. My first was Sramble, and i loved it. Even the fuel had to be monitored... :)
