A Nintendo Playstation just sold at auction for $300,000 (£230,700). Yes, you heard me right, a Nintendo Playstation:

I've heard of it, although I don't think I knew there was a prototype. Thanks for sharing that.

It's like the gaming world's equivalent of the Ark of the Covenant. I bet if you open the CD drive that some angry angels of death will come flying out. Shut your eyes guys.

If I'd have known you could just talk Legate Lanius into fucking off, I'd have run this Charisma build 10 years ago.

It's infinitely more satisfying to just kill him.

Probably. Point being, I couldn't. Guy is like a human Deathclaw, and I was a squishy bitch. After he kicked my ass for the 5th time, I decided for the diplomatic approach.

I did vaporize General Oliver and his bitch ass NCR guys when they showed up to congratulate me. Made me feel better.

[The first Galactic Republic]

He’s kinda underwhelming if you’ve done all the DLC content before facing him.

I distinctly remember melting him into goo in about five seconds.

If you leave the Hoover Dam missions until the very end, after you have done all the DLC and got the most powerful armour and weapons combos in the game, then the Legion drop like flies and Lanius ends up getting totally rekt too.

I ain't got no DLC. Hell, I don't even technically have the game. I grabbed it off the game pass.

Truth be told, I don't think I've ever downloaded a DLC for the modern Fallout games. 3, New Vegas or 4.

So I just rage-quit Xcom 2 for the 20th time this week.
How are ya'll doing?

I started doing raids in Destiny 2, and finished the seasonal badge.

I'm sort of tempted to claim/order the physical badge pin before it becomes unavailable at the end of the season.

>not putting 200 points into unarmed and punching lanius to death with boxing tape

That's a bit like getting half the game at this point. Hope you can at least mod it.

[Ameriganastan]

>not putting 200 points into unarmed and punching lanius to death with boxing tape

Well, that's what Veronica is for. Her and ED-E do most of the work really. I barely have to shoot half the time. So since they covered that, I put all my points into lockpicking, speech and science. Worked well up until I ran into Lanius.

That's a bit like getting half the game at this point. Hope you can at least mod it.

I don't know how to mod.

Started downloading Watch Dogs and while waiting finished up my 3rd playthrough of Fallen Order.

Honest, the DLC expands the games so much in terms of the lore.

I'm waiting for Doom Eternal, cause I finally bothered to beat DOOM after 4 years. Good game, let's hope the same for Eternal.

Also I'm waiting for the Railjack fixes. Since I'm on PS4, this could take a while, good thing I got lots of college stuff to do.

So I've heard. Me, I've just never been a huge DLC guy. I think the last one I bought was Lair Of The Shadow Broker from ME2.

relying on companions is weakness

Vortex+LOOT makes it p. easy.

Just rage quit an Endless Space 2 campaign, so I guess it's a good night for that kind of thing.

Probably. But I don't mind.

A Nintendo Playstation just sold at auction for $300,000 (£230,700). Yes, you heard me right, a Nintendo Playstation:

The only "Nintendo PlayStation" ever publicly auctioned has sold for $300,000 (£230,700).

The ultra-rare prototype was the offspring of a short-lived collaboration between Nintendo and Sony, and was supposed to add CD-ROM support to the Super Nintendo.

Sony went on to create its own wildly successful PlayStation brand.

Heritage Auctions said it might be the last remaining Nintendo prototype, as the others were probably destroyed.

"People had kind of heard about this story - Nintendo and Sony partnering up to make the next, or the sequel to, the Super Nintendo," said Conor Clarke of the National Videogame Museum in Sheffield.

"But nobody really had confirmation that it existed. So it was mythical."

That status, he said, may explain why it is now the most expensive gaming object ever.

Or possibly a real live Metroid that will destroy us all.

I just met a friendly Super Mutant at a ski-lodge, and he sounds like Worf.

Fallout is a trip sometimes.

Because it is Worf! Michael Dorn plays the Super Mutant Marcus at the Ski Lodge.
