Game Boy Camera mod makes it the size of a cartridge

Pixelated perfection There’s something enamoring about the 1998 Game Boy Camera. Sure, it wasn’t a photographer’s best friend, but its all-in-one camera and software made it a delightful piece of tech from Nintendo. It turned a handheld game console into a digital camera for budding photographers. Even 25 years later, theGame Boy Camera is still being celebrated. But few support the quirky device more thanChristopher Graves, who recently reworked the entire thing to fit into a (basically) standard-size Game Boy cartridge....

Netflix pioneered the current age of streaming services, which (at least partially) was responsible for the downfall of physical media stores like Blockbuster. However, Netflix is now trying its luck with physical store locations, as the company just confirmed in aBloombergreport.

I'm Convinced The MCU Now Has The Perfect Excuse To Make An 84-Year-Old Part Of The Comics A Movie Reality

Only a few years before Marvel Studios' firstX-Menmovie, theMCUintroduced a famousX-Men location that Fox’s movies never explored.Fox’s fourteenX-Menfilmsintroduced dozens of Marvel characters, from Riptide and Spike to Jean Grey and Professor X. Yet, Fox’sX-Menfranchise didn’t pay much attention to the X-Men’s iconic locations. For instance, Genosha, Asteroid M, the White Hot Room, and the Southeast Asian island Madripoor never made an appearance in any of the films. After Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson and Hugh Jackman’s Logan brought the X-Men world to the MCU inDeadpool & Wolverine, and following the X-Men’s clash with the Avengers inAvengers: Doomsday,Avengers: Secret Warswill likely establish a way for Marvel Studios to reboot the X-Men and integrate all mutant and mutant-related characters into the MCU’s main timeline....

It’s time to put Way to the Woods on your radar

Loving this color palette Way to the Woodsis just the little pick-me-up I needed on a tired Monday morning. It’s a game about deer exploring a world seemingly abandoned by humans, and simply put, it’s lovely. I particularly like the giant cat’s sewer lair. That’s such a fun idea. “I’m an old, old 18-year-old man now but at least I have [a] trailer and new screenshots for you guys,” creator Anthony Tan said in an update today....

K-Mart: Bayonetta, Final Fantasy XIII, AvP for $29.99

Blue Light Special! Nah, I don’t really know if this is a real blue light special. All I know is that K-Mart used to have a bit of negativity attached to their name back in the day. “You got those jeans at K-Mart? Eww!.” Now I think the kids are calling Wal-Mart the new K-Mart, despite the company being the largest one ever to have existed. Regardless of what you think about either retailer, K-Mart has some sweet game deals....

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is a ton of fun

HULK LEGO SMASH! I am so jealous of kids growing up this day and age. They have the coolest videogame consoles, the Internet, iPads, and nowLEGO Marvel Super Heroes.
