Finally started The Evil Within this evening. Good Lord, what the hell did I get myself into? I can't count how many times I died in the chapter 1 introduction just trying to run away from the chainsaw guy. Oh, this does not bode well for me.

RE7 is on the list, but not for a while. I'm so late to the party on the PS4 that there's a substancial library of good games for under $20. So I'm going full-on hobo gamer for a while. In the meantime, I'm going to struggle and cry like a bitch with Evil Within, and then go back to my safe space and play SFV when I'm too scared.

The torn apart switch appears to be an early and defective test unit, that may have been made to comply with the FCC listing. The Switch the german site opened had a different thermal spreader.

What is interesting is that the torn apart one further corroborates the Foxconn leak so it will be interesting to see if their clockspeeds check out and if there is this other more powerful version/devkit or dock.

Also good to know the X1 in the new shield is a new revision of the old X1, so maybe Switch is using that. But the serial numbers and codes on the switch chips seem to indicate that it is a custom design. According to GAF anyway.

Hell yeah you could get a badass library of 100 games for under $20 each at this point.

I thought that this was kind of common knowledge about discs.  It seems like something I've read about at least a decade ago.

Yeah I remember reading about a long time ago too. Very troubling nonetheless.

Yep, it's an inevitability. I've seen it with a few of my very oldest music CD's. You can slow it down from happening by storing them in those sealable plastic bins (giant Tupperware containers), and keeping them in a cool place. But eventually the grim reaper is still going to come for your PS1 library.

I read about it before too, but it's all getting a little bit too real. I buy physical media on the understanding that I will store it and hardly use it and it will be there and working when I'm 90.

Knowing that all my CDs and DVDs could be degrading even now as we speak is just too scary.

German site opens and reviews a Switch

this is funny. They had the parcel and did a facebook livestream. Opened it up, then opened the switch box. Started going through it. Midway through they noticed there was a letter there. They picked it up and read it..... turns out that was the NDA letter, the one which prohibited them from showing Switch outside its box.

So any other game that you've downloaded on other services will? Nyaa

I officially own my first shitty game for the PS4. My son has a friend that lives in North Carolina, and when he found out we had the new system he sent him a copy of his favorite multi-player game so that the two of them could play together. The game..... Assassin's Creed Unity.  Can I assume they've patched this thing up since its release?

Yeah I think that Unity has been fixed with patches by now.

What's wrong with Unity?  I personally like that they took the triply sci-fi route.
