This seems WAY too early to happen. We can't even reliably get spacecraft off the ground without the occasional hiccup, let alone transport passengers to space hotels.

metal gear solid 2 and 3 are still gone from the PS3 and xbox live digital stores because they haven't renewed the license to use historical footage, and it just makes me all the more thankful i bought the collection physically.

I never really got into MGS. I tried playing the HD Collection that came out on the Xbox 360 but it just didn't stick.

mega man artist and mega man x creator keiji inafune has decided to jump into the NFT bandwagon, kicking off a mismash mess of a character. i guess if he already buried himself in a hole with the mighty no. 9 game, he may as well just go deeper and never stop.

Hey gang, Mickey here, and I wanted to tell you about an exciting contest at The Retro Network.

Next month, we are running an event titled TRN Summer Camp. A big part of this event is a writing contest. We're looking for entries of essays/articles about people's nostalgic memories of summer's past. It can be anything...old summer vacations, hanging out with friends, road trips, hobbies they enjoyed, old blockbuster movies, anything summer that you're nostalgic for...whatever!

This being a contest, we are also awarding prizes for the three best entries. First prize is a $75 Amazon gift card + another possible prize to be named soon, 2nd place is a $25 Amazon gift card + another possible prize to be named soon, and 3rd place will receive a TRN Prize pack + another possible prize to be named this week.

So if you're interested, head over to https://theretronetwork.com/summercamp/ for all the details!

I'm part of that generation of kids from 1959 to 1969 that grew up with the Golden Book Encyclopedia.

Golden Book is the famous series that was available in grocery stores, a different volume on special every week.



Loved these books as a kid, but by my high school years I realized there's something odd about the covers.

Each cover was a glossy, high-saturation, image that almost looked 3D in the depth of field!



But, looking at an actual volume in your hands, if you stare at it long enough, the image takes on an eerie quality.

Each volume cover starts to look like a random collection of Earth artifacts, assembled by an extraterrestrial museum curator
