While You Were Sleeping

Morning all! Another day another um… dollar? I guess. Welcome to While You Were Sleeping where we round up the news coming in overnight.

So what did you miss? Not too much actually. This story might be my favourite. Turns out making games easier for broader audiences isn’t as new as you might think.

This is mental: Windows XP running on the Nintendo Famicom. Yep.

This is where Halo, Star Wars and Warhammer meet. And finally, if you’ve ever wanted to see the Attack On Titan opening sequence recreated with cats then boy do I have a post for you.
