You Can Play Floppy Disk Games On Your Phone

I don't mean "oh you can play old games on your phone", everyone knows that. I mean playing old games using an actual floppy disk drive.

This video by LGR shows how its done, using a phone's USB port to hook up a drive, get it working and read by the phone and then allowing you to play ancient PC games like, in this case, Commander Keen.

Obviously this is a guide for Android phones. This is... not really an iPhone kinda deal.

      I had the video muted, but when you mentioned that sound, it played perfectly in my head.

    I cannot wait to fire up Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Nothing says old school more than incessant disk swapping.

    I cannot recommend LGR enough if you're into retro PC gaming and gadgets. Clint does amazing work and it's one of my favourite Youtube channels.

Ninja Should Stream With Women

During a recent Samsung event, Twitch megastar Tyler “Ninja” Blevins said he purposely avoids streaming with “female gamers.” The site’s number-one streamer said that he believes if he invited women on his channel, the gossip mill would immediately begin cranking out videos suggesting that Ninja is in romantic relationships with them. On the one hand, he’s probably right about that. On the other hand, when you’re the most popular streamer on earth, everything you do has consequences.
