And I see AMD's desktop GPU market share continue to slip and think to myself "maybe this is not a coincidence."

So Friday was Pac-Man's 35th Anniversary. ArcadeHeroes did a cool writeup on Pac-Man arcade games through the ages. Personally, I'm more of a fan of the cool Pac-Man merch that came out where we got stuff like this

As old as time itself, a new major game comes out and AMD is back to whining about how their cards aren't good enough and they can't build drivers worth a damn. This right here is a good beatdown on AMD being AMD.

• Arrowhead is very sorry that their Gauntlet game is a big steaming pile of excrement and they're going to revamp it.

• Rememeber Lizard Squad? Yeah, one of those shit stains plead guilty to 23 counts of swatting people online.

• Here is EA's teaser of a teaser to a Need For Speed reboot. I'm okay with more Underground

• Well, Casey Hudson is back in the news as he has taken a job at MS to be the creative director for Hololens games. Outside of the ending to Mass Effect 3, that's a very interesting hire IMO.

• Konami: Mobile Is gaming's future. Konami a little slow on the uptake.

• Koji Igarashi: The the shift to mobile is inevitable.

• During their quarterly report, Take Two announced that they're going to shift more to mobile.

• I don't have a link but IDC is forecasting 115m consoles sold by end of the generation which would be a 60% contraction compared to last gen. I personally think that's a little optimistic (I always said about 100m) but they're the gold standard that everyone uses.

Cue the crying like a 6 year old with a skinned knee about how you're going to leave gaming because you're too old or that there will always be consoles because magic.

Splatoon (WiiU) - Well, after 3 months of nothingness, WiiU owners finally get another game to play on their consoles and from the impressions from the betas, it's a good game hampered by the lack of voice chat. This is the type of game Nintendo should have been making the last decade for the western market.

Magica 2 (PC, PS4) - I really didn't like the first game, it was shallow with the only fun being on accidentally killing your teammates which frankly isn't something that lasts longer than a half hour. Thankfully this isn't being made by Arrowhead buy rather the dev team behind the Leviathan: Warships game, a game with good marketing but was mediocre. This also the first game part of the exclusivity deal that Sony and Paradox announced last year at E3. I would be lying if I didn't say I'm curious in if the price on the PC drops like a rock like the first game (it was in pretty much every bargin bin bundle on the planet).
