Someone Used The Game Boy Accessory To Take A Picture Of Jupiter
We get a lot of emails here at Time Extension. For the most part, these fall into two categories: nuisance emails from individuals trying to inject predatory, unrelated gambling links into some of our articles, and spam messages from PR companies we’ve never heard of, who have never read the site before and want us to cover their latest AI & loot-box-infested MMOs.
Every so often, though, we’ll find gold: an email from someone who clearly understands what we’re all about, the latest of which is from the director, musician, and video game fan Chris Graue, whose SNES tripod project we’ve previously covered on the site.
As Graue states, since we last covered his latest project, he’s been a busy chap, and is now “back with more dumb Game Boy Camera BS,” having created a telescope adapter for the rudimentary Game Boy camera, to let him take a picture of Jupiter.
This Power Bank Has Become A Daily Driver For My Switch, AYANEO And Steam Deck
While handheld gaming has come on leaps and bounds in recent years, with devices like Switch 2, Steam Deck and AYANEO 3 offering AAA performance in the palm of your hand, there’s been one big limiting factor across all of these products: battery life.
The shiny new INIU Cougar P63 is one of the roomiest power banks yet seen – and here’s why you should give it a look.
Infamous Kickstarter ‘Project Phoenix’ Is Alive, But It Might Not Be Out Until 2031
Back in 2013, a Kickstarter campaign was launched for the ambitious Project Phoenix, a JRPG helmed by Hiroaki Yura. It would smash its funding goal and earn $1,014,600, yet, over a decade later, it remains unreleased.
Amazingly, Yura has confirmed that the game is back in production – although it won’t be launching any time soon.
Speaking in an interview with VGC, Yura goes some way to explaining exactly what went wrong with the campaign.
Last week, the publisher Pix’n Love Games shared a tease for an “explosive” upcoming announcement related to the Metal Slug series, telling its followers to “Get ready to head back into battle with Marco, Tarma, Fio, and Eri…”
With little more to go on than that, fans online inevitably got hyped about the possibility of a new game announcement, with many hoping for a fresh Metal Slug Anthology Collection for modern platforms, ahead of the new game’s release.
It seems, however, that they were way off base with their predictions, with this “explosive” announcement turning out to be a new tabletop board game, based on the run ‘n gun series that will be heading to crowdfunding sites in the future.
As you’re no doubt aware, Sony has caused quite a kerfuffle with the announcement that it is ending the production of physical media for its PlayStation 5 console in 2028, and intends to make its next machine a totally digital proposition.
The fallout of this news has been dramatic, with petitions appearing online in the vain hope of convincing Sony to change course – but sadly, the chances of that are almost non-existent, as the world of video gaming is now dominated by digital distribution.
In this piece, Damien explains his conflicted feelings on the sunsetting of physical media.
