Jadedgamer was a mostly single page news website that allowed you to quickly scan headlines of the most popular news outlets. I liked to consider it the front-page of video game news.

Configuring Ghost CMS for Production On Digital Ocean

Configuring Ghost CMS for Production On Digital Ocean

Getting the Ghost CMS setup is a pretty painless process with the prebuilt Digital Ocean Droplet. Out of the box, it will server 99% of the majority of users well as a simple blog. But what about scaling and better asset hosting support? That's where it can get tricky.

Thank God, Next Year's 'Control' DLC Will Apparently Involve [Redacted] - VICE

The premise for ‘Control’ gives Remedy a chance to do almost everything, and they’re really gonna go for it.

I am beyond excited for this. Alan Wake continues to be one of my all time favorites, and knowing Control is set in the same universe makes the game so much more enjoyable.

KFC is making a Dating Sim

Sure, fine why not. The developer behind this has some experience making narrative-based games, so it won’t be terrible. Probably.

Eleven new games come to the Atari Lynx in 2019

Atari Gamer, has been running the Atari Lynx 30th Birthday Programming Competition over the past few months and we now have the final submissions! All eleven of them! That’s right, that’s eleven new games for you to play and rate. We do admit that some are very well polished and others are more on the tech demo side, but all are worth having a look at.

Admittedly, I never played the Lynx hardware when it came out, but I find it fascinating people are still developing games for the platform.

Respawn's Plan to Deal with Apex Legends Cheaters

Apex Legends developer Respawn is looking to deter cheating by forcing those who break the rules to play together.

Too bad they don’t take this concept one step further. If painted in the right light, this could be a huge opportunity for a hacking type of competition, much in the same vein of Facebook’s CTF [https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-ctf/facebook-ctf-is-now-open-source/525464774322241/] . They could even go so far as offering rewards for players who disclose exploits, as a sort

A Dark Room Removed From Switch eShop

In concept, it was a great idea to have a hidden high level code editor right there on a console as an easter egg. But in practice, this opens the console up to a slew of exploits. there’s no saying what kind of system access the editor really has, and players that do not know how to read code could potentially brick their systems.
