This weekend I found myself in search of a power cord for an original Playstation. It's the same plug that the Sega Dreamcast and Saturn and Sony PS2 use, and probably the Xbox as well, but it seems like online almost everyone wants $10 for a suitable replacement.

I found a cheaper option.

The big-time gamers are all up in arms over John C. Dvorak's assertion that the game industry is dying. But he's right an awful lot more than he's wrong.

The games aren't nearly as original as they used to be.

I just happened to check this afternoon, and Railroad Tycoon 3 went into stores yesterday.

I was playing Railroad Tycoon II on my girlfriend's brother's computer (had to test it out after rebuilding it, y'know), and I thought to check something. And I see that Take 2 has announced Railroad Tycoon III will be out the second half of this year.
