One of the more recent developments in gaming is the concept of cross-saves/cross-progression. This feature allows you to pick up and play a game and keep the same same file/game progression no matter which platform you’re playing on! For example, with the game Hades, you can play a few hours…
It’s pretty amazing what crafty creatives have been able to conjure up with the Lego Super Mario sets and Mario Kart Live Home Circuit. The crafters over at Playfool are especially adept at using the sets to their fullest, having reverse-engineered the barcodes that make the Lego Super Mario sets…

Looking back over the last 12 months, 2020 has… certainly not been what anyone expected. Sure, we all had a calendar filled with events, video game release dates, the opening of Super Nintendo World in Japan, birthdays, holidays, and more. Then the world was turned upside down due to a…
