Phishing attacks have been a key part of some of the most high-profile hacks in recent years, but they’re also used in smaller, less diabolical schemes as well. KTVU reports that a student at Ygnacio Valley High School in California used a phishing s…
We last heard the Monster Hunter movie was still in the works back in September 2016, but selling 8 million copies of this year’s Monster Hunter: World might have sped things up. According to Variety, the film adaptation has snagged Paul W. S. Anders…

The two comic legends are joining forces for a limited tour in June.
Japanese gamers and manga aficionados and every combination thereof will get a treat this summer with the release of a NES Classic Edition loaded with games from the pages of Weekly Jump.

More importantly it’s possible these hypothetical themed consoles may come with new accessories that I desperately need, like a NES Advantage, Zapper (not sure how it would work), or NES Max. Perhaps even a Power Glove?
In the meantime, at least if you missed the chance to buy one the first time around, you can grab one come the end of June.
