In this clip of a 1995 Computer Chronicles, we not only get some lovely showcases of the PS1 and Saturn, but also brutal honesty from Stewart as he considers console vs PC gaming.

"It's nice to know when you come home from the store having just spent $50 on a new game, it'll work."

The names of the ancient Sages from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment are all derived from ancient subjects.

Agraston - from Acasta Gneiss
Qia - from Myllokunmingia
Ardi - from, well, Ardi
Raphica - from Archaeopteryx lithographica

Graphic showing the names of four of the Sages from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. The Sage of Fire, Agraston, derives his name from 'Acasta Gneiss', a rock that contains the oldest known earth crust. The Sage of Water, Qia, derives her name from 'Myllokunmingia', one of the oldest vertebrates. The Sage of Lightning, Ardi, derives her name from 'Ardi', one of the earliest human-like specimens dating back 4.4 million years. The Sage of Wind, Raphica, derives his name from 'Archaeopteryx Lithographica', a late Jurrasic ancestor of birds.

I finished building the new Lego Game Boy set!
It's actually very close to the original. You can't see it in the pictures, but it's cool that they made the buttons "pressable".
The build itself was pretty fun too.

Lego Game Boy set showing the Marin and Link beach scene from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, and the same scene on a real Game Boy.

Lego Game Boy set showing Level 1-1 of Super Mario Land with Mario jumping and hitting a block, revealing a Star power up, and the same scene on a real Game Boy.
