Coolrom Hacked
A hacker has done what years of anti-piracy could not and has knocked out one of the most popular emulation websites on the internet. Coolrom has been knocked out by someone calling themselves Chloroform. Chloroform got rid of everything on the Coolroms page, instead playing a short piece of music and linking you to the Sinisterly forums. Sinisterly is a forum for people that enjoy coding, hardware, anime and more.

New Releases this week | Sept 9th – Sept 15th 2013

Major Nelson Discusses Albert Penello’s “30%” Comment
Albert Penello recently posted to Neogaf explaining a number of things about the Xbox One. One of the biggest comments to come out of the post was that there was no way Microsoft were going to give up a 30% hardware advantage to Sony, as some figures (and some rather over-excited consumers) might suggest.
