À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
BlizzCon is back, PS3 emulation got physical, and a UK tinkerer built a working 8-bit computer from 460 Soviet-era vacuum tubes. In Episode 10, Stacy and Dan cover everything Blizzard announced (WoW: Forever, Diablo 5, an open-world StarCraft shooter and more), RPCS3 playing PS3 games straight off the disc, a rapid-fire round of retro wins, Guess the Price with rare original Xbox special editions, and Show and Tell. Plus: we're having a tech garage sale!
HAPPY TECH GARAGE SALE
Saturday, [DATE] at our studio (the former Mike's General Store location), Winnipeg. Cables, keyboards (so many keyboards), routers, cases, monitors and more, all cheap.
