I totally forgot Man, the Ouya! It feels like just yesterday they were killing it on Kickstarter and fumbling their way to securing multiple investments, much to the ire of their backers. You could see the writing on the wall at that point, when they announced annual hardware revisions before backers even had their first kits. Also, they releasedone of the worst commercials of all time, which was a bummer. In any case, it was interesting to see this pretty cool ideacrash and burn under Julie Uhrman(who is now with JauntVR, a “premium” VR experience company)....

Mighty fine looking apocalypse Bethesda is offering asneak peek atThe Art of Fallout 4, a massive 386-page art book now available for pre-sale at theBethesda storefor a cool $50 and an estimated shipping date of December 22. Not exactly cheap, but after taking a look at the preview images, I think I’m sold. The preview images include some tantalizing hints at what might be in the game.
