8/27/16-9/2/16

Happy Friday everyone! I hope all of you out there have plans for the holiday weekend. It’s hard to believe it’s September already. We’re less than a month away from Fall and I am more than ready for it. Let’s just hope I get some more experiments working to accompany my favorite time of the year.

News & Views collects the week’s best writing about video games and puts it all into one convenient place. Check out the links below for stories about how parents thought the Super Nintendo was a scam, how one analyst used a Sci-Fi MMO to predict the Great Recession, and how the scariest enemy in all of gaming is time.

And of course please check out the brand new episode of The Impact Factor podcast that was posted today! You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, or if you prefer other methods, check out our SoundCloud. We’re on YouTube too!
