Why you should get a gaming emulator, NPR broke car radios, new Tesla Cybertruck details, and more

February 14, 2022

My favorite video game of all time is Chrono Trigger. Let me tell you, that game is near perfection. You have it all, a compelling story, time travel, a desperate bid to save the world, and a cast of unforgettable characters. It was a massive achievement for a game created in the Super Nintendo era.

And let’s be honest, they just don’t make games like that anymore. They don’t make games like Missle Command or Vagrant Story either. Sure modern games look super realistic, but let’s be honest, they lack something the good ol’ games have. And if you feel that way too, we have a suggestion. You should get an emulator and relive your favorite games. We’ll talk about it in the top story.

Other Highlights:

  • Ummmm. Whoops. NPR accidentally broke a bunch of car radios. It isn’t the same without Car Talk anyway.
  • Check out these amazing alternatives if you think the standard old Rubiks Cube is too easy.
  • Thanks to some drone footage, we just got an early look at a Cybertruck prototype.
  • …and more!
