If this were an ordinary videogame, the description would end here. But in “Squeezed,” a socially conscious videogame developed by students at the University of Denver, there’s another reason, aside from earning points, to continue to the end. You may be just a frog, but you also have a family and community to support in a country far away. The “juice” you collect from the fruits you pick up is paying for food and medicine back home....
This is good new for Nintendo and GameStop, but bad news for any gamers trying to get their hands on a Nintendo Switch. It seems gamers can’t get enough of the handheld-console hybrid, and are having trouble finding them despite Nintendo’s efforts to dramatically increase production.

Eyebrows were initially raised as the Brazil international replaced Sergio Aguero in the starting XI for Wednesday’s meeting with West Ham. ‘Pep will get it right at Man City’ But City fans needn’t have worried, with Jesus laying the ball on a plate for Kevin De Bruyne to slot home the opening goal at the London Stadium. And, with David Silva having scored a second soon after, the former Palmeiras star got on the scoresheet himself when he stroked home Raheem Sterling’s pass across the box....

It’s a good thing then that the game is so much fun to play. Built like an omnidirectional, side-scrolling version of Asteroids, Galak-Z presents players with a fairly unassuming set of levels, which are collected into four separate “seasons" and put players in control of a young pilot named A-Tak. Each episode within a season tasks the player with venturing through a space installation or rock formation and either collecting a valuable item or rescuing a fallen space pilot....

Booker, who finished Phoenix’s 109-103 loss with a game-high 42 points, picked up his fifth foul early in the fourth quarter and should have been called for his sixth with three minutes and 40 seconds remaining in regulation.

Even though Nintendo reports a drop in Switch sales, the console continues to sell at a sufficiently brisk pace to keep the hardware near the top of wish lists everywhere. One of the biggest issues now is market saturation; since the Switch has now sold more units than even the popular PlayStation 4, the number of households with gamers who don’t already own Nintendo’s hybrid console grows smaller every month....
How the ant found itself inside the screen is anyone’s guess. Insects are attracted to heat, and while the screen will get warm, it’s surprising the ant didn’t simply move for the CPU instead. UpvotesKitties can be found directing it back and forth with their finger. RELATED: Nvidia’s New Gaming Laptops Are More Powerful Than PS5 Consoles While it’s sad that the ant could be trapped in the screen, and possibly die, the effect on the machine will also be apparent....

GameStop customers may wish to ensure their accounts’ security following reports from the Saturday after Black Friday, where users reported being able to view information, including billing addresses and payment history, that did not pertain to them.

For the uninitiated, GameStop’s stock became the target of several hedge funds that “shorted” the stock, devaluing it through borrowing and selling for profit. A subreddit called r/wallstreetbets noticed this and decided to purchase GameStop stock to drive up its value. This put a hole in the short-sellers’ plans and, coincidentally, made the WallStreetBets investors a lot of money. However, it seems that at least one of them has legal trouble coming his way....
