  4. Hey, the Stop Killing Games initiative still has a chance on passing.
    Even though the signatures are only halfway through and there's only a month left, remember we still managed to pass the conversion therapy ban initiative when it only had a week or so left.

  5. GamesRadar: Sonic fans are leading the charge on a new preservation tool that can help give any Xbox 360 game a native PC port. “…this new tool, called XenonRecomp, simply gives fan developers a path to creating PC versions of Xbox 360 games.
