The Intellivision Amico has been delayed again - it slipped from its initial launch date of 10-10-2020 to 4-3-2021, and now has slipped again to October 10, 2021 - exactly one year after its initially announced launch.

CD Projekt Red was the victim of a ransomware attack that stole source code for many games past and future as well as internal documents seemingly "damning" against the company.
The hacked contents were subsequently sold on the black market for an undisclosed sum with the stipulation that they not be resold by the original hackers.
This includes a dramatic reading of the ransom note left on CDPR's servers.
I did roll credits on Cyberpunk 2077 (a couple times) and - the game was fine.

The Bobby Blackwolf Show - January 31, 2021
We start by saying we won't be talking about the GameStop stonk, and then talk about it for a few minutes. But, it's really not a video game story, and financial investing kinda isn't our thing.
Warner Bros has finally been granted a patent on the Nemesis system from 2014's Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, which means you won't see anything like it in other games until 2035.
Which takes us down a rabbit hole of video game patents that have expired (games inside loading screens, practice mode button display, arrows to point you to an objective), some expiring soon (sphere grids, sanity meters, stylish driving trackers), and some expiring in a while (rolling up objects to become bigger, using a wheel to pick dialogue choices, controlling two characters at once with a single input.)
Then we talk to OLR about why GameStop is important to people enough to use them as their stonks rallying cry.
