I always advocate for people to learn 6502 because it's easy and small. Not because they are going to write assembly but because they should have a basic idea of what their code is going to turn into. It doesn't matter if someone

Didn't someone write a patch the day it came out that stripped out all the phoning home in single player and the game played perfectly ok in single player. I seem to remember it being a large embarrassment to EA at the time due to EA s

I wonder how many of Comixology's issues also track the downfall of the American Comicbook Industry. Marvel, DC and other American Comicbook companies aren't exactly setting the world on fire with their sales. There have been mont
