Chairman Isao Okawa gifted the company $695 million in shares to keep it afloat, allowing Sega to continue as a third-party publisher.

Having worked exclusively online for the past year, I don’t see myself returning to the office anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean OSHA regulations aren’t still on my mind. In reflecting on previous in-person jobs, and in the realization that video games technicallyaremy job now, I’ve decided to compare OSHA’s regulations to my favorite video game workplaces and rank them based on how safe they would actually be to work at in real life....

Everyone wants video games for Christmas. There are too many of them and they’re too expensive, so why shouldn’t Santa foot the bill for them once a year, right? Exactly.

Quick Links Antonblast’s first stage is a frantic blitz through Boiler City. When it comes to the platforming element, I’d say it is moderately straightforward. However, the collectibles are straight-up diabolical. In fact, I’d say they are harder than many of the other stages in the game. This guide will take you through where to find the TV Set, Spray Paint Can, and Cassette Tape. Additionally, we’ll point you in the direction of every hidden area that is sprinkled around the stage....
