Private Notes
A very special Fact Hunt this week, We had so many people say they enjoyed the Driv3rGate segment from the 3 Gaming Scandals that were buried episode of Fact Hunt, we decided to go back and re-add a lot of the original deleted content, as well as all the new research we discovered from people involved in the scandal since making the video. Enjoy!
As a special bonus for the upcoming Fact Hunt episode, I've made an extended version of one of the segments. While doing research upon one of the features, the code needed to get it to work proved to be fake (other sites agreed with me), I almost abandoned the part, but upon some extensive research and some expert hacking help with my friend Ian at http://www.CodeTapper.com, who I originally approached to help get the code to work after I discovered its existence, we managed to prove that it's not only real, but also worked out how to get it to work!
Larry answers the biggest question in gaming that no one ever asked... Why are joysticks always on the left? The answer may surprise you!
Fact hunt returns! This episode I take a look at the rather controversial story of when Activision cancelled a video game because of their diskinking to female video game protagonists. Amazingly, like Driv3rgate, this story was pretty much buried for years.
This episode I take a look at a Super Mario Bros. Game show lost the the ravages of time, that and it was on European TV so, so unless it happened in the US, the internet forgets... :P
This episode I take a look at a rather infamous password, and how incredibly damaging it has been to Nintendo consoles over the years.
With all the anger towards EA trying to scam you with loot boxes in recent years, the internet seems to have all but forgotten the time EA proclaimed that buying used games was "worse than piracy" and decided to fine anyone who bought a second hand copy ten dollars, just for the privelidge of playing the complete game.
So let's have a look at the rise and disasterous fall of EA's "Project Ten Dollars"
Over the years of doing Fact Hunt, EA horror stories have cropped up time and time again, so I thought for this episode, we'd take a look back at five of the worst stories I've covered and check up if there's been any developments since...
This episode I take a look at the time Sega had to recall one of it's own Sonic titles less than 24 hours after it's inital launch.
