Former Reddit exec intros a friendlier message board alternative
Reddit earned its reputation as the "front page of the internet" thanks to its sheer diversity of topics and deep community. However, the message board also has its dark side: while its almost-anything-goes attitude is great for freedom of expression, it has also led to vicious abuse and harassment by people who only occasionally face consequences for their actions. Former Reddit VP Dan McComas thinks there's a better way, though. He recently started Imzy, a board that tries to preserve the community while eliminating the vitriol. Much of it comes down to preventing the hit-and-run posting that sometimes sours Reddit and other online communities.
Don't be alarmed: SNK's Shock Troopers is coming to PS3 and PSP
Another SNK classic is due to pull into the PS3 and PSP "NeoGeo Station." Officially coming to Japan on August 25 (alongside World Heroes), the top-down run-and-gunner Shock Troopers was also rated for release in Australia, indicating plans for SNK to release it elsewhere in the world. In Shock Troopers, players control one of eight squad members to fight through the forces of the evil "Bloody Scorpions" faction and rescue a scientist and his granddaughter. It was never officially released for the Neo Geo home system, available only as an arcade "MVS" cartridge -- and on the SNK Arcade Classics disc years later.
