Having met with both sides on the current RubyCentral/RubyGems situation, here's my take:

- RubyCentral have managed this exceptionally poorly in many ways including removing literally the most active member of the RubyGems organisation by mistake who has declined to return

How often do sequels live up to or surpass the original? The Sims 2 sure did, and it turns 21 years old today! In honor of the occasion, we've just added the Sims 2 Double Deluxe to our archive. This version came with a bonus disc containing trailers, wallpapers, music, and tutorials from the devs!

Happy birthday to Goldeneye 007; this legendary FPS turns 28 today! Check out this footage of Goldeneye from when it was being played on the E3 show floor in 1997! Those controls are familiar to many of us now, but it's quite entertaining seeing new players learn the controls in real time at E3!

Hello beautiful world, my name is Jonas. I'm from Sweden, living in the US with my wife, daughter, and dog. I love working with online and IRL communities, and my main hobby is playing and preserving the history of video games. I'm learning Japanese (slowly), and have a life-long love for astronomy.
