We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

Once again:

The DVD (1996) is now as old as the original 8-inch floppy disk (1967) was when the DVD came out.

Xbox is so dead holy shit they never recovered from 2013, they are so out of touch, the brand is gonna end up being an app no one uses.

Not joking btw Greenhouse is my favourite LCD game.
