AlainmendezI mostly shared this so I remember to send it to Daniel.
A long time ago, both Nintendo and PlayStation formed a partnership that was very quickly dissolved. The partnership resulted in the Nintendo PlayStation, a special prototype that combined the creations of both camps into one console. For a while it was considered a myth, until one was discovered. It was thought to be fake for some time, but it actually exists, and what's more, it's functional!
Engadget recently tried out the prototype and took some very interesting video footage, which you can see below. The prototype itself came from father and son owners Terry and Dan Diebol. Terry Diebold ended up with the prototype after winning it at a bankruptcy auction where former Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Olaf Olafsson was previously employed.
Check out the footage to see the prototype in action. What do you think of a Nintendo and PlayStation hybrid console? What if that were possible today? That'd be absolutely crazy.

Twitter did a silly thing today. It took away its neutral star icon and turned it into a smarmy heart. Turns out, it’s extremely easy to replace that heart. Let me help you.
The tiny baby has no idea his cardboard BattleMech would be the deadliest costume in the play-school, while his dad—hidden behind the giant guns, holding the kiddo at his chest—is having the time of his life.
Bad (or at least frustrating) news today for Twin Peaks fans: CBS Corp. chief Leslie Moonves said that the new, limited-run series—which has already been held up by David Lynch vs. Showtime pre-production issues—won’t be airing until 2017.
The theme song’s going to be stuck in your head for the rest of the day, but: The Greatest American Hero, the ‘80s superhero cult classic, is being revived for twenty first-century audiences on Fox.

The 2015 issue 48 of Shounen Sunday, out in Japan October 28th (despite the name, out on Wednesday), is introducing some change-ups for the manga magazine. GTO author Toru Fujisawa's 2014 Oishii Kamishama (Delicious God-chama) and Hikaru Nikaidou's 2014 Heavens Runner Akira are ending. And, perhaps biggest of all, Shinobu Ohtaka's 2009 anime-adapted Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic kicks off its final storyline in the issue.
Ootani Akira (Gundam - Far East Japan) will be launching new sports manga Nippen! in the next issue.
Not explicitly related to Magi wrapping up, this August, Shonen Sunday announced big plans for the 56-year-old magazine with editor-in-chief Takenori Ichihara, who took the position in July, publishing a letter explaining his intention to shake up the weekly.
Ichihara explained that while familiar series may be going away, he aims to bring in both returning veterans and rookies with new series that appeal to a broad audience. He further promised that, going into the fall, the magazine would also also be trying out more ideas with additional one-shots.
Plans have been announced to adapt Ohtaka Shinobu and Yoshifumi Ohtera's ongoing Magi prequel/spin-off Adventure of Sinbad. Miyao Yoshikazu, who previously helmed OVA adaptations, returns for the upcoming AOS Project production, scheduled to air on the latenight Animeism broadcast in April 2016.
Volume 27 was released October 16th, along with volume 8 of the Sinbad spin-off
