Monday Links: Powered by Nvidia Tegra Edition

2013 has still only just started, meaning there’s still not a whole lot going on when it comes to news. Still, some of what’s going on is pretty cool, like Nvidia announced their very own gaming handheld. And it uses Nvidia Tegra technology! Meaning that Bartman3010 should be writing this Monday Links because praising Nvidia Tegra is his thing, but he’s busy so I’ll do it for him: Nvidia Tegra is amazing and cool and probably cooler than you are and can run Sonic 4 Episode 2. And that’s what Bartman3010 maybe would have written for today’s Monday Links.

    TimmiT! I know you visit the Random Youtube/Internet thread. Why didn’t you include the Cracked article? That’s a link.

      Because looking at it now, putting it in the links would probably only piss people off because the Cracked writer seemingly didn’t do their research and mistook Shadow for a Sonic redesign.

    Nvidia Shield is interesting.

    Sonic Propel is a bad rumor, like Sonic Dimensions..

    Can I tell you something, Timmit?
    I should contact NeoGAF members to tell them that News sites should cite CM forums as the main place that were it was first found (Not counting the source)
    (And yes, I said a similar thing but a little insulting by being a “Attention whore” in another forum…)

    Thank you.

      Didn’t know Crash Mania found it first, I’ll update the post when I get around to it. I made that thread on NeoGAF but found various sources for the image, so I’ll update the first post in that thread as well. Same goes for Greg’s comment, will put that link in tomorrow.
