Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: DD-BD (Droid Factory, Carded). A new droid mold? In this economy? It can happen! I really like this little guy, and am thrilled to see something more than repaints or new versions of figures I've had for 30-50 years. If you can find one, I highly recommend picking one up, even if you didn't see Solo: A Star Wars Story. How often do we ever get a completely new Star Wars droid or alien action figure? It's pretty uncommon, so this is truly an exciting new arrival.

New Super ZSNES For Widescreen, Audio, Video Upgrades
Via Modern Vintage Gamer: Super ZSNES - GPU Powered SNES emulation is here! What is it? It adds textures. It can give some actual 3D to 2D Mode 7 games like F-Zero. It does music and sound enhancements - and apparently will include a toolkit so you can edit stuff, too.
I haven't grabbed it yet, but I did watch the video. You can download it here and it's on Mac, Windows, Linux, and Android so far. I'd recommend taking some time to check out the video - it starts to get a little overly technical, but you can see what it does. I really like seeing the widescreen feature, which currently supports only some of the background layers - so not the sprites, or some of the floating layers in the middle. Still, it's an amazing start and makes it seem like you have an excuse to re-replay Super Metroid again.
