Ahead of the ROG Xbox Ally X, set for Holiday 2025, Xbox has updated their Xbox PC App to give you a preview of what to expect for the future of Xbox. Xbox is heavily betting their future on Game Pass and branding the Xbox name on other company’s hardware (for example Asus’ ROG Ally and Meta’s Quest VR).

Weekend Gamer: Update (May 2025)

vusleeper May 16, 2025

As for the gaming, I finally got around to putting together my Galaga Arcade1Up. I’ve had this thing in the original box for more than a year, because I knew eventually, I had to move to Jacksonville, and it was just easier to leave things in its compact state. When I put it together, I soon realized I did not bring my Pac-Man and Street Fighter II console controllers… so instead of putting the Galaga side art, I prefer the bright yellowness of the Pac-Man side.

Weekend Gamer: Legion Go, ROG Ally, and MSI Claw at Target and Castlevania Anniversary Collection

vusleeper November 8, 2024

I was surprised to see that all three Windows devices, the MSI Claw, the Lenovo Legion Go, and the Asus ROG Ally were all in stock (two each) at my semi-local Target Super Store. To be perfectly honest, this is the first time I have seen the Legion Go or the Claw in a retail store, and I was really excited. Not crazy about the prices, both the Legion Go and Claw are $700 and the ROG Ally is $500 (but keep in mind this is last year’s “Non-Extreme” version).
