The urban legend about a mythical video game that continues to circulate 35 years later

by

A legendary game, ‘Wing Commander’ contained a programming bulk error at a time when correcting a video game was more complex than now, in the same way as the testing processes They were less detailed and prolonged than the current ones. An error message that the ingenuity of a programmer made a brief congratulation to the player. That is what they have been telling us so far … but it wasn’t entirely true. Problems in the galaxy. The year is 1990. ‘Wing Commander’, the legendary saga of space flight simulators starts with a Initial Delivery on PC (MS-DOS), whose success would give rise to a franchise that would reach the most powerful microororders and consoles of the time, as a friend CD32, Sega Mega-CD and SNES. In the saga, the Terrestrial Confederation faces a militarized feline breed called Killrathi in the Vega sector. However, shortly before launch in September, Origin Systems developers realized that A fateful mistake hung the game In his final bars. Capital error. What happened was that they found An error message Produced by the memory manager Emm386, which frozen the game. As they needed to send the game to production, one of the programmers, Ken Demarest, directly edited the error message to show the message “Thank you for playing Wing Commander” instead instead of the technical description of the error. A real required required just in time … and that, in reality, never happened. Urban legends. The truth is that this ingenious solution for the error was not published in the final edition: the team managed to correct the error in time, according to Demarest On the Wing Commander Commer Information Centerin its section dedicated to denying urban legends around the franchise. As they say, Demarest was also head of programming in ‘Last VII’, and this game contained a similar closing message (“Thank you for playing ultima VII”). Therefore, the anecdote could have been incorrectly confused or attributed between both titles, further feeding the myth. Functional fudge. Over the years, the false anecdote (of which even There are captures) It became popular so much that this solution was used as an example of a “functional fudge”: a quick but little orthodox solution for the problem. By extension, some critics of Chris Roberts, creator of ‘Wing Commander’ and currently in the ambitious’Star Citizen‘, they have used urban legend to argue that the technical quality of their products has always been questionable. Finally, everything was one of the many urban legends that circulate in the industry. It is counted, it is rumored. The absence of a serious and established press in the first decades of the industry made the video games of the eighties, ninety and even beyond (such as ‘Wing Cmmander’) into hotbeds of rumors and half lies. Since the time of legendary ‘Polybius‘, a mental control device through recreational machines, to the suicide melody of Lavander town in’ Pokémon Red/Blue ‘, authentic Material for nightmares Creepypastathrough the non-existence of A game that erased itself‘Kill Switch’, video games have always had urban legends commented on dark Internet forums and in the cartridge and discs exchange corrillos. The ‘Wing Commander’, as we have seen, has already been officially denied, but it is clear that no one ever kills a good story.

Playing video games in the middle of summer and with this heat is a horrible experience. I have found the solution in the cloud

by

Play on PC is very good Until summer arrives. To a hot room as is my office, the hot air is added that, desperate to compete against Cordoba heat, manage the six fans located in my tower. The feeling is … regular. If I leave the tower on the floor they end up warming my legs. If I upload it to the table, the noise of the fans becomes even more evident and the temperature increases equally. The same happens with the Rog Ally, console that I love But that if it already has quite high temperatures, in summer suffers even more. I have found the solution in a technology that generates opinions of the most varied and that personally, it seems to me the future: the cloud. The heat. Córdoba is currently in orange alert. The asphalt has reached 57.3ºCthe grass in the shade to the almost 27ºC and the maxims exceed 40ºC. I write these lines at 10:40 on Wednesday and we are already at 30ºC. At night it does not cool and opening the windows is like look at the doors of Mordor. Thus, the solution passes through air conditioning, fans and infinite patience. Image: Olivier Collet The components. Electronic components and heat They do not get along. Let’s say they are obliged to understand each other, but excess heat is not good for a computer or for any device. The cooling systems By air, which are those that usually assemble the vast majority of computers and consoles, will refrigerate depending on the ambient temperature. If in a room is hot, the cooling will be less effective than if the room is cold. Fresquibiris. In addition to cleaning the fans and the interior of the PC, which must be done as long as a quick solution could be to put the air-conditioning For a while to cool the room. The problem is that, on the one hand, it is possible that not all people have an air conditioning device in the room or that, on the other hand, the air conditioning is centralized and we have to put it throughout the house when we only want to cool a single stay. My case. I have a temperature sensor in the office. In the morning, at 8:30, the ambient temperature is 31ºC. If I put the air conditioning to work to reduce the temperature to 26ºC. If I remove the room, it ends up reaching 34ºC. Taking into account that the ideal ambient temperature is between 18ºC and 25ºC, you can imagine how pleasant it is to complete the expansions of ‘Guild Wars 2‘or shoot in’Delta Force‘On a PC that at 18:00 is already asking for clemency and mercy. I cannot compete against environmental heat, but I can stop the heat generated by the PC. As? Roughlymaking it work much more slowly. That, a priori, is incompatible with playing in a decent quality, and it is. Unless you do it in the cloud. GeForce Now | Image: Xataka Looking for the fresco. Playing in the cloud has a series of disadvantages that are evident: you depend on having Internet connection, you are tied to a subscription and Not all games are available. The advantages, however, are that the cloud is agnostic to the hardware (I can play in my tower, but also from the mobile, From the laptop used at the university or from the ROG Ally) and does not require the computer to be fully. Just an Internet connection. The game is executed on a server and we receive the image and send the inputs in real time. A matter of temperatures. To give a quick example, playing ‘Guild Wars 2’ in a room at 27ºC The temperature of the CPU goes from 55.4ºC to exceed 70ºC. The GPU, meanwhile, goes from 35ºC to about 55ºC. If I launch the same game, but in the cloud (Geforce Now in my case), the temperature goes from about 55ºC to 57ºC, while the GPU passes from 35ºC to 37.9ºC degrees. ‘Delta Force’ is not in Geforce Now, so I can’t play it in the cloud, but it comes to the hair to show how temperatures change. The processor goes from 55ºC to 68ºC, while the GPU goes from 35ºC to be around 60ºC. That is also noticeable in the noise of the fans, which turn at a speed far higher than when they are in Standby. Asus Rog Ally | Image: Xataka The Rog Ally case. Asus’s portable console is my header device to play titles like ‘Devil IV‘And even’ Guild Wars 2 ‘connecting it to a USB and HDMI hub. If you use it in performance mode (25W), the console reaches 80-85ºC with relative ease, not to mention the battery to make a breath. Playing at the same game in Geforce Now I can do it not only in better graphic quality and with more fps, but putting the console in Eco mode, with a temperature that does not pass from 55ºC, more silent fans and greater autonomy. That, in hand and long, it shows. In short accounts. If the temperature is a problem and we have good access to the Internet, the cloud can be an option if we want to continue playing without making more firewood. In addition, the subscription does not have to be eternal. It can be used during the hottest months and then play again when temperatures fall.

I have been on the PS5 for a month. My new console is Netflix and I am clear that it is the future of video games

by

I love video games, but this last month it has been difficult to find a hole to play. I know I’m not alone in thisbut luckily we have many portable platforms (Nintendo Switch 2 He is giving me very good times) with which to play a few minutes when you can, but this last month he has not given me life to play console games on TV. Beyond for the Analysis of ‘Death Stranding 2‘, clear. Now, I have played a lot, and curiously on the platform that I least expected: Netflix. And he has returned to remind me with force that the future does not go through having a console connected to TV: it goes through not having a console and continuing to play video games. And I don’t like the idea at all. 7 tricks to make Netflix the most Turning TV into a console. Netflix does not need a presentation, but from a few years to this part, in addition to having series and movies on its platform, it also has video games. Recently, its application on televisions and devices such as Chromecast HE updated with a new menu which allowed to see more clearly the tab dedicated to video games. Just because, Netflix has mobile video games For a long time, but on TV it is more recent. And it is not that you need much to play them: simply TV, choose the compatible game (it is in beta and something tells me that it will never get out of there) and a mobile. These games are executed in the cloud and, when we click on which we want, we simply scan the QR code that appears on the screen with our mobile and it becomes the game command. So simple. ‘Oxenfree’ is a spectacular adventure The experience. Go ahead that 80% of the few games that Netflix allows you to play on TV convince me rather little. They are not for me, but there are about three or four that I have been playing a lot and I think they are a good gate to the world of video games for people who have not played so far. Because starting to play is very simple and the games that Netflix is ​​testing are nothing demanding with the controls. ESCANES THE QR WITH YOUR MOBILE AND MADE There is a crosshead, a couple of action buttons and voila. It is focusing on more narrative, puzzles or management experiences, and not needing great reflexes are, as I say, a good entrance door. In addition, although image quality is not the best, they work really well in the cloud. The experience and number of servers that Netflix have and is a very satisfactory plug & play experience. The good thing is also that you have games on the mobile included with your subscription. These do have to install them and they are somewhat more complex about their controls (spend something like ‘GTA San Andreas‘ either ‘Katana Zero‘Without a command I see it impossible), but they are quality games and that, as I say, allow someone who pay 8 euros per month and do not have a console or PC can enjoy video games. The command could not be simpler. And that is good The catalog mess. The problem is that, although in recent weeks I had a great time with Netflix’s video games, you never know how long they will last on the platform. Or how much will the platform itself last. This week we learned that, after a very strong bet of Netflix for video games, they were going to start withdrawing some of the best they had. 20% of the catalog disappearsbeing among those who strive balls like ‘Hades‘,’ Katana Zero ‘, the three’Monument Valley‘,’Death’s Door‘or the sublime’Braid‘. It is something that adds to closure of your AAA study In October of last year, which leaves us with the feeling that this great bet that the company made, investing a lot of money on servers, technology, titles such as’ and buying licenses as the aforementioned ‘GTA’ Or studies like Night School, staggers. And it’s strange when His initial bet was extremely upset And little by little, They struggled so that they were taken into account in this video game. But yes, it is the future. I do not mean that the future is Netflix in particular, but to this type of experience. We will see what path Netflix follows after the very bad news of recent days, but as someone who opted for Stadiawho has played a lot to the cloud games of Game Pass and PS Now and enjoy your Steam library with Steam Link and GeForce NowI am clear that the future is not a pot that consumes light and occupies a space in the Tele furniture, but something like Steam Decka Consolidated PC or Nintendo Switch 2 and, to play on TV, the game in the cloud. And think that this will be the future does not mean that I like it, since that implies the definitive death of a physical format that is very touched and that it is, although it does not always happen, the only thing that assures us that the games are ours. Because with the new albums that are launchersthe Game Key Card De Switch 2 or digital games, unfortunately there are more and more examples than The games do not belong to us As it happened before. But that is a topic for another day and something very personal. What I am clear is that someone who did not enjoy video games, with proposals such as Netflix or Amazon Luna They can get into the car. And that is great.

The ambitious video apps plans to land on Smart TV

by

There is no one who can with the TV. Although the hours we spend in front of the mobile are increasingly abundant, the big screen that makes up the neuralgic entertainment center and household meetings continues to exercise great power over us. And about advertisers. Therefore, even mobile apps giants such as Instagram or Tiktok consider a turn to television and prepare apps in that format. Tik tok and Instagram, to TV. Account ‘The Information‘That Tiktok and Instagram are developing apps to be viewed on television. The objective is to steal some advertiser of the juicy cake that are now distributed the platforms of streaming (that generated more than 26,000 million dollars in income in 2024) and also increase the number of users, appealing to new profiles and older than the usual ones on the platforms (In Tiktok About 70% of users are under 34 years old, and On Instagram around 60%) The future has returned. When the use of mobiles was generalized, the media looked at these new devices, transportable screens (laptops, tablets, smartphones) and They said “here is the future”. We would watch TV and movies on mobiles. They were wrong: TVs are still reigning in houses thanks to the arrival of streaming: Linear TV consumption is in historical minimumsbut Thanks to streaming platforms A lot of television is still seen. But the screen continues to be transformed and perhaps the next bombing we see comes from the arrival of native mobile apps. YouTube to power. Recent news resonates in this decision of the two gigantic social social networks: YouTube’s sustained growth in recent years. According to Nielsenthe video platform has experienced a constant and significant general growth, more than 120 % since 2021. But in addition, in May 2025, it occupied the leading position between platforms of streamingwith 12.5 % of the total viewing on television. That is, advancing traditional television on their own land and even its rivals of streamingan app born on the Internet has conquered televisions. Tik Tok already tried. The Chinese video app has already tried to enter the Smart TVS with an application that did not have much route and It was launched in November 2021. According to Sony and collects ‘The Information’, Tiktok stopped updating the app in June and there are other televisions brands, such as Samsung or LG, where it is not even available. It is a possible clue about changes in the Tiktok TV approach. Instagram has never had an app for Smart TVS. Advertising is what is sought. To those mentioned 26,000 million dollars that gives the streaming In advertising the 72% of the 50,000 million youtube revenues In 2024: the video format and its jump to television allows multiple formats (pre -rol, Bumper, Mid-RollShorts), very versatile and attractive for video social media apps, more limited in that regard. Television allows hybrid advertising practices (with the use of artificial intelligence That will begin to put into practice Netflix, for example), which generate more impact on television. All that also want to access Tiktok and Instagram.

Jordi Wild also wanted to dive into the video game industry, but recognizes his failure: “It is paralyzed”

by

Jordi Wild is one of the content creators More followed by todaybut of course, that does not mean that everything that touches becomes gold. Despite the Success of your podcast Already the delivery and dedication he had put in a horror video game project in which he appeared as a creative director, the thing is not going well. He has made it clear in one of his last programs, talking about development paralysis. A promising project. In December 2023 Jordi Wild was intended to develop “one of the most terrifying games that have ever made“, as he said in his own program. At that time the game already had a year of development in Unity, at the hands of its own study. It was a modest project, a short duration game and a very attractive expected price: just 20 euros for a title that would come out in Steam. In it, a detective investigates an adultery in a New York building: a case that becomes more dark as it descended by the floors. The project is twisted. The initial idea was that he came out on Halloween of 2024, but soon he had to change it to a larger one “early 2025“. But this week, in a podcast that is not yours, ‘the bunker’, He commented that the game is “paralyzed” and that he could not give more details for legal issues. Because of the little that has advanced, there was a creative clash with the study or the producers, who approved their ideas for later retracting: “You cannot tell me, months later, ‘this cannot be’”. Wild concludes that he chose “the people I have worked with.” The future of the project is doubtful: “I do not know what to do (…), if to rebuild it from scratch, discard everything and start a new story with new people in command, or continue with what we have. But I will need a powerful team” in front. You have to look for more. Jordi Wild’s case is not isolated: a great range on social networks and content platforms does not guarantee success In other areas. However, it is a diversification that Many influencers and streamers are looking for since only a few are on top in an increasingly busy space (in 2024, the community influencer Spanish speaker grew 21%, already worldwide already We talk about 2 million creators). The key to highlighting in such a busy panorama in vertical integration: merchandisingcollaborations with brands, courses, face -to -face events and own products. The negotiate. Although brand agreements are usually the main income of content creators (70%, according to themselves), own businesses increasingly abound. We no longer talk about exploiting the brand itself with memberships, exclusive content, donations and new formats such as podcasts or face -to -face events. We talk about founding companies where influencer It is just an extra hook to finance and advertise a product. That’s where ideas such as Jordi Wild’s enter, although he is far from being the first. Some precedents. For example, Olajide “ksi” Olatunji, One of the most relevant British youtuberswith 24 million subscribers, the prime energy drink developed with Logan Paul, although he had previously tried to develop mobile games between 2017 and 2019. Paul himself starred in the greatest failure in the world of video games managed by Influencers: ‘Cryptozoo’, a cryptocurrency game in a gamified metaverso that would combine NFTS and digital asset trading. The thing never fructify, and Paul He had to distance himself from his partnersaccused of fraud, in a project that makes it clear that the accelerated ethics of the digital content does not always apply to all sectors. And in Spain. In Spain there have not been so many Streamers linked to video games (we will have to see what is left The Xokasalthough it can be predicted quite accurately), but creators who have gone beyond their usual margins. The clearest case is that of IBAI, who has taken advantage of his fame and his income to embark on companies such as launching a own football team or organize events Like the successful the eveningbecoming de facto In a businessman who makes streamsand not the reverse. Thing that is not easy: Jordi Wild himself created Dogfight Tournament to his iumagen and similarity and has had astronomical losses. Some causes of failures. There are very clear reasons for This type of failures: The most obvious, which is not the same to play and comment games than to develop them. The programming, design and testing learning curve is very pronounced and cannot be assumed in a short time. The Influencersaccustomed to the frantic rhythm and based on constant internet novelties often do not internalize the development times of a video game, much longer. On the other hand there are a number of business factors that start from a lack of market research that lead to believe that followers are automatic clients, or that the demographies of their audience and their clients are the same, when they rarely are. A possible Substimation of development costs It ends up rounding what are often chronic of announced failures. There are exceptions, of course: Pewdiepie or Ninja are clear cases of influencers who have managed to get out of their digital creation frame, but for now Jordi Wild will not be able to enter that club.

It is increasingly difficult to distinguish whether the last viral chorra video is made with the or not. And it gives us exactly the same

by

Open any social network that we have installed on our mobile phone, run into a video created by AI and … split the box. That entertainment has changed in recent years was as inevitable as logical. We no longer see the comedy club, we listen to Juan the fishingman by WhatsAppand we no longer wait for the news to interview students recently out of the PAU, We hook ourselves to your reactions in Tiktok. So far, they are only the same usual realities taken to the new consumption platforms. The key is that we are starting to entertain ourselves without knowing if what we see is real or not. And it gives us absolutely the same. The reporter, the hole, and the pig. If you have opened X or Instagram in the last week you may have encountered A video that has three key elements. A reporter telling the last minute news live A couple of motorists who fall into a huge hole A pig that appears running from behind and the one pursued by the reporter The key is not in the video. It is in the conversation. Do not look for more plot, because there is not. Nor does it seem necessary to stretch the gum: this video accumulated more than one million downloads in X a few hours from its publication. And it is just the tip of the iceberg. The new YouTube. YouTube is the best example of how the culture of the video generated by AI is reaching unimaginable dimensions a few years ago. Rabbit’s Journey It is one of the strongest channels in entertainment by AI. They are simply absurd stories, in which we see stories at the level of: A rabbit is a baby in the middle of the field He is friends with a cow It takes a milk bottle He gives it to the baby and dances cheerful It ends up facing a gigantic threatening gorilla who ends up being shot by a man who passed by More than 640 visits has the video, and almost three million subscribers have the channel. Calling you “crocodile bombardino” The probabilities of success are 100%. Tum Tum Sahur. When a few days ago, at the Corpus Christi Fair of Granada I saw in the classic street post a tung tung sahur, I knew that the joke was out of hand: it had transcended outside the Internet. Tiktok fever of characters created by AI and with names as rimbombantes as Trallero Tralala, Tung Tung Sahur or Crocodile Bombardino. The tung tung videos dancing Broken 100 million downloadsabsolutely remote figures from what the most powerful youtubers in Spain are achieved in shorts such as Mikecrack either Vegeta 777. Its content? Always brief and most absurd. It is not something new. The entertainment contents by AI are beginning to end up exploding in 2025, but we have been with some most particular attempts. YouTube had to eliminate copyright (and how it was growing) the channel of Ai sponeboba channel that transmitted in 2023 spongebob contents modified by AI. WatchmeForever He has been broadcasting on Twitch for two years uninterruptedlya pixel-art channel generated with AI that accumulates more than 143,000 followers. It does not matter if it is real or not. The entertainment is consumed rapid and, the AI ​​is at a point where this consumption Fast food He doesn’t even let us think if what we are seeing is real or not. And this, deep down, has never imported. The phenomenon is similar to the rise of fake news in 2016. studies such as “The Science of Fake News” They demonstrated that false beliefs do not maintain because people believe them: they stay because people want to believe them. A good example are the millions of people who are now hooked on Olympic Games in which cats participate. Cats that, of course, do not exist. Towards the indistinguishable. Videos such as the reporter and the pig are created with the latest versions of VI, the Google video generation engine. The key here is that the interannual advance of these models is more than remarkable. Recently I could try I see 2 in Geminiwith my mobile (the latest version is I see 3), and the results were already brutal. The next generations of text to video leave us before a clear future: one in which we will have no idea whether or not the content is created by an AI, and in which it will give us absolutely the same as so.

The National Police has arrested Major Cibernarco in Europe in Barcelona. And he has left a video message for cybercriminals

by

A 30 -year -old German citizen coordinated from Barcelona the largest drug market in the Dark Web European Archetyp Market has been functioning as an online narcotic supermarket for more than five years. Now has been arrested by the National Police. Why is it important. This platform had achieved what few illegal markets achieve: scale, longevity and reputation. It has reached 612,000 registered users and 3,200 active vendors. It had become a key piece of European drug trafficking. The figures: The business volume has reached 250 million euros in transactions. The store has marketed 17,000 lots of narcotics, from heroin and fentanyl to cannabis and synthetic drugs. Payments were made exclusively in Moneroa cryptocurrency specially valued by its anonymity guarantee. In 2018 we count on Xataka How easy we found to access this type of marketswhere in addition to drugs we could find weapons or guns. In detail. The administrator, known as “Roger” and with multiple digital alias, directed a complex structure. The servers were located in the Netherlands. He operated from Catalonia. His profile fit with the new drug trafficker: technologically sophisticated, businessly efficient, mediately active. Message that appears in the domains intervened in this operation. Image: Eurojust. Between bambalins. Operation Deep Sentinel involved 300 agents from six European countries. The German authorities first identified the suspect, but needed international cooperation to dismantle the entire network. Technical complexity required specialists in Dark Web and cryptocurrency analysis. Archetyp had filled the void left by other dismantled markets such as Dream Market and Silk Road. His longevity contrasted with the typical short life of these platforms, usually closed in months by the authorities. In the video of the operation, published by the National Police, you can see the multiple currencies that the detainee was handled at his home: Deepen. The operation included important seizures: high -end vehicles, luxury watches, 7.8 million euros in cryptocurrencies and several computer devices. The authorities confiscated complete digital infrastructure.
