IndieBox is a thing similar to Loot Crate, in which the guys running IndieBox pick one indie developed video game every month, manufacture a physical variation of it (a retro-styled box modeled after the Genesis/Mega Drive boxes) and include a buncha goodies. Soundtrack/posters/other things. The game is also stored on a DRM-free USB cartridge.

Here's a thing someone on The Escapist wrote up in regards to physical games vs. digital distribution, that also talks about IndieBox a little.

This seems like a pretty cool idea, though.

A lot of this is just silly, but some interesting points are raised.

I didn't see anything interesting besides grasping at straws.

It was mainly the part about how playing online on a Nintendo console is completely free with no strings attached as opposed to the other guys.

Potential TV show based on the Resident Evil universe and set before the first games is in the works. Looks pretty good.

EDIT: Also, if anyone here saw Street Fighter Legacy and Assassin's Fist:

We're getting a sequel series greenlit by Capcom.

I can't tell if Capcom is actually doing something remotely right, or if there is some massive check to this that will ruin everything all over again.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

And Square Enix will obviously complain when it doesn't sell as much as the first did.

Well obviously, considering even the first one didn't sell as much as they were gambling on.

I'm more puzzled that they chose the Xbone specifically, because I was almost certain the PS4 version was kicking the shit out of it last time.

Because they deliberately want it to fail to meet their delusional expectations so they have something to whine about?

Considering they themselves aren't doing any actual work and that these are more like fan efforts, I wouldn't bet on them getting their shit together any time soon.

MS is a little desperate for exclusives and may have paid for the rights.

Oh durr, silly me. For a moment there I actually assumed Microsoft was a competent, decent minded competitor in the industry.
