No Sequel, No Problem! Remaster Final Fantasy VII For PC Using Bootleg [MUO Gaming]
Final Fantasy VII is arguably the greatest game (if not RPG) in console gaming history. Unfortunately, Square made it very clear recently that an FF7 remake is not a priority to them (after years of stringing it out and teasing us).

2 Add-ons You Can Use To Help Manage Favicons [Firefox]
It's awfully frustrating when you've got a website that you really love and would like to keep sitting in your bookmarks toolbar, but there's no favicon attached to the website that would set it apart from any other bookmark.

Download & Read Classic Comic Books Using Comic Books Archive & ComicRack
As a kid, I burned through a lot of hobbies and phases. There was the NES, pogs, trading cards, and I was huge on comic books. I still have them all, stored away in plastic cases and as (probably) worthless as ever. Nonetheless, these are pieces of nostalgia that I don't want to let go.

3 Sites To Study The Roots Of Your Favorite Artists & Songs
Life without music is a life that would be much less enjoyable for most of us. Even before smartphones and iPods, we were finding ways to listen to our favorite songs everywhere we go through classics like the Walkman.
