Re: Random: Vancouver's New Hockey Team, The Goldeneyes, Are Using Some VGM You May Recognise

Go Goldeneyes! Great time for Vancouver sports teams right now (aside from the Canucks).

In terms of the permission thing, the Canucks use the James Bond theme when they get a powerplay, and the Ottawa Senators have used the GoldenEye pause music for coach's challenges before (not sure if they still do). I assume it's included in a licensing package.

Grant Kirkhope is loving it on social media:

Re: The ROG Xbox Ally X Receives Glowing Reviews, But It's Still Pretty Pricey

@BaldB3lper78 You can wake the ROG Xbox Ally in both "Sleep" and "Hibernate" mode in my experience.

Sleep feels kinda redundant because it uses battery, but Hibernate is much more like Quick Resume on an Xbox console. The problem is that it doesn't always work perfectly - sometimes the game turns back on with no issues, other times it crashes.

I'm sure they'll keep refining it over time, but yeah - I'm using Hibernate quite a lot with my Ally at the moment and finding it OK for the most part. I believe (but don't quote me on this) it works the same as it does on the old Ally devices.

There might be another alternative that I haven't come across yet... this is just my experience so far.
