You may have noticed that we’re starting to use the Tell.im service in some of our links, including in this post.
What is Tell.im?
It is a URL shortening service, similar to many of the others floating around that help to take a very long URL and dramatically chop-it-down-to-a-shorter-length (hopefully). This will make some of our outbound links [...]

February 11, 2010 Gaming

With all of the fun and hilarity garnered through both the single- and multi-player modes in Borderlands and its two DLC’s, it’s only natural that, with the availability of the listing of the new achievements for the upcoming third DLC, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx (and what is this love for two X’s?!?), we’d [...]

February 10, 2010 Gaming

Just when you thought you’d be left wondering the ol’ wuzzup with General Knoxx, there’s more information on the new Xbox achievements to be racked up in the forthcoming third DLC for Borderlands.

February 9, 2010 Convergence

Just when you thought you’d be able to keep your fictitious game characters separate from your, ahem, characters, there’s a bit of bleedthrough, as reported at Destructoid, about General Knoxx and his newly discovered Twitter account.

Note to So-Called Pundits: Are You Kidding?

January 27, 2010 Conferences

As I’m tracking a variety of media channels at the same time as the Apple [AAPL] iPad announcement, I find it curious as to how the human condition, and certainly all of these so-called tech pundits, keeps wanting to compare new tech with old tech.

Smack! Smack! Smack!
