31 is this years number. Am I happy about it? Ever since I hit the big “three O” last year I’ve honestly tried not to think about it. I miss being 21. Hell, 29 was great. Meh.

Do you have $700 to preorder an Xbox 360? EBGames sure would like to think you do. Ridiculous pricing. I really hate the preorder bundling that goes on. If someone wants to buy a system and a single game you can’t preorder it online. You’ll have to stand in line [...]

A Korean man died from playing a game more than 50 hours straight online. Wow. Sadly, this is not the first time something like this has happened in Korea. Online games are extremely addictive. This guy quit his job to play more online games, instead he lost his life. Sad.
