Spam hurts everyone (some more than others)
I’m sorry to see any print publication go down because of its parent company’s online idiocy. Computer Games Magazine and Massive are being shuttered because its parent company, TheGlobe, got hit with a lawsuit for spamming MySpace. It’s got to … Continue reading

What’s in a Gamertag?
Very good article from the gang at GamesRadar. “And don’t be fooled,” warns Charlie Barratt. “Anyone who chooses a bunny for their tag is trying to project reproductive prowess, not speed or cuteness.” I could go into a dissertation about … Continue reading
