PC GAMING IS DEAD!!!
Well that is what Ive heard several times over the holidays from several different gaming podcast, specifically Shane Bettenhausin of 1up. Why is PC gaming dead? I ask myself. Me personally, I see some troubling things going on when it comes to PC gaming, but I wouldn’t consider it to be dead. [...]

There are a lot of Social networks out there such as Facebook and Mybloglogs. There are even little games you can play on those social networks. Then you have game networks such as Xbox live and Steam that are game focused with some social and community aspects. Doof.com does something a little different than many [...]

A while ago I created a list of my favorite Podcast and recently I got a little surprise, sortof a combination of the 2 in one podcast.

When Halo 3 released and [...]

Halo 3 will be in a lot of your hands very soon. I’m excited about Halo 3 like not many other games in my lifetime. But there are a few. I was thinking about what games, FPS’s in particular, have brought me joy and excitement like the Halo franchise. Come to find out, there has [...]

Another little interesting thing I ran across while checking out my Mybloglog.com profile is this very cool Xbox mod.
Introducing the Xbox Mini!!!
Yea its a mod of the original Xbox, not the 360. Perfect case mod for a modded Xbox running XBMC. I know many of you Xbox owners are probably not using that console anymore [...]

They say only 1% of console users have hacked or modded their console. Many might not know about all the extra functionality you can get from modding or hacking that console.
