Shiniest Objects: We Were Heard
Last week was historical. The internet, including plenty of gaming websites, banded together in protest of SOPA and PIPA and by weeks end both bills were put on hold indefinitely. The war isn’t over, but that was a pretty impressive victory. Locally, we debuted our latest podcast show as well as two additional episodes to our other new show, so in short, we hope you like our voices because we were talking at you a lot.
Every day we are on the look out for the most interesting news items in the gaming industry. Some make it on the site as headlines, and the articles that just miss the cut end up in the Shiny Objects feed on our Horrible Night Newswire Google+ Page. Every Monday we recap the shiniest of the objects, and our original articles from the previous week.
