Last Week’s Headlines 1100 Rock Band songs were on sale last week Borderlands 2 is apparently more Borderlands The good doctors of Bioware announce their retirement from the video game [...]

Horrible Newswire: Kickstarter Holodeck

If anyone can build the stepping stones to bringing the holodeck in real life, I trust in John Carmack. Also, I gotta say Conan’s Clueless Gamer series is really winning me over.
