15. October 2009
The history of female involvement in video games has been a rocky one. Back in the proverbial day it was unheard of to find a girl that enjoyed playing video games.

Which has inevitably led to female characters in video games to evolve, somewhat.

24. September 2009
When you break down the base formula of super hero video games, you'd think a positive outcome would occur. Superman gets to fly around and punch bad guys through walls and if he wants incinerate them with eye ball laser beams. Who wouldn't want to do that in a video game?

12. August 2009
As self-proclaimed alphanerd, I declare this to be one of the best things on the internet. I don’t have an opinion on the new flick yet but I do know that experiencing the following video alone justifies the movie’s existence.

15. July 2009
"In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight Let those who worship evil's might, Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!"

6. May 2009
How do you know you’re sending too many texts? One indication that you’re sending too many text messages is when you get interviewed by Fox News for sending over 300,000 texts in one month.
