The marvellous parody ‘end call’ sticker for the iPhone? Well, now they’re really for sale on etsy.
Slightly more seriously, the free case program is now in full swing. iPhone 4 owners who already bought a Bumper from Apple or AT&T can get a refund, while those who haven’t gotten one can choose between a free Bumper or a selection of third-party cases.
It’s 1977. I’m 12 years old. It’s a gorgeous Northern BC summer day, one of those glorious fleeting perfect days that are all the sweeter in the frozen north, because the memories of mud and slush barely fade before the leaves have already begun to turn again. Utterly pure blue sky, sun warm on the skin, grass a deep impatient green, a light breeze off the lake that is so invigoratingly packed with oxygen and piney perfume it might as well be cocaine. I’m playing third base, it’s what we’d call little league if we called it that in Canada back then, I’m just beginning to feel the awkwardness of adolescence, but the sheer pleasure of being alive and standing on that dirt under that gigantic bowl of sky on that day is more than enough to let me ignore my self-consciousness. I’m a big, strong kid, and even if I’m more bookworm than jock, I enjoy sports.

Well, hell, it’s been a long time. I’m sorry for the disruption in service. To make up for it, I’m giving away 2 copies of Portal 2. You might have heard of Portal, it helped launch the Orange box, made TF2 a household name (at least in my circle of friends) So, here is the [...]

Seriously. Every joke has been made. All the snark has been used up. Every dead horse has been revived and then beaten to death again. Yet, it seems we’re on it again: Gearbox Software, makers of Borderlands, has officially confirmed picking up the development of Duke Nukem Forever where 3DRealms left it, and release is [...]
And once again, we return to you belatedly and with sadness in our hearts. Real life stupidly keeps on intruding into our efforts to bring you our particular brand of meaningless babble, and so here we are. This week, we cover such late-breaking news as Ubisoft removing the DRM from From Dust, freeing us to [...]
