Preparing for the Flood

It’s only a matter of hours now. If you own an Xbox 360 it’s a pretty safe bet you’ll soon be “finishing the fight” when Halo 3 is released tonight at midnight. Naturally, I—the big geek that I am—have a pre-ordered copy waiting for me and have cleared my schedule …

Only Quick With the Truth

Let me say upfront that I was pretty excited when I got my PSP (it was an unexpected but well-received birthday gift back in early ’06). I had previously opted to get a DS (also a well-received gift), partly because it was more affordable, but also because I believed it …
