Amazon slates Star Wars Battlefront III for a March 2009 release
By Chris Scott Barr on Wednesday, Jul 9th 2008 No CommentsThe internet is a strange creature. With vast amounts of information readily available at our fingertips, we can find out nearly anything with a few keywords and clicks. Usually it turns out to be good for us, and bad for large companies that wish to keep some information private.

Strange ad depicts widescreen Nintendo DS
By Chris Scott Barr on Tuesday, Jul 8th 2008 1 CommentI haven’t read Nintendo Power since sometime in the 90’s, before I discovered the internet.

By Chris Scott Barr on Tuesday, Jul 8th 2008 No CommentsMerriam-Webster is doing its best to be up-to-date with all of the latest in popular words.
