Windows Phone Flagship Lumia 900 Cut To $49.99, A Sign Of Things To Come?
Rasputin Loves It!
Here’s the thing: the Lumia 900 is a really good phone. It’s the first major device out of Microsoft’s relationship with Nokia and just like the original Xbox’s early drastic price cut to compete with PS2, the two Windows Phone partners launched the new phone at $99.99 to get the phone (and its platform) out to millions of new customers. The problem is, halving the price after two months is a little scary.

Being Flynn Review: De Niro’s Finally Acting Again
In Being Flynn, Robert De Niro takes a break from a decade of giving bland performances in shitty movies (Stardust excepted) to give a great performance in an above average movie. One could argue that the rather simple story of damaged young man reuniting with his delusional, near-sociopathic father shouldn’t merit resurfacing of De Niro’s dormant talent, but I don’t care. As a longtime fan of De Niro, particularly the work he did from 1973-1997, I’m just happy to see him actually acting again instead of collecting massive paychecks in exchange for sleepwalking through bad movies.

Watch This! Assassin’s Creed III “Boston” Playthrough & Hitman Absolution “Streets of Hope” Playthrough
Boom! Just released playthrough videos of Assassin’s Creed III from San Diego Comic-Con and Hitman Absolution from E3. Both of these games look sick and I will be picking them up but I am an Assassin’s Creed fan so I’m gonna have to say that AC3 is looking way hotter. I’ve got a little beef with both games though that may just be picky or you may be wondering the same thing. Nonetheless, take a seat and enjoy. Read the rest of this article…
Charlie Sheen Just Quit the Internet
Wow, it was only a year ago I wrote how Charlie Sheen just joined the internet and now only 16 months, 7.7 million followers and 1,196 tweets he has decided to give it up. Pretty much just leaving the internet at this point right? Maybe it’s because he has a new show and he is too busy to tweet. Not according to inside sources though who claim, Charlie wasn’t getting anything out of the social network. Who gets anything out of Twitter really except news fast? His last tweet?

Ikariam – Strategy On The Web, That WORKS! Also, Ambrosia Giveaway.
Build your island, expand your territory, grow your empire.
The people at Gameforge contacted me about Ikariam and asked me if I wanted to check out their game, after a major update. I thought “meh, I don’t really care for web based games because they always seem like they’re not quite finished and they don’t really ever seem to work very well”.
I do, however, enjoy reviewing games – good or bad – so I figured I’d buckle in and take her for a spin. To be honest, I’m glad I did.

Should I Buy A Nexus 7? You Tell Me!
Mine would be lined with Babylon 5 and Parenthood items and paraphernalia.
Usually in an article like this, I’d pose the question to you, the reader, and then supplement it with a generalizing answer. In much the same way I get star struck when a famous person I know steps in the room (I’m taking medication, for those concerned), I get super giddy when quantities of a new piece of tech or gaming fall through and people are left scrounging for an opportunity to get their hands on one. It happened with World of Warcraft in 2005, it almost happened with both a second-generation iPad and an HP TouchPad last year (I was against the GNex before I was for it). Now the Nexus 7 is slowly leaking out via rare online vendor and I’m pondering the questionable purchase again. At $199.99 (or rather, $249.99 for the 16GB version), can I go wrong?
Bro, EA Wants You To Play Medal Of Honor: Warfighter’s Multiplayer, yo!
Oh, it’s all quiet and recreational until someone gets the Osprey.
We didn’t get to see as much of Medal of Honor: Warfighter at this past E3 as we would’ve liked, because EA forgot our invitation, but we don’t feel too terribly bad about it anymore. The guys who created Medal of Honor, which made this whole pop-action military fighting genre popular, went on to do Call of Duty, but then came back to do, uh, something. Meanwhile, the Medal of Honor team has struggled to bring a winner to the fold while Call of Duty continues to win the hearts and minds of gamers. Well, we have a big heart for the underdog (as ironic as that sounds), and we’ve included the new multiplayer trailer for the game’s Fire Team mode and a new Vietnamese setting.

The Older Gamers – For Older Gamers!
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article about the oldest group in gaming history. It’s awesome to think about a group of gamers who have been around for almost a quarter of a century and have been active that whole time.
A few days ago, another gaming group came to my attention and they’re also an old gaming group but in a different way…They’re not old because they’ve been around for a quarter of a century, they’re old because in order to be a member, YOU have to have been around for a quarter of a century.
