Pre-Register with Squenix Members This is for all you die hard Squenix fans. Looks like they are opening up their Member program in the States next week. On the 24th to be exact. As of right now, they are letting those in the know to register their names and accounts to this service. Kind of to let those fans get first crack at their Usernames and such before it goes fully live. Already snagged up Hades on there if anyone was thinking of sniping it from me. :) There is no full word on what exactly will be coming with the Membership program. Read More...

PS3 Firmware v2.20 To Bring BD-LIVE and More Not too big of news, but I know some people will care about it. At least those who either own or are a fan boy of the system.

    Mario. You say the name and almost anyone will instantly associate it with what is arguably the most recognizable character to ever hit the videogame world. The theme song is iconic, his features are undeniable, and slap the name on any product almost guarantees instant success. But how much do we know about the man besides his love for a variety of colourful mushrooms and blondes in dresses (hey, sounds like a great Friday night, yaaaamean?? *wink wink*)? Read More...

So just to update you Minnesota attempted to get a law passed and it failed.  So they thought "hey" lets appeal and well that failed to.

The Massachusetts legislature will be talking about the bill on Tuesday.

MMOvie: Installment 1 Ok, I know I appreciate things like this, so I though you all would as well.

A Small drink and enjoy the first ten minutes of what looks to be an awesome film once it is fully completed. Read More...

While this is old news we are happy to say PWNED.com has made it on Yahoo Biz and we are all happy. While there is no specific paragraph about who and what we are just the fact we are mention is icing on the cake. “The depth and breadth of new coalition partners and sponsors is truly impressive,” said Hal Halpin, the association’s president. “In just over a year we have solidified an amazing list of well-established corporations, non-profits and entities that are not just seeing the potential of the ECA, but doing everything in their power to support us during our formative stages. That says quite a lot about them actually, but it also speaks volumes about game consumers and the faith that these organizations have in us collectively. Read More...
