So, Gamestop continues to profit through the sinking American economy. I couldn't be happier for them, really. I figure, since they're on to a great business strategy (however much I hate them), that maybe they'll increase beyond their capacities and implode and leave way for a slightly less shady mainstream game retail chain.

Two Questions of a Soon-to-be Immigrant (by Gareth Higgins)In a few weeks, I will make a life-changing journey. After 33 years of living in Northern Ireland, and for very good reasons, I am about to become an immigrant.

How the iPhone Has Changed the Mobile GameFinally, after weeks/months of waiting I got an iPhone 3G. You may recall the mix-up I had at the AT&T Wireless store which seemed like it would keep me from ever getting one.
