They’d whisper fake words into each other’s ears, and as soon as I got close enough to barely make out what they were saying, they would both whisper (albeit slightly louder to make sure I heard): “Don’t tell Rachel.”  It drove me nuts. I just had to know what I wasn’t supposed to know!  Read More →

25 Hours Can Truly Make a Difference! Join Us For The Extra Life Marathon.

Gamers usually start out falling in love with video games at a very young age.

Sony/Microsoft Could Make Nintendo Very Uncomfortable This Holiday

This last Wednesday, Sony announced the coming of the PlayStation 4.  More importantly, it appears that they’ll be breaking from a traditional Spring release in North America to land on shelves this holiday season.  Provided Microsoft follows suit with the Xbox 720 launch, Nintendo could find themselves in a very compromising situation with the Wii U.
