I just want you guys to know, that as I type this Fildopolis is probably burning to the ground. Thats how much I like you. My poor imaginary Sims are dying a slow and painful firey death so that I can bring you the news. Today we have a few more reviews on both of the new video cards that were recently released. I was personally most interesting in the AZiO backlit keyboard reviewed over at OCC, but there were plenty of interesting articles. Hopefully you can find something that made this worthwhile. Many Sims were harmed in the making of this post.

Sorry for the delay in news again, but I had this little thing to do over the weekend. Perhaps you've heard of LanOC? Well they threw a killer Lan party and I was busy socializing. Today because of the delay we have quite a few stories from around the web. There is a review on Heart of the Swarm which is awesome because I haven't really seen one elsewhere. Another article that grabbed my attention was the 10 games to download for Android, perhaps its because I just recently got a new phone or because I am a gamer at heart, but I really enjoyed reading that. Hopefully you have all recovered enough from the Lan to dive back into some news, until next time.
