If you've put any significant amount of time into Battlefield 3's multiplayer, chances are pretty good you've encountered some cheating. I'm not just talking about exploits (like those jerks who ride MAVs to get to nearly-impossible-to-defeat positions), but straight up game-ruining hackers. It used to be you just had to worry about wallhacks or aimbots, ...

To any readers interested in the audio bidness, I recommend looking into a subscription to Audio Media.

I Just Don’t Know What to Think Anymore, EA

Dear EA, I've been over this before: in the past two decades or so, you've confused the crap out of me. I've loved you, I've hated you, I've nothinged you. Now, just as you're starting to move pretty solidly back into gamers' collective good graces, you get fast and furious with some pretty serious mixed messages. You've ...

For those TF2 fans out there, thought I'd share the latest news from over at Valve regarding their last round of unlocks to be released.
