Morning Discussion

Hey hey hey, welcome to Tuesday. This means two things.

First, those in North America should be able to find Dead Space in stores tomorrow. I think it's worth a look, as I came away impressed, and a little scared.

Second, we're one day closer to Friday, which, coincidentally, is when my Xbox 360 comes back from ye olde repair shop. Come home soon darling, I miss you :(

Oh, and if you're one of those Diablo fans, you pretty much need to check out the mind-boggling display of Diablo 3 information that Nick has compiled in his Diablo 3: What We Know So Far preview.

Yeah, burglary sucks. My house was broken into this weekend and my entire computer system was stolen - dual widescreen monitors, the best case ever made, and of course my external HDD with data backups. So now I guess I need to build a new computer and I could use some advice. What is a good multi-use system these days?

    Yeah, they want some proof of forced entry. But these days a lot of locks can be opened in ways that leaves no marks. Key bumping being one of the more famous ones.
