Morning Discussion

Oh, it's all fun and games here at Shacknews. Chris gallivants around QuakeCon, cosying up to id CEOs and superstars. Nick kicks back at BlizzCon to reacquaint himself with his dear friend the wizaaaaaaard and befriend Diablo 3's monk. Even Maarten's in on the fun, hitting up Gamescom to enjoy countless video games in a sophisticated European manner including Borderlands, which he said looked particularly splendid before sucking on a clove cigarillo.

Me? Well, knowing that events are far more work than they might appear to be, I'm secretly a little glad that I end up staffing the office to post the flood of media, even if it does mean I miss out on playing all the fancy pants video games before the hoi polloi.

Oh I finally found something I don't know about or I am not the best at (besides math)

I don't know anything about luggage. What is the best premium hardcore luggage. I need to get new stuff I broke my old stuff. I was thinking the victorinox cases since I like their logo. Also does anyone else think luggage is a really stupid word? It is because you "lug" it around, so it is luggage. I don't like the word suitcases either.

Who can recommend some really good personal cargo container brands??

      I have a mid-size carry-all I use for daytrips and places where I just need a few toiletries and a change of clothes, and I absolutely love it. I have a friend with the laptop bag and she agrees - it's not as good as some other higher-quality laptop and messenger bags you can get from folks like Timbuk2, but their carry-alls are pretty good. :)
