  1. Oh, Derrick – how can you bag on Qix? Just get the MAME ROM and play – it can get pretty addictive. It’s especially satisfying when there’s two Qixes and you split them.

    It’s not as hard as you think.

  2. I remember the Chips & Bits website used to let people preorder “Duke Nukem Forever”, back in the very late 90’s. ‘:D (Cracked me up every time I saw the ad… and that was over nine years ago.)

  3. Its really great that you came up with the idea of facilitating a mini game to give away copies of plants vs zombies! yes i will sign up for starcraft II beta.

  • French CS:GO players can preview loot box contents now, but still have to claim them
