The Daily Hotness: OCD 4 lyfe

Chad wrote a feature today on the irrational things he does in videogames and it frightened me. I’m guilty of almost all of these acts also. We’re like obsessive-compulsive brothers.

Shank came out today and we have a review. Dead Nation snuck in a beta, a deluxe Sims 3 is on the way, PAX is embracing chiptune performers and more happened on 8/24/2010.
