HOME is where the cash is…

The console wars over the last 2 generations have been something akin to the “Tortoise and the Hare”, with Microsoft taking the slow, steady approach and Sony using it’s bravado to assure the world that the race is over before it’s begun. The departure from the story, is that no one saw the Frog […]

A Fantastic Online League

Let’s face the facts. We rarely finish what we start regarding online leagues and tournaments.

5,213 DSP forum posts…but this is my virgin blog entry!

I’m not sure whether I should be proud or embarrassed by the number of my forum posts.  It either proves that I am vastly underemployed or an active contributer to a superb online community.  Although I’d prefer the latter, I guess the bottom line is that it indicates that I have a lot to say.  I figured the DSP blog would be a good place to […]

Racing games lead to risky driving?

CNN reports on an article to be published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, which supposedly presents evidence that playing driving games increases risk-taking behavior in subsequent driving.
