If you need a good place to hide your games, controllers, and other nerd accessories (including man-dolls); try this overpriced trunk from Crate&Barrel. This would look great in my living room, but $500 is a little rough.

The 8-Bit Brigade is proud to host the GGN Madden League. Promoting competition and sportmanship, we offer you the opportunity to play against non-douches for your fix of virtual sports glory.
Madden ‘09 has online leagues…kind of like fantasy football, except you play the games in a video game (which is pretty much fantasy football…shut it). Madden online features persistent, real-time stat tracking, win-loss record, playoffs, and a fantasy draft - pretty much everything you could want in an online league.
Because the GGN is FPS-centric, we would like to encourage anyone who plays Madden recreationally to join the league. If you’re a hardcore Madden player and have logged thousands of hours playing online, please look elsewhere. This is a recreational league. All current members of GGN-affiliated clans are welcome to participate.
We will play one abbreviated season with some test pilots to get all the settings correct, then we’ll do a full season. Games are open round-robin and can be played at any time. We will conduct a poll to choose a night or two a week that is convenient for members as designated game nights to help ensure everyone gets a chance to play their games.
Check out this thread on our forum to express your interest or hit up Duster72 or Slitt Vicious on Live.
Thank you to Czar Castic for the banner. Does that mean someone has to be Detroit?

What product isn’t better when you combine it with video games? Oh yeah, movies. Nevertheless, this new spin can only be an improvement to boring brown Jenga pieces.

I guess I need to be part of a big influential gaming community because I would really like a pair of these and definitely cannot shell out $240 right now. Using the flawed more expensive is more better logic, these headphonese are defnitely better than similar products from Tritton or Turtle Beach.
I would love to be able to try them side-by-side, but since that’s not happening, I’ll just sit here and dream.
