Following the sudden retirement of longtime community leader KC LC, the GMC needed admins. Chronic, who was pretty much the sole active admin after KC LC's retirement, needed help.  <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2010/10/19/the-shifting-game-maker-scene/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The endless hype turned out to be a double-edged sword for Apple however; it raised expectations too high.  When the curtains were pulled off the new iPad yesterday at Apple's keynote, it was immediately (and largely) criticized by many.  And in my opinion, rightfully so.  The device isn't ambitious enough, the cost is too high, and in the end, it just doesn't fit in well with all the other gadgets people already enjoy using.  Here's everything that I think is wrong with the iPad, and why it is already destined for failure. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2010/01/28/the-underwhelming-ipad/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

And what better way is there to fulfill these odd urges than by jumping online and finding all those old videos on YouTube, toys on eBay, and DVD collections on Amazon? <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2009/08/11/one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bing has been running a contest over the last few weeks, in order to help them find a jingle for the site.  The contest simply asked people to record their idea for a jingle, and then submit it to the Bing YouTube page, where the winner would be chosen based on number of views and quality of rating.  The winner was crowned yesterday, and while the video is odd and slightly disturbing, I have to admit - the song is kind of catchy. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2009/08/06/bing-goes-the-internet/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man, I go away for a small vacation and I miss the next big TF2 announcement from Valve!  Not a big deal, really - I did have quite a good time on my trip, so a TF2 update kinda takes a back seat in terms of awesomeness...  but more on that later.  Valve's got a new update page set up for the next TF2 update, and it looks like it's going to be another sweet addition to the game. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2009/05/18/team-fortress-2-update-sniper-and-spy/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

I was not a stranger to the occasional DVD copy.  And I ran an illegal OS with illegal software for years.  Much has changed since those days, however... <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2009/04/21/swashbuckling-under-pressure/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In his writeup, IGN Australia editor Patrick Kolan unveils a list of ten problems that he feels are so rampant in modern game design that they will ultimately lead to the demise of the entire industry.  Upon reading this list, however, you'll probably come to the same (and expected) conclusion that I did: that many of these items aren't really even problems at all, and that being informed about things isn't a requirement of IGN editors. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2009/01/21/you-cant-spell-ignorant-without-ign/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
