		<description><![CDATA[So the other day I was playing Team Fortress 2, and someone accused me of being a "free-to-play noob". I was chided as being one of the newbie players who only recently got into the game because it became free-to-play, despite my owning and playing the game since 2007. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2011/08/05/im-a-team-fortress-2-free-to-play-noob/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After slogging through months of other less interesting updates like the Steam port to Mac and Valve's horribly disappointing E3 "surprise" (Portal 2 on PlayStation 3...  yawn), the addition of Engineer achievements and unique class weapons is a breath of fresh air.  It's the patch that fans have been clamoring for since the inception of class updates for TF2, and it looks like Valve's lost no steam (pun intended!) in providing unique, fun, and rewarding additions to the game. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2010/07/09/team-fortress-2-engineer-update/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After being barraged by a flurry of game announcements on Steam the other day, I decided I'd try out the demo for one of the more interesting looking titles, Torchlight.  I was pleasantly surprised with the game, however — what initially looked to be merely a poor man's Diablo 3 turned out to be a fun and addictive, if somewhat simple, dungeon crawler. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2009/11/08/torchlite-diablo-3-lite/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Though I would normally shun he (or she) who would buy an operating system on launch day, a week ago I bought, downloaded, and installed the newest version of Microsoft's OS, Windows 7.  It's nice to have a modern OS on my recently assembled machine, and though the transition from XP was a bit jarring in some respects, any unexpected problems have been minimal so far.  Overall, I'm glad I made the switch.

Here's a quick run-down of how the (mostly painless) upgrade process went for me, from my old rig turning into a massive paper weight to the re-birth of Windows on my new machine. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2009/10/29/polished-windows-my-windows-7-experience/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
