I do not, in fact, hate Apple... <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2011/10/15/apple-critical/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week, it was announced that the upcoming Mass Effect 3 would feature a multiplayer element, and I find myself utterly disappointed. Why? Because this is just another step towards mediocrity for what started out as a really outstanding series of games. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2011/10/12/mass-effect-3-multiplayer-sigh/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<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>

I'm replacing my old LG Chocolate with an HTC Trophy, which as I am typing this, is currently riding shotgun with some anonymous FedEx driver, getting ready for glorious times ahead with Marty. <a href="http://blog.martincrownover.com/2011/07/08/new-phone-on-the-way/">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>

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>
