Evening Reading
Steve Gibson
1367
Cant say I'm super excited about the PS3 or Wii really but I do look forward to hearing from people who do get the consoles. Pretty sure I'll end up getting a Wii first for some Zelda action. Plus it will probably be near impossible to get a PS3 for a while anyways.

- Here comes 12 million iPhones
- Old fogeys like games
- Pot reform?
- You cant learn any new tricks
- Authorities bust gambling ring, probably financed in part by powerball tickets

Lastly, not sure anyone is really surprised but the Zune isnt exactly flying off shelves quite yet. Is it doomed?

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.

          nothing wrong with enough beer to last for 8 months, though

            I would avoid sending any liquids. In my WE of last year, a coke can burst due to the cold, covering a buncha stuff in sticky goo. Aside from that, skruff sent a completely kickass WE.

            Anyone who is willing to send me alcohol and/or unprescribed painkillers is a winner in my book.

            It's not the danger to the person by the animal, it's the danger to the animal by the random nerd.
