Apologies for a few hiccups we had today, we had one of the machines in the server cluster crap out a bit but for some reason it didnt drop out of rotation. Kinda goofed things up a little bit.

TiVo coming back to DirecTV!
Big ice!
Tobacco gene therapy!
Broadband to skip a generation

As for the the videogame news around these parts for the weekend:

Demigod hands-on preview
Thailand hates games
The Orange Box hits PC sales charts
Battlefield Heroes trailer
Battle.net 2.0 details
Buffy MMO announced
Play Samba and BiA early!
E3 to go public?
Grand Theft Auto saves family
Wii Music screenshots
Eurogamer expo?
Halo 3 Mythic campaign incoming
Xbox 360 price cut is official
EA chasing developers
Spore to sell 2 million first month
Resident Evil 5 control overhaul

Lastly, apparently our site actually works with that newfangled Google Chrome browser, so that's good news. Honestly was really not looking forward to having to deal with yet another browser and all the quirks that I assumed would go along with it. So, if you were worried about your Shacking going wrong with Chrome, fear not!

  We all knew it would happen. They were all doing solo albums, going their own ways, trying new things. And of course, then Yoko Ono started dating Newfoundland and it was really over at that point.
