September 6, 2012. What kind of a day was that, you ask? Pretty boring if you ask me! Spice it up and read some entertaining news.

The Walking Dead episodes continue to impress me. After a somewhat infuriating run of deaths in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, I did eventually finish it, but I really needed a game that was more dialogue than action. And Telltale came through once again.

Try to stay away from spoilers as much as you can if you haven't played it. Otherwise, it will definitely lose some of its dramatic impact.

• "Action roommate posted something interesting to me on his Facebook page. Paraphrasing, he recommended that people unsure of what to do with their lives look into computer programming as a career, stating that for every programmer in his area he estimates there are 2-4 jobs available.

  So... programmers... Any suggestions on how to introduce a child to computer programming? Assume that the parent is not a programmer. What would be a first step down that path?" [by edgewise]
