On my trip back from Miami in March, the airlines lost my luggage. I had some quality T-shirts in there — some of which I can never order again, since they’re out of print now. Because of Continental’s f*ck-up (don’t ever fly with them), I’ve been searching high and low for shirts to fill out my wardrobe again. Threadless sent out their weekly e-mailer today showing off their new shirts, and I now have a shirt to help grow my epic T-shirt collection again....

A sword-wielding frog? A Mac application?...

The United States Postal Service delivered a mysterious package to my door today, return address Forest Hill, London (with postage on the package stating it was sent from New York City). Concerned for my safety (everyone’s a terrorist these days), I carefully opened the package to find the following: A one-kilo brick of Nazi gold (heavy, but a replica), two stickers, and a letter in German. Putting two and two together, this is obviously some sort of tie in with Replay Studios’ stealth action title,Velvet Assassin....

The title has you carefly moving a spinning ball through corridors, using either the Wii Remote or the Wii Balance Board to guide it along.

Valve is continuing its U-turn on the console situation, once again praising the PlayStation 3 and diminishing the Xbox 360. Referring to Xbox Live as a trainwreck, studio head Gabe Newell has stated that Microsoft is going to have to change its online policies in order to compete. “We thought that there would be something that would emerge, because we figured it was a sort of untenable,” says Newell when talking about Xbox Live’s software update policies....

If your Scientist is in dire need of a Sentry Power Core but you’re leveling up far too slowly, then help is on the way! Activision has announced thatTransformers: War for Cybertronis enjoying a Double XP Weekend from this Friday through to Sunday. This is great news as I’ve found that leveling up can be excruciatingly slow. In any case, I’ll definitely be making a point to take advantage of some of this, so if you see a green Seeker getting blown out of the sky every five seconds, make sure you say hello!...
