…and I lived to tell the tale. Hi gamers. If you’re like me (and you obviously are, as 4,000+ unique hits to this blog will attest!) you like to play Madden NFL on, most likely, the Xbox 360. If you bought (or threw away) money on Madden NFL 2008 last […]
Hi All, On Monday I finally went out and bought a new handset. The choice: a HTC Touch (not the one with the keyboard though). There is a link to the official site here. Now, of course, this means Windows Mobile 6. The possibilities seem endless! </mad laughter> Let me […]
