Welcome back potential teammates–glad to see some of you are still in one piece. Last week we took a brief look at CC in League of Legends. Are you paying closer attention to the stuns, slows, and silences at play in your games? No, you bought a banshees so you’re covered? It’s a start then, so this week…
Recent weeks have seen a lot of talk about upcoming Steam products, and particularly the prototype touch-centered Steam controller. It’s easy to understand why.

Luckily for…
Never judge a geek by how he looks on the outside. Instead, look at all the cool stuff he has on the inside (of his house). In this day and age, we don’t have to limit ourselves to virtual obsessions. In fact, most of the fictional things we love are available for purchase in completely tangible…
