X-oom Podcast Studio Review
Everywhere I go, I see people with iPods. They started with less than 1GB of space, went up to 2GB and 4GB, and then there were rumors roaming the web about an astoundingly huge 30GB version… with video.

Perhaps the shortest game and guide I’ve ever played and made. Got an early copy. OOOOO, I’m really climbing the ladder here huh? Cool anyway, and this is one slippery slope I’ll take on head first. Good game, and funnier than I expected, especially since I’ve never played any of the previous ones. I can [...]
