Penny Arcade weighs in on Windows 7

Edit: I was cleaning my keyboard of Fritos crumbs and sent a delightful little empty post to those who have me on an RSS Feed. Not to criticize blogger, but, seriously, 'Post Publicly' is the default button? Not, you know, 'Save as Draft'? Someday I'll talk about fun with usability and that's a pretty big fail.

So, anyway, Penny Arcade (it's not for everyone kiddos) reviews games and technology for gamers and the like, and their PAX (Penny Arcade eXpo) pretty much allowed E3 to die quitely as it deserved. It's interesting that they pretty much savage games and design flaws in systems, and yet had this to say about Windows 7.

Penny Arcade

High praise indeed.

Neat little quiz

It's a little quiz to figure out what type of gamer you are. I believe it's meant to be for video games, but I used my experience with Dungeons and Dragons to answer the questions.
