You Can't Buy That Kind Of Publicity

Montreal is home to a local independant game store called GameBuzz. They have a great selection, excellent central location and are generally my prefered shop for all things gaming (I have head some complaints about their customer service, though, but have never suffered through any hassles myself).

Penny Arcade just have Gamebuzz the best publicity they'll ever get by giving the _concept_ of the store a huge thumbs up in their latest news posting (scroll down to the bottom of the page). With the readership numbers that PA gets, my best is that our little homegrown Gamebuzz is going to get some franchise inquiries soon. :)

Brittany Aubert

I just saw over on Penny-Arcade that Brittany "my husband is the most romantic geek ever" Aubert is a contestant in this year's PAX Omegathon.

I finally have someone to root for in the most insane competitive gaming competition the world has ever known. Sweet. Steve -- you must be very proud!
