Check out the ultimate in fan-created Mario goodness: Super Mario Brothers X. This game combines elements from every Mario game ever made into one, and the result is a lot of fun.

There are few better ways to entertain or educate oneself while on the go than a podcast. All you need is an MP3 player or smartphone and a pair of earbuds.

If there’s one thing I love to do to release stress after a hard day is to sit back with a good first person shooter game and just let loose with the mayhem. I’m talking about running across mine fields, blasting everything that moves to pieces, and creating chain reaction explosions. An hour or so [...]
