		<title>Geek Travel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yep, that&#8217;s right, I&#8217;ve gotten a bit inconsistent in the posting lately. Sorry about the lack of positive posting, but I&#8217;ve been prepping for something I rarely do, and that&#8217;s travel.
Traveling as a geek means that you&#8217;ve got to do what amounts to twice the preparation for twice the convenience later. Sure, in the olden [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Top of the MMO Mountain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yep, that&#8217;s Everest you&#8217;re seeing. What other mountain would I have picked for this topic today? Heh.
Anyone who&#8217;s played an MMO before knows that there is an end, a top, a pinnacle to be reached that everyone aspires to and works towards.  It could take the form of a level cap, the best gear in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Valve&#8217;s Viral Vision</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems that Valve is at it again with some viral marketing, releasing a curious update yesterday to puzzle game darling Portal that included a new achievement and some curious radio message data. If you&#8217;re curious about the shenanigans, you can check Jim Sterling&#8217;s latest article on Destructoid about the Portal craziness, or alternatively the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Game Violence&#8217;s Absurdity Appeal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I began playing the God of War series for the first time (yes, yes, I know, years behind and all that) thanks to the God of War Collection game released for the PS3. I have to say, the game&#8217;s got a kind of charm that keeps me playing, even though I&#8217;m not typically the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Cellphone Arms Race</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a year ago, I sat with my normal texting phone, a slider called the LG Chocolate, and struggled to send messages to keep up with my more modernized, text-happy friends and family. For every message I tapped out with keys that had to be pushed multiple times to reach the right letter, 3 messages [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simple Podcastin&#8217; Poll</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I pose a few questions regarding podcasts to my small but loyal readership:

What things keep you listening to a podcast?
What kind of content do you like to hear in a podcast?
Do you prefer a freeform discussion with few topics or a structured format?

I have a few podcasts in my feed, and might be looking [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Need For Artsy-Fartsy Gameplay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over at Destructoid, Jim Sterling&#8217;s created a bit of a stir with his two articles regarding the &#8220;artsy&#8221; nature of games &#8211; one in which he decries the pretentiousness of indie &#8220;art&#8221; games for eschewing gameplay, and one in which he has to clarify what he was trying to say. The camp of opposition to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Threadless Thursday &#8211; Honey Equals Money, et al</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So maybe I&#8217;m just a slight bit biased, but being from Chicago and being a local Midwesterner, I have to go ahead and support local stores that have done good and made it big. Look, we may have lost the Marshall Field&#8217;s name to that accursed New York Macy&#8217;s, and the Sears Tower to some [...]]]></description>
