I am metaphorically paralyzed with indecesion. It seems nearly impossible to single out only one game on this, perhaps the best of all gaming weeks so far in this 2008 buying season. If you aren't tempted to drop at least a hundred bones on games this week, then your thoughts and customs are alien to me.
Another day, another set of tags done! Some folks have been asking exactly what these tags are and how they work. Every year when we do the donation drive, we create a new forum icon (the little golden symbols under user names) to signify your support of the site. It goes in order, so the first time you donate you'll get the golden key. Here are the icons:

You'd think by now we'd stop being surprised by the outpouring of love and support when we launch the donation drive. And yet, here we are. You guys are amazing! This is an update with the first 100 donors we've tagged. We have more to do, so if you're not on the list, don't panic just yet.
Read what you will into it, but the PS2 has more games coming out this week than the PSP or PS3. I doubt that it says anything relevant about the PS3, but it certainly makes the PS2 look like one of those spunky Mars Rovers.
This year, the Gamers With Jobs crew descended on the Penny Arcade Expo in force, with over 25 members in attendance. Each day was filled with dozens of sessions, tournaments, impromptu gaming and more.
