Arguing about Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a lot like talking politics or religion. The two sides immediately polarize into their respective camps and begin lobbing angry comments at each other over blog-walls and forum moderators.

January 5th - January 9th

You might reasonably think that I'm only picking Saints Row 2 for the PC as Game of the Week because it's an otherwise crappy week for releases. Considering the product and based on previous experience, you'd be forgiven for thinking this way, but the truth is I'd be inclined to give Saints Row 2 the nod even in a much more dense and competitive environment.
As a rule, we at Gamerswithjobs avoid putting together any kind of intenal Game of the Year awards, primarily because the debate over the value and standards of such a thing would result in bloodshed, assault charges and the very likely ritual suicide of our own literary leporidae.

Merry Christmas from GWJ

As I sit here in my hand-knit and super-awesome Jayne hat replica -- a treasured gift which I can only assure you looks terrific on me -- I want to take this opportunity to wish the GWJ community a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Prosperous New Years from all of us.

Accidental High Five

Straight back. Knees slightly bent. Abdomen tight. I strain, lifting the iron plates off the floor for the last time. Warm red tension floods my hamstrings, starting at my heels and climbing my back. A short "hup!" involuntarily sneaks out between my teeth. Pause. Lower. The plates ring. I sit. “Nice lifts eh? Take it easy,” says Pedro.
