Oh yes, and what a week!

There have been more censorship murmurings with the news that GTA 4 will be censored in Australia. Freeform computer discussion was had at BarCamp. And Ashton’s told us everything about our favourite drug.

One more thing: if I mysteriously disappear from the face of the planet in the next few weeks, question the EB Games executives.

Read and spread the knowledge!

-DAVE.
