In an effort to catch up on my freelancing, game playing, and a decently major feature I’m planning for the Ombudsman, I’m taking this post-Christmas, pre-New-Year’s week off from posting here. Can’t go that long without the Big O? Catch up on some of my favorite posts from the year:

• GTA: Montpelier is looking less and less likely
• Hint Hint!
• The First Annual Nintendo DS Awards
• Sex, Lies and Video Games
• VG Ombudsman Trademarks Non-story
• Rob Fahey vs. Microsft
• The Driv3r D3bacl3
• Difficult Questions About “Difficult Questions About Videogames”
• When the Latest News Isn’t
• Whose Press Release is it, Anyway?
