by Jacob P. December 31st, 2009 | Television, Video Games
Recently, I was at a friend's house, and we were playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on his Xbox 360.  Well, as we played, we used his gaming chair, which made me think about writing an article.

by Chris February 16th, 2008 | Video Games
