This past Thursday was the Hard Drive Game Awards Presented by Call of Duty Black Ops 7.
While the show was a great success, unfortunately, some things have come to light about one of our winners, and we had to make a hard decision.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Got hit with a service charge when we were out for apres work drinks last night. For six people, in like, a normal bar. Not even a tourist bar, not in temple bar, just a pub that also has food. I feel violated.
