They may not have had the chops to secure a top three showing in the Team Fortress 2 Soldier Vs. Demo propaganda challenge, but the contest’s runners-up are unquestionably a credit to team.

While waiting for Blizzard to get Diablo III done, why not play the capable clone Titan Quest on the cheap, now just $4.99 USD, including the Immortal Throne expansion, on Steam. Iron Lore would’ve wanted it that way. [Steam]
Say goodbye to the old Guitar Hero CEO Dan Rosensweig. He’s leaving the position at Activision after less than a year, a year in which the Guitar Hero (and DJ Hero and Band Hero) franchise didn’t do so well. And please welcome the new Guitar Hero boss, David Haddad, formerly the COO of the Guitar…

No, let’s not talk about food again in tonight’s edition of Kotaku Off Topic, despite the weight of two Trader Joe’s hot dogs weighing heavily on my duodenum. Let’s talk about music. Or, you know, whatever. The reason I bring it up is because I went to one of my first shows in quite some…
