EA Closes Out Double Down Challenge By Raising $1,000
Enough. I am officially declaring this Double Down-eating developer competition over. Electronic Arts may not have really set the land-speed record for consuming Kentucky Fried lard, but it did raise $1,000 for – wait for it – cancer research.

Blur Tutorial Leaves Me Hot for Teacher
Now that Danica Patrick’s up to speed on things like multiplayer and power-ups, she has the credibility to hold our attention through this tutorial on Blur‘s basics.
