Goodness gracious, where does the time go? I was catching up on my Joystiq reading when I came across this little gem: A new MechWarrior game is on the way.

I’m the dude who sat around for days pondering why in the hell anyone would want a camera built in to their cell phone. The first efforts were laughable. Horrid quality pictures, noticeable drain on battery life, and a much thicker, heavier device made me think that a camera in a celly would never, ever work.
Fast forward to today and we’re talking about the Zune HD: Microsoft’s latest toy, delving deeper into the Apple (Ahem) pie crust of a sales chart.
