EA Layoffs? We're hiring.

I heard that EA just laid off 600 employees. 

Torpex Games is hiring programmers and artists.  Our jobs page is out-of-date - we're looking for all levels of experience.  If you don't want to move to Washington, working remotely is a possibility.

E-mail us at [jobs at torpexgames.com] if you're interested.

Brasso Fixes game DVDs? Crazy.

I assumed it was some kind of internet hoax, like shows on YouTube that tell you how you can steal cable TV with a plastic fork and aluminum foil, but I figured I had nothing to lose...so I bought some Brasso, tried to rub out the scuffs with it...they never did totally come out (and I got some new scratches from rubbing)...and yet, my Rock Band 2 disc, which was practically unplayable, has not had a read error since!
