Oculus Rift inventor and co-founder Palmer Luckey shared a cautionary tale of sorts when we asked for anecdotes on the VR rig's testing procedures.

New Illinois law bans Alcopop depictions from children's games
We'll be the first ones to admit when video games cross the line in terms of containing content not suitable for kids -- GTA IV, for instance, contains a cornucopia of foul language and violence that youngsters probably shouldn't be privy to.

Spanish for people with fathers who can't stay off the sauce
With all the attention we've given My French Coach this past week, we thought it only right that we share one of the useful phrases from Ubisoft's other language trainer for the DS, My Spanish Coach.

Correcting the record on New York's proposed game laws
When the Inquirer erroneously claimed that New York was planning a "video game ban for under 30s," we just added another mark on our "wacky Inquirer story" tally sheet.
