After a tumultuous first round of bracket play in the Digital Games, things are falling into place for the second round.
In Counter-Strike: 1.6 Europe, first-seeded emulate look to drop #16 peXg.young.cs, while #2 neP face off against #15 LowLandLions.cs. emulate are already world champions in a different tournament, so it should come as no surprise that they are heavily favored to have their way with this bracket. We will see, however, if a lower seed can upset them.
The North American Call of Duty 4 PS3 bracket sees #1 ONEARMYONELIFE matched against DeathB4Dishonor, while #2 Fear is Better Than Respect will fight#15 Hippo Attack force.

Today Ubisoft and Valve announced that Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway is now available for pre-order via Steam. The real kicker of the deal is, that if you do pre-order the game, you get a free copy of Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 for free.
If you haven’t played any of the Brothers in Arms games, they are worth a look. They offer a unique first-person shooter experience by forgoing the standard FPS gameplay in favor of a more squad based form of combat. The game actually plays like a first-person strategy game.
This is just one of the many reasons I love Steam. Aside from the great library of games they offer, they are always having awesome deals like this. If you don’t have Steam installed, what are you waiting for? Check it out.

Things are more serious for the missing BDangerous clan than originally thought. Not only have they been locked in the basement of a warehouse by Thai mobsters but their crazed captor is forcing them to solve weekly puzzles–one of the clan will be marked for termination if we don’t step in and help out.
The rescue mission, lead by Slayher (sister of 2600, a member of B Dangerous) is going into high gear. Slayher has put up some prizes for the most helpful members of the “Save B Dangerous” group–weekly prize packs and an Xbox 360 / 32″ HD TV combo are up for grabs.
Tune in to www.SaveBDangerous.com to solve the puzzles, look for clues, and bring B Dangerous home!
