Preview half of new Queensryche; video available

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

First off, the video for “If I Were King” is available now on Military.com. Check it out here. It’s not bad, although I could use a little more of the storyline video and a little less of Geoff Tate. It’s a little clearer this time that it’s a Somalia and Bosnia vet, [...]

Queensryche Widget

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

I’m really starting to hate the term “widget”. It is one of those ambiguous bandwagons every tech company is jumping on, like Ajax or App Stores or whatever else. There are currently 863 different ways to do widgets, and none of them are compatible with each other.
