Congrats, Infinity Ward, you’re on my Shit List. I’d tell you why but everyone knows you won’t listen and you’ll just tell us it’s better your way.

Google Voice Just Got Better
Google Voice recently added a feature that really appeals to me. There are times where I work in buildings where I have no service on my cell phone. Google Voice has helped this situation by allowing me to forward my Google Voice number to wherever I am. The problem is, not everyone has my Google Voice number, and even if they did, they’d still see my cell number whenever I call them. If someone calls my cell phone and leaves a message when its out of service, I don’t get the message until I’m on the road, which is usually too late.
The new feature Google Voice has added is allowing me to using Google Voice for voicemail on my cellphone. It doesn’t work with all cell providers but they hit the major ones including US Cellular (who I use) which usually is left by the wayside. Not only does it consolidate voicemail boxes, it also allows me to forward my cell calls to my Google Voice number which then dials any number I set up. So now I can even receive those calls that I would normally miss and I don’t really need to hand out my Google Voice number.
If you’re tired of me raving about Google Voice and just want to try it, I have three invites to hand out. Leave a comment or dm me on twitter with your email address and I’ll hook you up! (If you leave a comment, I’ll already have your email so you don’t need to include it in your comment)
Also, sorry for the lack of posts lately. We’ve been very busy the past few months. I’ll be posting some gaming stuff soon (hopefully).
@mikeyface’s Pre-Order Bonus
If you’ve been following the Borderlands news, you’re probably well aware of the crazy promise Mike Neumann made over Twitter last week. To recap, in case you missed it, Mikey promised valuable loot to anyone who could prove they’ve preordered Borderlands. Of course, I jumped on that offer as fast as I could and earned myself a spot on his list (above… 3rd page, 1st column, 10th name).
I’m very excited about this for three reasons. First, the achievement I previously mentioned which is awarded for playing a co-op game with a Gearbox employee or someone who has the achievement. Obviously this isn’t the most important reason, but it would be cool to achieve this one firsthand.
Second, LOOT! One of the best parts of Borderlands is the loot, even better is free loot from a Gearbox employee. That’s pure money.
Third, and most important, I just want to chat with a Gearbox employee. That would be really cool. I can’t wait for this extremely rare opportunity.
