In Sight (A Thank-You to Anthony Burch)


On January 30th, Anthony Burch tweeted that he was leaving his writing job at Gearbox Software to work as a writer for a new Hulu series. This news was was met with mass upset by Gearbox fans and applause by detractors. In other words, this one person’s departure from a company caused the video game community to pause, even if for a second. No small feat for an individual to accomplish.

So who is Burch and how has he reached the point that his actions invoke so much attention?

Well, to many, Anthony Burch is Borderlands. And to those many, Borderlands is something truly special. Far more than a quality FPS game, it is a moment.

But we’ll get there.

Kari and Tory returning to TV sooner than you think!


Here's a bit of good news for your Friday afternoon - in response to the depressing news that Kari, Tory and Grant would be leaving Mythbusters, a very reliable source contacted us this morning. They let us know that at least two of our favorite Mythbusters wouldn't be off the air that long - you'll see them hosting a new show on the Travel Channel later this year. While details were understandably scarce, our source told us they'll be taking us to familiar destinations, but showing us new sides of them we've never seen before.

Good to hear that Tory and Kari, at least, will be back on our screens soon. Here's hoping Grant can get a reboot of Battle Bots off the ground or something.
