Stamp to Celebrate Cpl_Hades' Coming of Age

In the lead-up to Cpl_Hades' 21st birthday Britain's Royal Mail has released a set of stamps to celebrate the CIC staff member's coming of age. The stamps, which went on sale Tuesday -- three weeks before Hades' birthday -- feature photographs taken at Dragon*Con last year. We couldn't be happier for him here at the CIC. The new stamp will also be the first to feature the new 28 pence rate. You can read a more in-depth article on this exciting development at CNN here.

Advance orders have already been taken from collectors and fans. "We are expecting them to be this year's most popular stamps. Our order lines have been extremely busy," a Royal Mail spokesman told the Press Association.

GameCube GameBoy Player Reviewed

TC noticed that IGN has already posted their full review of the device that allows you to play GameBoy games on your TV via your GameCube. More than merely a mod to export signal to your television (which LOAF and I have done), the player module adds a host of new features. Starting next week you'll be able to use a standard GameCube Controller, Wavebird or Joystick to control the Prophecy Advance action. The signal will be resized to tv resolution and LCD flicker will be removed for enhanced picture quality. The game will also be fully anti-aliased. I got a chance to poke one of these things with a Nintendo rep yesterday and they're pretty darn nice. We'll have detailed impressions next week. You can find the full review here or order a GameCube Joystick here.
