We’re giving away a copy of Demon’s Souls with the art book and strategy guide! Conditions-apply-see-post-for-details.

Get far enough into Dinosaurs and Hiragana and you enter word mode where you’re quizzed on words instead of hiragana. Word mode is random, but you can use a password to focus on numbers. Enter countchocula in the password box to skip straight to the number section.

Some of you may have already caught on to this, but we revamped the commenting system at Siliconera over the weekend.

I think the single most requested feature for Siliconera is opening up a message board. You know Siliconera once had forums, but they disappeared because they went unoccupied. That was then and this is now. I’m considering opening up forums again so we can have our own corner of the net to chat and interact [...]

I want to thank everyone for the heartwarming comments in the “Question” post bumped below. I read through all of them (seriously all of them!), noted the suggestions and clearly heard the consensus: keep Siliconera the way it is.
