Veteran-Owned Modern Tactical Sells Security in Lansdale

Modern Tactical celebrates its grand opening Friday. The retailer, owned by Lansdale residents and veterans, sells firearms, tactical gear and more at its 3 W. Main St. location.

You can guarantee that a store like veteran-owned Modern Tactical, which deals in security, has the best security around. "Wait and see," said co-owner Joe Junguzza about those in the general community trepidatious of Modern Tactical opening in Lansdale. "We live here," he said, "and if we felt like opening a store would be a detriment to the town, we wouldn't have opened one in our backyard. It was difficult finding a location and one in a business-friendly town. Lansdale had both."  Before talk of gun rights and similar headlines inundated the press and politics, military veterans Junguzza and Kevin Messmer, both of Lansdale, and Ross Lieberman, of Philadelphia, had a plan two years in the making to open a tactical gear and firearms …

WTF! My PSN is Down!

Offline for nearly 10 days and counting, The Great Playstation Network Outage of 2011 rages on.

Only three months ago, along with many other gaming journalists, I declared 2011 as The Year of the Playstation 3. With a laundry list of AAA exclusive titles lined up that easily eclipsed the competition, it sure looked like Sony’s console had a lot more going for it than anyone else in the field. I almost had the title right. As it turns out, when it comes to the popular gaming system, 2011 will more likely be remembered as The Year of the Playstation 3 Outage. Inexplicably at the time, the Playstation Network suddenly went offline on Wednesday, April 20th. No services requiring internet connectivity could be accessed: no Netflix, no Playstation Store, and most importantly, no online gaming. It was particularly bad timing, as just the …

Classic—an article about how Sony has completely and utterly dropped the ball ends with "Pick up Sony PS3, its peripherals ..." :P Anyway, my article that hits Doylestown Patch later this morning takes a much darker spin on the affair.   more ›

Game Review: Sanctum

An inexpensive indie title available on Steam serves as a first attempt at combining two popular gaming genres, and it succeeds.

If you're a gamer, you're familiar with first-person shooter games. You may also be familiar with tower defense games. But no one has attempted to combine the two genres. Indie developer Coffee Stain Studios apparently noticed this.  In order to capitalize on an untapped concept, they put their heads together and came up with Sanctum, and it has been dubbed the first game to serve as both a first-person shooter and a tower defense game. There isn't much to the story: You play the role of Skye, a futuristic female soldier with a large cybernetic left arm who is sent to protect her home of Elysion One from what seems to be an endless supply of alien-ish enemies. But story in this game doesn't matter, as it's just a way to explain why you …

Steam on the PS3: What Does It Mean?

Valve has announced that their anticipated title Portal 2 will run on a new version of Steam built for the Playstation 3. Here is why this could be big news for Sony's console.

Co-founder of the popular video game development company, Valve, Gabe Newell and his relationship with Sony's Playstation 3 has been somewhat of a roller-coaster. Back in 2007, he was very vocal and forward about his disapproval of the game console: "[The Playstation 3 is] a waste of everybody's time and a disaster on many levels ... I'd say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a do over. Just say, 'This was a horrible disaster and we're sorry and we're going to stop selling this and stop trying to convince people to develop for it'." Tell us how you really feel, Gabe! This is precisely why there was a good deal of shock over his appearance on stage during Sony's keynote at E3 2010. Evidently, he was displeased at how…
