Win Killer Bling via Twitter
There is no doubt that people love our Killer Bling. Whenever we bring some out to expos and events, the second people see it, they want it. And why not? It looks absolutely awesome! However, it is also a pretty rare thing to find out in the wild. So, if you've been wanting to deck yourself out with a giant Killer K, or add it to your geek shrine (we all have those, right?) this is your chance. If you have a Twitter account, you just need to retweet this tweet from us for a chance to win.

Post GDC Wrap Up
Hero Engine
Earlier this month, we attended the Game Developers Conference in San Fransisco. GDC is an amazing event where people in the game industry, or looking to get into the game industry, come from throughout the world to learn about how to expand their trade and better themselves as professionals. It also is an excellent place to check out some of the latest games and technology that will be making a big impact on the industry. We took part in this event, both by having a number of us attending conferences and summits, but also by having a booth on the show floor where we were able to show off the Killer Xeno Pro in all its glory - complete with side-by-side videos showing the Xeno crushing standard NIC's in game performance and an amazing live demonstration showing the Xeno's latency performance against a standard NIC. Visitors were wow'd, developers were intrigued, and everyone had a good time.
There were a lot of highlights from this years show, too. Sony, Intel, NVIDIA, Activision Blizzard, and even Palm had giant booths showing off both upcoming games and some amazing new technology. AFK Interactive had a pretty neat product, letting you control your online games from your cell phone, CCP was handing out free drinks, the Hero Engine was putting up a great case for why developers should use them, and the mysterious company known as Zombrex (less mysterious after some googling) was working to prevent a zombie outbreak right across the aisle from us.
But, no doubt I could go on for ages about the cool stuff I saw this year at GDC. Instead, I'll link you to a gallery of images that we got from the show.
