    DLC Quest: The Game Where Everything Simple Must be Purchased

    I'm sure it's clear by now, but we have two minds about DLC at Techgage. In some cases, DLC might offer some real value, but other times it can feel like nothing more than a nickel & dime scheme.

    TaxMasters files for bankruptcy

    I was never familiar with this company aside from seeing their commercials all the time on CNN, I believe it was. Turns out to be a very scammy company. http://money.cnn.com/2012/03/19/news/companies/taxmasters-bankruptcy/index.htm
