Well, this year's IT Journalism Awards have come and gone, and unlike previous years, we didn't win anything.

But I'd like to take a moment to congratulate Good Game for taking out Best Multimedia Coverage and Best Title (that last one means they owned everyone else in the room). Yay ABC! Put those tax dollars to award winning work!

This newsletter has a lot of (really quite awesome) tech features and reviews. Unfortunately, there have been no game reviews uploaded to Atomicmpc.com.au this week. So if you don't have the latest copy of Atomic yet, hit up Good Game and stream an episode while you wait for your local newsagent to open.

Have a good week guys.

-DAVE.
