    Like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon of spun 1s and 0s, Cryptic Studios' website has transformed into a sleek animal. More than just a new look, Crypticstudios.com sports a few interesting surprises. It seems as though the company is deep into "a least one" additional project on top of Star Trek Online, Champions Online and Neverwinter. This unnamed "top secret" project for Atari sparks our imagination. The studio's In Development page has this to say: "We're very excited about what we're working on. Like Neverwinter, our Top Secret work represents our continued commitment to diversify and reach beyond the boundaries of traditional MMORPG gaming. We can't wait to show you more!" Continuing our tour of the site, Cryptic has posted a number of job openings on its Careers page. It looks as though the company is looking for several artists, a content game designer, a senior producer and several other positions. Head on over to the company's website to check out Cryptic's new digs.

  • How do you hold your iPhone?

    With all the talk about the Death Grip, we've been discussing how we hold our iPhones. Most people, right-handed or left, have their own preference. Additionally, each person has several positions: One-handed carry, while not using the phone; one-handed swipe and tap with a thumb; two-handed touch type (usually the same for gaming/using apps) and the position used during a phone call. We want to see how you hold your iPhone. Take a picture and add it to our Flickr pool with the tag "iphonehold." I chose to photograph myself holding my 3GS in the "one handed swipe and tap" position, as that's how I hold it most often. But you can photograph any position you like. If you don't have an iPhone 4, post a picture anyway. We'll review them during the week and offer a round-up later.
