A Gift Card in $60 increments – the last few weeks have seen major releases such as Battlefield 3, Skyrim, and Modern Warfare 3. It might seem like a good idea to buy your gamer a game, but the hardest of the hardcore already have bought these, and if not … maybe they would rather play something else. You can get your gamer a gift card on Steam for PC games, or on Amazon for everything else. Most top games are $60 each so use that as a guideline and make someone happy!

(When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.
