Dear reader, you may have noticed the nonsensical and oft bewildering sub-titles that accompany our News Roundup. While I understand your suspicions that these are the result of a million monkeys banging away at Mac Books, the truth is much more mundane. Each title is painstakingly crafted from the words included in the titles of the news posts being rounded up, often with hilarious results.
Randy Kalista was our resident news wrangler for a good half of the year. I took over when he went on hiatus to pursue other goals. While he and I take different approaches to the crafting of the News Roundup title one thing remains the same; they're gosh darn funny. Without further ado, here are the Gaming Nexus staff's top picks of News Roundup titles for 2009:
