I am talking about a free service called: OpenDNS
DNS servers are the devices on the internet that help direct you to the correct server when you enter gamerscircle.net in your browser.
Chances are, your ISP’s DNS servers are slow or out of date. Also, they may be all the way across the country, or even on the other side of an ocean. There are better DNS services out there. I recommend OpenDNS, a free service. OpenDNS speeds your internet connection by ensuring you hit a DNS server geographically closer (and more reliable) than your ISP’s. A bonus for parents: parental controls.
All it takes is to manually configure your router or internet connection to direct all DNS requests to OpenDNS instead of your ISP’s DNS servers. The service is free with registration, and OpenDNS has easy to follow instructions on its website. The trade off is that Google search results will show up (complete with ads) when you mistype a URL. It’s a small price to pay. And chances are, your browser already performs these typo searches anyway.

They are in the house:
Well, sort of – Upper Deck sent us a starter so that we can start to get ramped up on the game. I first talked about this and to be honest, I didn’t think much about it, until I went to Las Vegas for the retailer summit. There I sat down with an upper deck rep and played the game. It was easy, fast and re-playable too.
