1. How to disable Facebook's latest privacy violation.

2. Neca is going to make toys for Valve.

3. Destructoid on Nintendo's ridiculous (and probably ridiculously expensive) new game controller: "it's shaped in such a way that gripping it doesn't feel as uncomfortable as it looks."

Link roundup

1. The established video game reviewing press has known for at least a week that Brink was a disaster.

2. Steel Divers, which is supposed to really show the 3DS off, was essentially completed for the DS and then repurposed for the 3DS.

3. Captain America wallpaper.
