We've changed the website a bit. And this we have written to you to explain ourselves...
Dear the fine, fine, fine readers of Den Of Geek,
You humble us. We’ve been doing this site now for nearly a decade, and in that time, we’ve never met a finer bunch of readers than you wonderful people. Granted, we’re trying to put you in a good mood, but it’s true. So thank you.
Er, are you in a good mood? Let's continue, with our fingers crossed.
In all the time we've been going, too, we’ve only done a fundamental redesign to the site once, way back in 2012. And here we are again, four years later. We’re thus here to tell you about how we’ve ruined everything all over again.
For if all has gone to plan, you are now reading this on a redesigned Den Of Geek.

Following Huddersfield’s promotion from League One in glorious fashion at Wembley in a nerve wracking penalty shoot out with Sheffield United, this summer has been somewhat of a rebuilding process for the club. Club manager Simon Grayson has wielded the axe by releasing a number of first team players and implementing his own style of play among the team.
Acquiring players who have Championship experience aplenty is not an easy feat however Grayson has dealt his hand and managed to land seven new players. First and foremost we will take a look into the defensive options that have been brought into the club. Paul Dixon is first up, primed as a left back from his time at Dundee United has been brought in to help the ageing Gary Naysmith. Dixon has a licence to venture forward and has proved at times his importance to the squad by cropping up...

A woman who married three times but never divorced her first husband has told of her "total surprise" after police informed her she was a bigamist. Danielle Loxton, from Southport, Merseyside, received a seven-month suspended jail term earlier this week after admitting two counts of bigamy at Nottingham Crown Court. Loxton claims that she thought solicitors had finalised her divorce from first husband Peter Clarke in 1996, despite not receiving any paperwork. The pair have an 18-year-old daughter. In 1999 she married Clarke's friend and Pontins colleague Steven Baker. She later divorced Baker, with whom she has a 12-year-old son, and married Stacey Porter - a friend of both previous husbands - in 2008. They have a 9-year-old son together. "I'll never forget hearing that police officer tell me I was a bigamist," Loxton told the Sunday (more)...

9.45am: Welcome to today's live updates on the still-unfolding repercussions of the phone hacking scandal. Following yesterday's Commons statement and debate, the house in now in recess. Rupert Murdoch has left the UK following his testimony to MPs on Tuesday.
So, on the face of it today could appear a slight respite following an almost absurdly dramatic fortnight. A majority of English daily papers – five against four – lead on other stories, including the unfolding crisis in the eurozone.
But rest assured there will be more to come. Nick Clegg is scheduled to give an end-of-term press conference imminently. Perhaps someone could ask why he looked so detached – disinterested, even – during David Cameron's phone hacking statement. There is also surely...

A pair of suspected killers on the run in the Us have been compared to the depression-era bank robbers. They're not the first . . .
The famous line from the film Bonnie and Clyde was delivered by the latter, played by Warren Beatty: "This here's Miss Bonnie Parker. I'm Clyde Barrow. We rob banks." Now, more than 40 years after that Arthur Penn movie, any time a man, a woman and a gun go on the run together, the chances are they will be compared to the real-life pair of lowlife gangsters who died in a hail of around 50 bullets on a Louisiana back road in 1934. The myth at the time was partly fed by the photos of the pair released by police to a crime-hungry, Depression-era press; the familiar one has Bonnie posing with a cigar.
The latest pairing are John McCluskey, who escaped from prison in Arizona 10 days ago, and fellow-fugitive Casslyn Welch.

'Tis the season for shopping, gift-giving and another less-fortunate holiday tradition: Wrap rage. This is the common name associated with heightened levels of frustration, anger, and potential injury resulting from one's inability to open a package.
While this phenomenon exists all year round, it is brought to a more pronounced level of frenzy during the holiday season. I know this year I will be "raging" as well, as I help my newly adopted seven-year-old open her impenetrably-packaged Christmas toys, complete with an array of endless and unnecessary twist-ties. As a packaging designer, I refuse to go through one more holiday season without applying my design thinking to solving what has become a very widespread problem. More than a ranting, this is a call to action for designers, engineers, brand owners and retailers to focus our collective abilities towards eliminating this phenomenon so we can enjoy our purchases free from irritation and injury.

Who would have thought my training as a young man in the U.S. Marine Corps Band would prepare me to become the founder of a structural packaging agency? Back when I was doing the barbed wire crawl with my M16 or providing the drum beat for a pass and review ceremony, I certainly didn't expect that someday these experiences would help me shape many of the world's best known brands. It was this early foundation of discipline, creative performance, demanding expectations, and commitment to excellence that set the stage for my career in design.
Clarke is the second-from-the-left marching drummer
In the swamps of Paris Island--where I encountered commands and demands, and fielded expectations to perform seemingly impossible feats--i learned firsthand why the Marine Corps is renowned for its elite training. But what really prepared me for the strategic creative leadership I provide today was playing the drums in the Marine Corps Band.
