Can 1UP be a verb?  Well, it can in the case of our very own Dennis Murray.  You may notice that Dennis has returned to writing for the site after a short absence.  We would dock his decidedly low pay for bailing on us, if he didn’t have such a good reason.  Dennis is a new daddy.

The young lass is named Aidia McKenzie Murray (Adia, like the Sarah McLachlan song?) and was born March 11, 2008.  Obviously, he has had more important things to worry about as of late.  She weighed in at 6lbs, 130z.  Congratulations Dennis, and thank you for not giving nerds the world over a bad name by giving you kid, well, a bad name like Princess Peach or Master Chief.
