Daily Dead Updates: Daily Dead is currently in Beta testing mode, so we're still ironing out the layout, staff, and features. We have new features and layout updates planned for the middle of June and we're also bringing in some new contributors over the next couple of weeks. Some will be helping with news, while others will be working on article features for the site. If your interested in helping out Daily Dead, let us know.
