There are a few areas that need 4 players too. So cruel.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Don't look at me, I'm playing Old Snakey in gmail.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I killed DEAD all the batteries in my favorite controller, so I'm taking that as a sign that I should probably take a wee break while it recharges.

Fallout 3 is OMGAMAZINGFUCKYEAH

And did I mention that it's kinda good?

(But the hub finished the fucking giant radioactive fire-breathing ant mission before I did. Fucker.)

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

I am LOVING Fable 2. One might say a tad addicted.

not your mom's socks.

amych, in addition to being completely compiled out of awesome, is turning me towards this Fallout 3.

although this is interesting too (given that I have a wee EA wince-factor, this is not insubstantial): Left 4 Dead

Fallout 3 is definitely on my to get someday list. I figure it will also make me feel better about America after 8 years of Bush, it could be worse.

Hmm... that's an interesting marketing angle for Bush's inevitable attempts at a career rehab. "Yeah, he was bad, but at least he didn't leave Washington DC in a steaming pile of radioactive mutant-filled ruins!"

Ann, that's a ferret.

"Yeah, he was bad, but at least he didn't leave Washington DC in a steaming pile of radioactive mutant-filled ruins!"

I don't know. If I got the right mutations....

Some of the mutations are right handy, let me tell you.

(Seriously, the DC aspect of the game freaks me out more than a little, which is a testament to how well done it is -- and probably even more so because I grew up there and haven't been back often enough since; I don't have daily reality to check the game against, so instead I keep looking at my map and saying, "waitaminnit this is approximately MY NEIGHBORHOOD")

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Topps announced today that they are killing WizKids. I suspect it has more to do with protecting their core business than that WizKids was losing money. Not that WK was doing gangbusters, but I don't think it was doing so bad that the whole thing needed to be folded up...
