Scott Adams Song by Committee: She Amazed Me
A long time reader just sent in a fantastic link over to Scott Adams blog (creator of Dilbert) where he asked his readers to submit portions of a song with lyrics that were nonsensical but almost made sense, which seems to be the case with most pop-songs.

As a follow up to the super-Co-Op that Fable 2 will have in it, I watched the GDC walkthroughs and am here to summarize them for you: NOTE: I am not clear from the walkthrough if the co-op is online or offline only. He talks a lot about the “camera” and how it manages to keep [...]

20. February 2008
Good lord… it’s like Molyneux dug into my brain, found my fantasies, removed all the perverted ones, and decided to design an RPG that makes me cry tears of healing. What am I talking about?

Continue reading...Microsoft Buyout of Epic?
19. February 2008
Ruh-roh! Maybe the booth orientation at GDC is more about Microsoft expecting to buyout Epic and not a Gears of War 2 announcement? Either way, I’m excited to see Microsoft buy Epic, destroy it forcing them to make 10 Gears of War titles (like Halo) then split it off again in 8 years after everyone fucking [...]
