  1. 4am, and your humble narrator is getting punchy. *disappears into the night*
  2. @PeterSkerritt Doesn't it feel a bit strange giving your alter ego a #FollowFriday nod? ;)
  3. @Gr1mSag3 poweruprewards.com/PUR/Index/EXPO…
  4. @RareBishop It's basically the 4 minute super preview with some additional footage. Not worth the extra $3 if you can't watch 3D.
  5. So, apparently the general public is invited to (what used to be) the Gamestop Manager's Conference this year?
  6. PSA: If you plan on seeing Men in Black 3, do so in imax 3d or XD 3d. Both have a 6 minute preview of The Amazing Spider Man on the print.
  7. Since when can you "star" friends on Facebook?
  8. I picked up GRFS today, and tempted as I am to open it, I won't yet - not until I finish Max Payne 3 single player.
  9. Weekly World News is back! twitter.com/BetaChris/stat…
  10. I love the fact that Sony resurrected Weekly World News as part of the marketing for #MIB3.
  11. Time to catch the midnight XD 3D showing of Men in Black 3!
  12. Bah, I was excited at the Microsoft email for a minute - "We'd like to interview you" - pity it was only in regards to an MS panel :P
  13. @OneOfSwords I'm thinking PAX Prime 2012, it's time to change that ;)
  14. @OneOfSwords I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, but I've been to four PAXes (3 East, 1 Prime) and have yet to go to one of your panels.
  15. @DoubleFine @TimOfLegend So we're getting *two* new Double Fine developed games with @grumpygamer on board? Huzzah!
  16. Random question: is The Cave the adventure game Double Fine had the Kickstarter for? cc: @DoubleFine @TimOfLegend
  17. Amazon Local has $6 Fandango tickets today! local.amazon.com/boston/B00854Y…
  18. @acosmos Speaking of Bioshock Infinite, any word on that Temporary Game Evangelist posting that has since been pulled?
