  1. Star Wars 1313? escapistmagazine.com/news/view/1175… Please oh please let this be the Star Wars / Munsters crossover I've always dreamed of. 1:15 PM Jun 1st via web
  2. Disclosure: Not really a Hitman fan myself, and probably wasn't going to get the game either way. So my indignation is mostly irrelevant. 12:29 PM Jun 1st via web
  3. What defense would the Hitman marketing team use? "Honestly, we don't hate women! We're just cheap, stupid, and shallow! That's not wrong!" 12:27 PM Jun 1st via web
  4. Having said that, the thing made me really, really uncomfortable. Shockingly juvenile, and the wrong message to the already-anxious fanbase. 12:07 PM Jun 1st via web
  5. I agree with what @GreyTheTick says escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/… about the new Hitman Trailer. rockpapershotgun.com/2012/05/30/nun… It's stupid, not evil. 12:05 PM Jun 1st via web
  6. Seriously, who runs a 60 second pre-roll ad? That's like an hour in internet time. By the time it ends the vid will be an ironic retro-meme. 6:38 AM May 31st via web
  7. If the Blip.tv ads on that last link annoy you like they did @AndyChalk, here's a YouTube version: youtube.com/watch?v=pWfMjQ… 6:36 AM May 31st via web
  8. This video is the best thing on Gameification I've seen so far. You'll get +3 Shamus friend points for watching! errantsignal.com/blog/?p=275 6:27 AM May 31st via web
  9. Man, I love the postcard entries from @Lileks - It's what the world was doing before I showed up. lileks.com/motels/AZ/10.h… 10:28 PM May 30th via web
  10. Man, Saint's Row The Third is awesome. Really looking forward to Saint's Row the Third 2. 8:51 PM May 30th via web
  11. Talking to daughter about toys. She asks: Has Barbie EVER had a gun / weapon accessory? 8:05 PM May 28th via web
  12. @HedgehogBC Already have done-- scroll down to the middle: shamusyoung.com/author/?page_i… 10:29 AM May 27th via web in reply to HedgehogBC
  13. Considering book binding some article series from Shamusyoung.com, open to suggestions for which would be best (NOT binding DMotR). 7:46 AM May 27th via Facebook
  14. @DerGreenNinja Can't speak for @JimSterling, but I'm not willing to move to CA and work a 60hr+ job. Love games, but I love family more. 6:18 AM May 27th via web in reply to DerGreenNinja
  15. Corollary: I wonder how many of these seeming-random names in Saint's Row 3 are just references that I'm missing. 11:18 AM May 26th via web
