  1. @Frogdiceinc My pleasure!
  2. @SamitSarkar Veterans are the only people who get grizzled, duh.
  3. OMG Pancakes for dinner was such a good choice. OM NOM NOM.
  4. Plus, THQ really does right by PC gamers, which is something I respect. I'm really pulling for 'em.
  5. THQ is the company of Saints Row 3, Metro 2033, the upcoming Company of Heroes 2, and Darksiders. C'mon, that's a hell of a lineup.
  6. Jason Rubin is now President of THQ? Whoa. Also: THQ does good work. I really hope they can come back and kick ass.
  7. @Derek701 In that case stick around and I'll try to keep the obnoxiousness to a minimum. :-)
  8. @leighalexander @thevowel This is $250, but can run your laptop for six hours and recharge your phone, Vita, and iPad. amazon.com/HyperJuice-Ext…
  9. @Derek701 Honestly, if you just want gaming tweets you're in the wrong place. The official PAR account is just stories, though. :-)
  10. @leighalexander Portable battery. Kind of expensive, but it always saves my butt when traveling.
  11. I'm so tired of this deep seated need we have of attacking people we disagree with until they publicly "apologize" for their views.
  12. Someone in an e-mail just referred to an article in PAR as a PARticle. I support this usage.
  13. This is an amazing tool for smaller developers: dopresskit.com/#what
  14. About to write a negative review. Shaved my beard into a goatee to be Evil Ben. I hope it helps.
  15. Part of my wife's pregnancy cravings seem to be watching the Twilight films on loop. They get weirder through repeated viewing.
  16. @This_Is_Mike_D @PeterSkerritt I think it's like all journalism right now: Tighter budgets means quality is hard to keep up.
  17. @This_Is_Mike_D @PeterSkerritt Most major publications are struggling, no matter how strong the brand. It's brutal out there.
  18. @turbobeta Not really, people send in good suggestions and I have other ways of sorting through the bad stuff. It works out.
  19. @This_Is_Mike_D @PeterSkerritt The trick is to hire a good editor to mold the writers and give these sections voice, but that's expensive.
