  1. Happy birthday to my friend and former co-worker @misterpatches. Here's Patches at 11-years-old (on the right) bit.ly/K2d6BF
  2. @coryschmitz Gah! Why must you mention such greatness as Canabalt on Vita when I must wait an indeterminable time for it! Curses!
  3. The trouble with making games for kids. Another smart piece by my editorial comrade @traceylien vrge.co/LMPC89
  4. They left the windows down twitter.com/ctplante/statu…
  5. @sciencegroen I don't really jive with ultraviolent games anymore, but Blood still connects with my inner 10-year-old.
  6. Whoop whoop! RT @evolvetom: Retro City Rampage coming to @GOGcom!
  7. Doom 3 BFG looks cool, but nothing looks as cool as @ohnorosco in a 3D headset vrge.co/LHW1BG #myhero
  8. @sciencegroen Agreed, but still bummed another year goes by without Monolith making Blood 3.
  9. @jhoffman6 I did. I loved it. It had the perfect combination of Bottle Rocket's goofiness and Fantastic Mr. Fox's earnestness.
  10. Look, @Polygon's most anticipated games of E3! @pkollar and I will wrestle to the death for the hand of Mario. vrge.co/KXSV9x
  11. @susanarendt And has the looks of Max Payne to boot!
  12. I rarely brag, but this is one of the finest collections of #longform games writing online. vrge.co/LCeLm7 cc @Polygon
  13. In LA next week? Join us for the @Polygon @Verge party. I'll be there! theverge.com/gaming/2012/5/…
  14. @leighalexander if only they'd set Girls in King's Landing
  15. .@leighalexander op-ed on fearing the hipster developer plus her GoT recap has me wishing she wrote about Girls bit.ly/MY83Gd
  16. @leighalexander Damn, you killed it this weekend.
