Because Texas…

texas_secede_mesh_hats-r3763784785be4c108afd62b67ae58ea3_v9wfy_8byvr_512I got involved in one of the wackiest, most bizarre Facebook comment wars I’ve ever seen, so I thought I’d share it.

Anyway, I decided to come up with my own Valentine’s Day cards. And so, I present to you… Read More

Broken Age Top 10

Go buy Broken Age. It is your civic duty as a citizen of whatever noble country you’re from, and a fundamental obligation of all human beings living on this planet. Or maybe it’s not. Sometimes I’m prone to hyperbole. But the world definitely needs more of Tim Schafer and Double Fine. Or maybe just the gaming world, which is like the real world, only better.

Hear me out, though. And when I’m done, maybe you’ll feel inclined to go purchase a copy of the game for reasons. So without further verbal ado, I present to you… Read More
