10 RECENT TWEETS

@harlitrix – I thought I could get some rest over the weekend. Then I remembered EVO 2011 is on. Bye-bye R&R!

@Hewso81 – So this guy at work tells me that the original Dues Ex is overrated tripe…… We are no longer on speaking terms

@Jennacide77 – So its 5am and I’m still awake, but I’m not playing MMOs so therefore it’s ok.

@Sir_JD – Oh wow, I think I just crossed that threshold of “What am I doing?” into “Oh, now I get it….this is amazing!” #dwarffortress

@Erin Marcon – The 3DS has been out for five minutes and already the menu screens are cluttered with junk. The eShop in particular is all over the place.

@Hewso81 – Playing Codblops for the first time in ages. Gonna suck bigtime

@Sir_JD – Currently downloading Dino D-Day, because…well…dinosaurs and stuff…you know?

@Hewso81 – Should I buy Vampire: Masquerade on steam for $5. Will it work on Win 7? These are the questions I have…

@Sir_JD – Wow, From Dust has such a gorgeous, organic style. And colour!

@harlitrix – I really enjoy violent video games. I’d like to invite any ‘expert’ or ‘academic’ to take a look at me and link it to my behaviour. #soapbox

OFF TOPIC

@KarenMJacobson – Bridesmaids was funny, but listening to the women in the tow behind us enthusiastically sing along to Hold On by Wilson Phillips was funnier.
