I know it didn’t capture the zeitgeist, but Gears 5 is a very fucking fun game. So, I’m stoked that the dude who oversaw that game is now Lead Dude on Diablo IV for Blizzard.

Monday Morning Commute: Good News

monday morning commute good news

What’s up, my friends? I must confess I’ve been staring at an empty text box for the past ten minutes. Trying to come up with something more gripping than “what’s up friends?” – but here we are. Just a poorly caffeinated dude (way below my usual levels, but I’m working on it), wanting to hang out. With ya’ll! The fellow occupants of the sovereign state known as Space-ship Omega!

When we all shut it down, thank the Maker we’ve crossed the darkest days of the year, and now (if we’re fortunate enough) we get to engage in sweet, sweet consumption. Consuming products. Consuming massive amounts of calories. And, Elder Ones willing, consuming some quality time with friends and family.

And! I hope ya’ll are some of the friends and family I get to spend time with this week! Here at the Christmas Week Commute!

Let’s shoot the fucking shit. Tell me what you’re going to be doing, this holiday week. Going to the movies? Ripping open gifts? Eating so much lasagna that your farts melt time and space?

I want to know!
