Wait. Wait, wait. The next Mission Impossible film has Simon Pegg acting, Brad Bird directing, and JJ Abram producing? YES PLEASE!
I have to say, while it took a little while to adjust to my Razer Naga, I can’t play MMOs without it now. Really weird playing at lunch. :)
Most of @alliebrosh’s latest post at Hyperbole and a Half is a pretty accurate depiction of what self loathing is like. http://t.co/b6xXsdAo
This level of rampant futurism makes me a little weepy it’s so delicious. http://t.co/tAglMErL Mostly because I’ll never see it. :)

RT @neiltyson: You can play baseball on the airless Moon, but only if you find a way not to suffocate & if you don’t care about curve balls
Okay. Yeah. I’ll come back for that Blizz. Well played. Well played. http://t.co/16Hgv2oN #pandaria #wow

I kinda love Borderlands. Fantastic run and gun to get me reacquainted with console fpsery.

I can point to one clear improvement in 2011 vs the horrible past: doing an OS reinstall is a freaking snap. Less than 2 hrs turnaround.

I have had a pretty good day Twitter. Today wasn’t bad at all, Facebook. Just thought I’d let you know.
Mass Effect 3 multiplayer looks kind of awesome. http://t.co/Udnh5swa Definitely going to get into this.
Ahhh, there’s the bile. Hate-inducing experience in LoL tonight made me never want to play it again. Back to console games for a few days.
The international appeal of a bowl of chicken and rice must trigger some sort of deep-level brain process. Further research is warranted.
Anyone doing anything fun this weekend?
It’s fascinating. The longer I work in the games industry the more varying opinions on what “games” are I hear. Surprising in a good way.
I finished #Gears3 last night co-op and it was okay. Mostly-satisfying final boss. Still lots of unanswered questions. Gears 4? Okay.
This! Get on it, @kasavin. :) RT @JustinMcElroy: Is there a new Bastion game out yet or WHAT?
Oh hey! You’re very welcome Ezio! No problem, Kratos. Nice working with you Little Sister. Snake? I still hate you. http://j.mp/pgCNNI
I’m sure that Apple putting a semi-autonomous knowbot in everyone’s pocket won’t have negative repercussions. :D #siriisskynet
Morning: Accomplishments! Apartment stuff, cleaning, etc. Afternoon: Binging on Big Bang Theory! Night: League of Legends?
Man I’m so glad @IGDA is standing up against the really important things, like the depredations of @JustinMcElroy. Thanks guys! [satire!!!!]

I miss Wisconsin. :) RT @UWMadisonCALS: Reminder: Bucky’s Butchery is open until 3 p.m. today. They’ve got steak! http://t.co/pm9KiJ3c
Attention: #LoL’s Wukong the Monkey King is officially Monkey King of my heart. That is all.
Man, as much as I like #Battlefield I’m kind of terrible at it. :P
Holy cats. The more I heard about #kingdomsofamalur the more pumped I get. http://t.co/PeSfZc9b

Awake late into the night bridging my 30th and 31st year, reading #REAMDE and enjoying the Maryland air. Not a bad start, 31. Not bad.
I’m not classy like @Greenspeak. This GameSpy #Diablo3 article is terrible writing, and an awful premise: http://t.co/h5cfSn51
I just want to be honest with you guys. No joke: I want to be like @Greenspeak when I grow up. Jeff, you’re a good guy.
I feel like a unique snowflake today: The only person, apparently, to like what Ms. Traviss has done with the story of #Gears3. #haters
When I say “Veritech Fighter” or “Robotech”, does it make you happy? Have some art: http://t.co/jPXRzZfM (scroll down)
Ohhhh crap. Neal Stephenson’s new book can best be described as a Cryptonomicon-esque tale with MMO underpinnings. I’ll be in my bunk.
I am enjoying the online implementation of the Pokemon TCG far more than I probably should. #mypokemansletmeshowyouthem
Yeah, finished. Rio was not very good. Blech. Pro tip for you there. I’ve gotten way more enjoyment out of the Angry Birds: Rio edition.
Had dinner with the incomparable @chrisgrant this evening. Had a great time and he was a perfect gentleman.
Puppy bedtime adorable mode go! http://t.co/UU9PWhx

Played a little Dragon’s Nest from @nexon today, and once again impressed by that company’s ability to deliver a quality online game. Nice.
