Old pirates vs. modern pirates? Sounds like a great game, to me. [quote]Ex-EGM editor and current Games Producer for Adult Swim Chris Johnston[/quote] No way! I loved that guy, one of my favorite writers. Oh and PixelJunk Shooter? Are you kidding? They had a contest and [i]that's[/i] what they chose? For the record, I submitted PixelJunk Nethermod.

Now that I'm thinking of it, didn't Chris Johnston also write for OPM?

I love me some Game Twits. Today's reminded me of why I had to stop following Major Nelson. I finally cracked after one of his code giveaways resulted in 10 or 15 posts in a 10 minute period.

When I read Major Nelson's twitter it helps if I imagine that he's a real life anime girl in a space dress rather than a 4X year old man.
