Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Michael Chabon is a serious literary dude who writes some seriously geeky stuff, like alternate history Jewish Noir fiction

and swashbuckling Fafhrd-and-the-Grey-Mouser-ish adventures about Jewish bandits.
Spoiler:

    Suggestions?

    If that woman's cleavedge made one more person pick the game up off the shelf, it was a net positive for microprose. And to be blunt, if taking her top off could have increased sales enough to get a sequel, I'd endorse it 100000% because I like playing great games.

    There's no living with a killing. There's no goin' back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand... a brand sticks. There's no goin' back. Now you run on home to your mother and tell her... tell her everything's alright. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.

    Is it weird that I'm bummed out that I didn't get an A in History? I mean, I got a B, and I came really close to an A, but I really wanted to finish this summer term with two As.

    Is that odd to you folks?

    Well no shit. With all those cocks jammed in your mouth it's got to be a detriment to rolling your rs.

    Short version: The UVF is shit-stirring.

    Slightly longer: Belfast is generally known by its compass directions (North Belfast, West Belfast etc). East Belfast is largely Protestant/Unionist/Loyalist, but there is a notable Catholic/Nationalist/Republican enclave near the River Lagan called the Short Strand. This has been where the rioting is going on. The Police reckon the UVF stirred up passions to try and put a stamp on their "turf".

    It's always been a flashpoint for sectarian tensions, but it still sucks that it's happening. UVF can eat a dick.
