1. You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise, Guest. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Guest. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, Guest? Why are you not helping?

    Rumors are, they are making Mass Effect: New Citadel for EA. A gay romance-centered extreme next-gen cinematic slam dunk RPS.

    But seriously, that's good news.

    Well, they have their own guys too.

    But either way. They are clear with 1 game going (DSIII) in the bug departement. We'll see if they continue.

    Ok, Chris Avellone, Tim Cain, J.E. Sawyer need to get into a room and throw some ideas together. Those three are geniuses. This is great news.

    Nice, as long as they keep him away from the design of any hypothetical kickstarter project. His fetish for single character turn based combat is even greater than his fetish for fat, hairy men and well, that's a game-killer.

    I await an absolutely glorious South Park RPG that will redefine the genre and be hailed as one of the greatest games of all time by the codex.
