Poetic interlude or excuse because I have nothing to write about?  You decide!<\/p>\n

\n

The ESRB
gave our game an M rating.
Let\u2019s take out the blood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Why are the save points
so far apart?  I just want
to go to bed soon.<\/p>\n

\n

Is there anything
as heartbreaking as when your
bug comes back fix failed?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Why did you shoot me?
We\u2019re on the same team!  Oh, I
see.  You\u2019re just a jerk.<\/p>\n

\n

While running back, I
see you and am glad you chose
to be a medic.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I think we should put
that feature in.  It will raise
our Metacritic.<\/p>\n

\n

Through several weeks of
scientific research, I\u2019ve
found I do need sleep.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The secret to life:
Up up down down left right left
oh, you know the rest.<\/p>\n

\n

The futility,
the unfairness of it all:
a spiky blue shell.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What do you mean, you
haven\u2019t played Portal yet?  Stop
reading, go play now.<\/p>\n

\n

That giant zombie
just vomited on me.  I
can\u2019t see.  Now I\u2019m dead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Did you really think
we could get through this instance
without a tank?  Fool.<\/p>\n

And a William Carlos Williams bonus!<\/p>\n

\n

This is Just to Say
<\/strong>I have played
the savegame
that you left on
when you went to the bathroom<\/p>\n

and which
you had been probably
playing
for the past few months<\/p>\n

Forgive me
it was fun
so exciting
until I died<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As you can see, I\u2019ve also been kind of obsessed with \u201cblockquotes\u201d in these last couple posts.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
