    Hah, hah, hah. Good one, Gearbox. Don't you think you're taking the joke a little too far now, though? Just admit that the game doesn't exist, and that it never DID exist. If you can do that for me, I promise I'll try playing Borderlands again.

    I can't believe this is an actual post that I'm writing in 2011, and not just a hilarious prank that's being played on the River City Ransom fan community (...such that it is, anyway. Fun fact: Solitaire has more fanfiction on FanFiction.net than River City Ransom. Yes, that Solitaire.).

  • Minus the Pudding: The Best of Xbox Live Indie Games

    Some of you may be familiar with the Game Developers Conference—that's where developers from all around the world gather to build new friendships, share ideas with one another, swap war stories, and, in general, work together hand-in-hand to realize the full potential of videogames as an art medium. Hah-hah! I'm kidding of course; it's actually just another way for people to promote and sell videogames. It's like E3, only with more pretension; or, it's like PAX, only with a lot more pretension. It's not without its highlights, though, and one of the highlights of this year's conference was a panel on none other than Xbox Live Indie Games. (At least, I assume it was one of the highlights.
