Hey OP can I contribute in spare time? I contributed stories to EvilAvatar.com back in the day. Or are you just putting up editorials?

It's just going to be editorial content as original writing, but if we need more staff I'll letcha know.

Hell yes. Something is amiss when all signs point to the cult of Kaz & Cerny going completely unanswered

Quote from: UK Resistance's penultimate post
We cannot sit idly by and watch the greatest PR disaster of our time unfold without passing comment. We have therefore acquired SPECIAL DISPENSATION for a one-off commemorative update celebrating Sony’s latest global crisis. Obviously we are not savages. We feel a small pang of pity for those 77 million PlayStation Network users about to find their credit card and password details up on The Pirate Bay in a convenient multi-part RAR file… but that small, annoying pang of humanity is easily eclipsed by the MASSIVE FEELINGS OF JOY that come from seeing Sony’s already damaged reputation SPREAD TO THE FOUR WINDS across ALL MEDIA OUTLETS. Even the ones for women.

I figure that relaunching in 2013 without an exploitative Kickstarter can reset the karmic balance

actually I think you're leaving karmic money on the table.

solution: retroactively kickstart, and I will complete the gauntlet for a cut of the moneys. that or I'll farm it out, w/e

civ v piece was glorious

tom chick lost :aah

Tom's irrational hatred of Civ 5 is pretty funny, although his trolling of the Civ 5 thread at QT3 can get dull

Glad everyone liked the Civ V piece. I know I can do better in the future though. This is the first time doing any kind of non work related writing for me in a VERY long time.

Tom Chick has an extremely difficult time challenging his own opinions once they are formed. Sometimes-the more often the better, really-it's good to honestly ask yourself if what you have come to believe about something is actually complete bullshit.

I like Tom on three moves ahead, mostly because he is a nice counter weight to whomever he is talking to, making them explain or refute things in more detail and such.

Normally, I don't take credit for my character destruction work, but that guy was a prissy little know it all. Hopefully he's learned his lesson.
