This is my verification. I'm really Gabe and I am really doing an AMA.

I'll be doing an AMA over on Reddit today (the 30th) at 1:30 PM PST. Please come and Ask Me Anything!

I don't know if any of them were featured on Vinepeek, but Gabriel distilled and presented a sequence of these "vines" to catalogue the creation of the strip - a strip which you can see here. I don't really see myself as a... vintner, or whatever, I don't think I'm going to be broadcasting my life six seconds at a time. But I am absolutely a fan of Vinepeek, which is like a wondrous nickelodeon full of tiny players.

Bans are a public relations coup; the more public they are, the more efficacious. People love to see the hammer come down. Unless you look up and see it yourself, o'erhead, you feel safer knowing that the placid, featureless face of this hammer is elsewhere, even for a moment. It is happening all the time, but it's become a source of headlines now for a glutted news edifice, so we "know." That's how we found out about three especially high-profile bans, considered how a just society should corral them, and then made comic about it sort of but not really.

PAX East isn't for a little while yet, but it seemed like some early exposure probably couldn't hurt: here are the select... -ees. The ones we selected! That's what I mean.

Because it's rated M and there's an age gate, we were able to go much farther than we usually can with our project for God of War: Ascension. Lookie, lookie!

I’m playing so many games right now it’s ridiculous. Let me break it down for you:

"New Art" is Gabriel's primary reward structure in games. If that's true - and it is, I just told you - then Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch must surely be the apex of the form.

You grabbed the new Dead Space demo, right? It doesn't cost anything, and you should. Did you?

I sat down to watch King of the Nerds last week fully intending to hate it. In fact the only reason I watched it was because I figured we could get a good comic out of how horrible it was. Boy was I surprised when I actually liked it.

I went over to Arcane Comics for my six month "check-up," filling out trade paperbacks for ongoing lines and interrogating the proprietor as to what I should be reading. He's never steered me wrong yet - Gotham Central, Saga, and Locke & Key have provided me with stalwart, much-needed company lately. I read too fast, and I don't see art, so (as I've discussed) comics aren't usually a good investment. These books have kept going in my head, though - long after I've read them. Easy recommendations, all.

If you would like to be part of that august body, helping to sustain the best show of its kind in the world and meeting a ton of cool people, the information is here.

I would like football or, indeed, any sport, much better if each town did battle with other towns via spirit animals like immortal hawks and great bears. Like, if we made them battle with one another in arenas, and if they got hungry for soul essence or whatever they would just swipe at the gathered throng with a spectral paw. But I feel like this latest season (of the actual game) might represent a turning point.

Hey, do you have a second to fill one of these out? It would really help us a lot.
