Andrew: surprised it took this long
Andrew: you must be slipping
me: mayhaps
me: anyway, I'm going to concentrate on video game journalism after this
Andrew: good idea
Andrew: any video games you have pending on your enemies list?
me: well
me: Tropico 3 is about to come out
me: but I can't run it
me: so that certainly angers me
Andrew: yeah, video game journalism is tough without a proper set of video game playing devices
Andrew: you could write a dwarf fortress article
me: indeed
Andrew: or a morrowind + mods article
me: yeah, I'll do that first
Andrew: rockpapershotgun did both of those already unfortunately

Andrew: there is an 'early' alpha out
me: ah
Andrew: it is not feature compelte at all
me: I'll check it out anyway
Andrew: yeah, you should

Andrew: but it sounds worth it to me
Andrew: ill get it if you do

Andrew: we can go collect energy together
Andrew: or whatever the fuck you do in that game
me: sounds heterosexual
Andrew: yeah, there's a minigame called "logjamming"
