This was the first novel I thought of when I read the headline.

I was going to write a polite, concise post about how hiring does not typically happen in large groups, is not generally newsworthy and usually of little interest to all but the person being hired, but other people did it for me.

That being said, big or surprising hires ARE frequently in the news. For whatever reason…

"Updated my journal."
LOL. Classic.

THIS. Hell, I still have it installed and was playing it just the other day.

Ultima VII: The Black Gate

Planescape Torment (Seconded) (Thirded)

This. It has unified the two groups of friends. At least for me, anyway.

I got a chance to sit down with Monte back in March at Reaper Con and interview him for a two-part piece I wrote. Really great guy, we spent a long time talking about books and the interview went great, despite a bit of fanboy-ishness creeping in on my part. Watched him run a game, too.

It was Ultima VII that I fell in love with first, but IV, V and VI all are excellent. I'll just leave this here ... http://tjwebb.kinja.com/the-road-goes-…

Average, run-of-the-mill old man sounds amazing.

Screw this day. I'm going back to bed and hoping this was a shitty dream. R.I.P.

This. A thousand times this.

I've been a huge fan of Bioware for a long time. When this game came out, I gave it a pretty favorable review — based on a very limited amount of play time. But after hitting max level it rapidly became apparent that this game has serious flaws and most likely was rushed to retail before it was ready. I'm terribly…

Oh wait, I'm a journalist — I don't have any money. Designs are still awesome though!

These are excellent. Somebody hurry up and wrote them all so I can spend money on them.
