Morning Discussion

by Alice O'Connor, May 05, 2009 7:00am PDT

With Plants vs. Zombies not unlocking on Steam for another four hours, I suppose we might as well do some video games in the meantime. Today at Shacknews I shall discover whether it's worse to babysit someone or to cover for them.

I suspect covering is worse. Sure, babysitting means I have to wipe their snotty noses and remind them to eat lunch, but when a new Katamari Damacy trailer arrives and glee fills their ruddy jam-smeared ruddy faces, oh it warms the cockles of my heart.

    This is nothing more than a gut hunch, but I think it'll be one of the big games they focus on.
