Evening Reading: My Friends Are Game Dev Story Obsessed

by Garnett Lee, Oct 18, 2010 5:00pm PDT

Well the games of fall are really pouring in now. Fallout: New Vegas this week, Fable 3 and Rock Band 3 next, and the Kinect launch and Black Ops right around the corner. Add in all the assorted others and it's easy to get completely inundated. Yet over the weekend it seemed like all I heard people talking about was Game Dev Story for the iPhone/iPod.

Here's what we've been talking about on the Shack today:

And a few random things to wrap up Monday with:

If you haven't yet, watch our very own Del Rio make his debut in Steph and Lance Go To Compton. Seriously, it's funny.
Why does it not surprise me Justin Bieber pitched a fit when he flunked his driver's license test
Part of that ridiculous sum of money Microsoft plans to spend marketing Kinect will be paying to get Kinect on 'Oprah' and 'Ellen'

    Yah, I was certainly rooting for him but he did just get out played. Hopefully we see him again though, a few minor adjustments (cough, save stim) and I think things could have turned out much differently.
