Hello, extended Labor Day weekend!

I really enjoyed that Team Fortress 2 trailer quite a bit. Maybe even more than Episode 2 itself.

Today's question:

Do you think TeamFortress 2 (and Portal) will outshine Episode 2?

Digging your own stories is the worst form of mental masterbation ever. Stop doing it, thanks. If I wanted to see you jerk off, I'd watch IRL. For the 99% of people who have no idea what I'm talking about, nevermind! The other 1%, you are on notice. The whole Digg thing loses its magic when it becomes rigged.

Today's question:

Who is your favorite developer at the moment?
