    That’s an awesome list, but it would’ve helped if you’d kept yourselves in the same order all the way down. Now I’m going to think psu is a wannabe French poseur who prefers Western RPGs.

    I’m with Julie. Stop flipping Peters. GAH.

    psu: Has to code in Objective C
    peterb: Oh, wait, they’re both in Hell

    Some of the entries just don’t read right unless the order flips.

    Also, I don’t really know who Peter Molyneaux is, and have never played any of his games.

    Oops, I guess psu sounded like a japanese anime girl’s nickname rather than initials. I guess the mental voice when I read _his_ posts will have to change.

    Doug,

    You should see him in his Sailor Moon outfit.

    I am never going to get that image out of my brain.

    “Hmmm, I wonder what Sailor Moon is…”… type type type. GAAAHHRRRGH. Splat.

    I directly blame both Peters for making me buy a Nintendo DS with Animal Crossing and Mario & Luigi rpg this afternoon.

    Ok, stop being such wankers.

    Now tell me where the heck in Pittsburgh can I find some good dim sum? I don’t want to drive to DC for this.
