Rock, Paper, Shotgun, we can't stop thinking about you

When we were a young site, our mother — a stout search engine from Reno named Veronica — she'd sit us on her lap, wipe our tears, and promise us that the mean little boys in the server playground wouldn't be our tormentors forever. We'd blossom, she said and smoothed our hair, and meet a tall web site who would sweep us off our feet.

We don't get ahead of ourselves, but we met the cutest site last night. We talked about videogames for hours.

About Jetpack Brontosaurus, the latest game from the creators of Off-Road Velociraptor Safari, in which you pretend you're a giant dino flying through the crowds.

We were chatting philosphy next to the fire when he leaned over and whisper warmly, "Did you know they're making a sequel to Beyond Good & Evil?" We'll admit: we were having a few evil thoughts ourselves.

And he's so knowledgeable but so modest! When he told us that Nvidia was holding 62% of the graphics card market over ATi, he admitted having read the statistics in the Valve hardware survey.

He's not afraid to speak out against injustice, either, like the shocking number of Windows games that don't support Alt-Tab.

Got a good job, too. Said he impressed them when he put his World of Warcraft experience on his resume.

We may have something. Maybe it's too soon to say. But we're supposed to meet again next Friday.
