Hamza is, shall we say, indisposed at the moment — so I’m filling in for him, because, y’know, us brown folk have to stick together. I can’t wait for PAX, where I’m finally going to meet him (and many of you as well!).
Speaking of PAX, the official schedule for the three-day expo is now up; it includes the Destructoid panel, which is set for 4 PM on Saturday, August 30th. Be there! In addition, a new Batman game was revealed (and I did some crazy math); Variety’s Ben Fritz called Mirror’s Edge “gimmicky”; our Devil May Cry 4 contest winner was announced; Sam’s Club offered to print updated Madden NFL 09 covers for free, along with selling the game at a discount; and tons of other stuff happened on Tuesday.
