It's been slim gaming-related pickins in the twitterverse lately, seems like everyone is in a blind rage at the change to how @replies work (I think it's actually for the better), chronicling the trek to Game Developers Conference Canada in laborious detail, or giving it the "OMG Lost!"

Microsoft Games Studios' Ryan Payton, creative director on an upcoming Halo project, prepares to hunt heads in Canada.


If G4 host and number 96 on Maxim's Hot 100 Olivia Munn offers you a ride, take a cab.


Self-appointed major Major Nelson, the PR face of Xbox Live, lets the world know his broadcast day has ended. Is this acceptable behavior now? When you're done twitting for the day you make sure everyone's apprised of that fact via a tweet?


Taking it down a notch, game designer and professor Brenda Brathwaite, on her table top game Train, in which players load passengers onto a train car and race to the end destination, which turns out to be Auschwitz. Read more here, because the particulars of Train are way beyond the scope of this blog post.

Jeremy Parish of 1UP and Gamespite fame has more Wii friends than God.

OH HOLD UP he's back online! Unbelievable! And with shocking information about new virtual footwear!

The reason Twitter has such a low retention rate is that folks see the inane, self-centered Twitters fill up their screen (i.e. I am done Twittering for today). This of course if based on no research. But come on people, have something interesting to contribute if you insist on 'tweeting' every 5 minutes. Kenny Powers knows what's up.

Agreed. Though at one point I did fall into the "tweet my every move" category, now I barely update once a day. I do enjoy following gaming blogs, tech blogs, etc. As for Ryan Payton, recruiting for for an upcoming Halo title as creative director could only mean good things.. right? curious as to what genre the project falls into.

I'm trying to decide which of Major Nelson's tweets was more worthless. The one about unplugging or the next one where he cancelled his previous post, and presented an even more empty post about avatar footwear. I know it's part of his job, but do both of us a favor un-plug for a night.
