Play-By-Play Commentary

Closing In, with Quotes

First, to address some reader mail concerning the question in my last post:

"I would vote not to penalize him, as his entry is awesome." - Andrew B.

"the details are worth waiting for. not to be too picky, but do the Pwnasaurs have one arm coming out of their asses?" - Kevin K.

"I want to believe that the pile of skulls is a Yorick reference, in which case, all that time is just fine. If not? Then those coloured, slightly anthropomorphised robo-dinos are just silly." - B. Amerika

My vote, for perhaps the first time in my life, is with someone who spells America with a "k," though I don't think whether or not Hutch knew Yorick, Horatio, forces the decision. Look how much Kox did with ten minutes!

The vote is swinging in my mind. It is swinging like a pendulum between two points, and is right now somewhere in the middle, magnetically drawn to Kox's voiceovers and efficiency, but also still drawn to a good poop joke.

My kingdom for a poop joke! Go Obama!
