{marek: evan, don’t forget to write the blurb for this game like you said you would (3/20/04)}

{stinger: what do you mean, like i said i would? you said you were going to write it. i’m too busy. (3/21/04)}

{marek: what are you talking about? i never said i would write it. and why are we leaving placeholder messages in the article like this? (3/23/04)}

{stinger: it’s the easiest way to communicate, obviously. and wtf, you’re the one who told me this was a crappy game, i haven’t even heard of it. (3/24/04)}

{marek: wtf yourself, i just heard it was a crappy game and you said you couldn’t think of a last game to add to the list. just shut up and write it. (3/26/04)}

{stinger: fine. i’ll write it. i’ll get around to it eventually, in the midst of all the other work i have to do. (3/27/04)}

{marek: whine whine, stop feeling sorry for yourself. you don’t even do that much around here. just make sure you don’t publish this article with these placeholders still here, or i swear i’m actually going to fire you this time. (3/29/04)}

{doug: can’t we all just get along? (3/30/04)}

{marek: shut up. (3/31/04)}

{stinger: whatever. of course i’ll delete these before publishing. what kind of idiot do you take me for. (3/31/04)}
