Haiku

Winter gloom descends,
Holiday cheer swells an inbox:
Thanks Elizabeth.

two quick ones off the top of my head

Tiny storage means
Better games for all to play
Makes me say thank you

I heart Left 4 Dead
The Witch can really freak out
She will fuck you up

#1:
The games play nicely
Violent sounds taking off
My friends heads get shot

#2:
Secret iPhone ring
Gaming desire is known
Quality not found

I emailed #1, but hey, here's another. Sorry about the syllable count if I blew it, but I think it's close. You never said it had to be a _good_ haiku. :)

Posting for Dynotaku:

Elizabeth intro's
Mark gives congratulations
and Remo says thanks

Mark plays Left 4 Dead
He sets it to regular
It is too easy

The smoker, he coughs
The boomer, acid reflux
The hunter, pounces

Mark and Chris always
interrupt, Elizabeth
plots both of their deaths

Oh Diablo 3
I want to play the wizard
Please don't streamline it

Source looks really good
and it runs on my machine
it's not a slideshow

Remo has no mic
What? How does that even work?
He's a musician.

Posting for Pyide -- "The worst haiku you will ever read":

podcasts about games
talk about video games
Played is one of these

Posting for K. Katz -- "So, I suck at these.... here goes":


I don't like haiku,
Counting syllables is dumb....
Must start over now.


Cheers!

Silently he kills
With a stare, wordless commands
Damn Gordon Freeman

Posting for Seth Brunette:

For the podcast as a whole...

Humor mixes with
A small touch of the profane
In the name of games


and for the individual contributors...


Re: mo

Criticism said,
With developer name-drops
He delights us all


Re: Elizabeth

Raining down chochky
Bioshockingly comments
In defense of Ayn


Re: Mark

What else can I say?
This man is the glue which binds
The podcast must flow
