So we have a lot of smart people who work here. It’s sort of a prerequisite on top of being superbly witty and incredibly funny, combined with really really good looking and, of course, humble.

Great news! We’ve released Confrontation to a rabid audience of European fans and early non-credible sources on the internet suggest we’re debuting in the top ten games for the week. Not that we need the internet to tell us we’re cool or anything… but you know… it is nice to hear.
