About 38 Studios buying Big Huge Games and my lamenting Brian Reynolds having to work for a repug douchebag... Well, I guess he was not too happy about it either :D

Of course, where he is going seems odd... Zynga? Never heard of them, looks like they do "Social Games"... WTF? "Texas Hold’Em Poker, Mafia Wars, YoVille, Vampires, Street Racing, Scramble and Word Twist" What is this crap? I would have much rather he went back to Firaxis but... I'll keep an eye out to see what they put out.

oh... and I guess I'll have to scratch that un-named RPG from Big Huge Games off my most anticipated list, the lead designer leaving mid way through development is probably not good for it :(
