    If you're one who used to get sick from the head-bobbing motion on screen, watch out! Now your stomach bile will churn over the crappy monster and level designs that id software has lovingly excreted for you.

    Sorry, it isn't. did you go to E3? I did. I do every year, and I just happen to run the Texas Gaming Festival. And oh, my brother just happens to write for Voodooextreme. So yeah, I probably don't know what I'm talking about. I mean come on, living in Austin, there are no game developers here on anything. You are on fire!

    Yeah, the gaming scene in Minnesota is gigantic. I'm sure Red McCombs is the leader. I'll stick to the secrets inside UT coeds dorm rooms.

    Oh COME ON! It's a deliberate joke name, picked purely to generate publicity! And seriously, if your chain is called "Gaylord", would you EVER pick "Palms" as the name of your hotel? Of course you wouldn't!

    And if you did, and if you had a recruitment hotline ...

    I swear I'm not making this up! Check the links if you don't believe me!

    "Ow, ow !" indeed.

    (But, as parent correctly predicts - I've never stayed at a Gaylord, or even "been in a Gaylord" for that matter. I did seriously consider staying one night so I could steal some bathrobes for some of my gaylord friends, though ...)
