Spooooky Halloween Update!

We're clearly too busy to update our site these days.  When we're not off stomping office cockroaches, playing the greatest PS2 game of all time, or sucking down undercooked dim sum, we're nurturing our completely unhealthy fixation on how Power of Two Games is going to rock your god damn face with a truly awesome game.

"You guys shouldn't work so hard!", you say.  "Slow down or your game will be just too beautiful for this world!", you plead.  Well, we heard you when you said this, and we laughed long and hard at your impending ruin.  Noel laughed so hard that his jaw locked up.  In hindsight, that might have been the onset of trichinosis.  Either way, I don't cook the dim sum anymore.  I wonder if that had anything to do with liking God Hand as much as I did?  Maybe all that raw pork gave us the brain worms.

Ultimately we did listen to you, Gentle Reader.  We did slow down.  We took a break and let our subconscious guide our hands in the spookiest and Halloweeniest of all creative exercises:  The Great Halloween Pumpkin Carving.  I ate about 1/3 of a Seaside Market sugar-bomb pecan pie and sat in front of my pumpkin, with pen and knife in hand.  As the sugar took control of my primitive reptile brain, I transcended all awareness of myself and my surroundings.  My eyes lost focus and I was transported through magical and secret places that I will not speak of here.  I ended in darkness, where the true nature of existence was revealed to me, its myriad layers peeled away like an onion, exposing pure ultimate truth at the core.

Satori, Gentle Reader.  Satori.

"What did you see?!  For the love of all things holy, TELL US!  MY LIFE MEANS NOTHING!", you say.

I have travelled through the darkness, and for it I will be haunted for the rest of my days.  When I awoke, I carved.  I carved hard, as never before, a desperate attempt to crudely capture what I had beheld:

Sometimes we think maybe... maybe we shouldn't work so hard.  Maybe we should slow it down a bit.  Maybe we shouldn't eat raw pork and pecan pie.  Then we remember that we're doing it to get filthy rich for all for you gamers and indies out there, and we get back to work.

Happy Halloween!
