Poor old Bloodshot Joe
Always watching gaming news
Really needs Visene

Mark and Tom (and Dave)
Watch out for falling web sites
They leave big craters

Looking for good games
Like parking downtown at night
Not very easy

Quarter to Three site
Reporting on industry
Without pop-up ads

Making up Haikus
Milking tired brainy cells
Damn, ER is on

Heh. If you like haiku, check out some Quake haiku. A sample:

Today I own you
Tomorrow I will be ruled
The bloody wheel turns

Whoa. That's heavy.

I thought haiku was supposed to mention nature somehow:

LAN party runs on
"Excellent." booms the God voice
Dawn comes unwelcome

Hostage craved pasta
My M4 ends his terror
Chickens peck nearby

Wow. And they said this was "just another gaming site." Now that's culture, baby!! How many game sites have haiku of this caliber? How many game sites even know what haiku is?

Stay tuned for our sonnet sequence praising Sid Meier games. Sid won't actually be named, but will be referred to by scholars as the "Balding Mister."

"Shall I play thine game on a summer's day...."

Cockroach frolicks happily
His head will not explode
Microwave is ineffectual

Not to be anal
Haiku is plural word too
Thank you for your time

"I hate haikus"

Credibility?
Reasonable minds differ
Howls now unheard
