A Moment on Penny Arcade

"OnLive is pretty much the belle of the ball at GDC thus far, and its promise of rapture must be pure exhilaration to anyone who has never worked IT. I wouldn't describe it as a fight, per se - the knives remained sheathed - but I would say that Gabriel and I entered into what you might call a scale model of a fight. There was fury, but it was a very compact fury."

This is the sort of thing that makes Tycho interesting to read. He's not exactly Poet Laureate material, but his prose has a certain level of low-vocab intricacy that makes him enjoyable. He indulges in a priggish nerdiness that I only attain by accident.
