For selfish reasons I'm glad (I have a trial in June and I'll be completely busy for two full weeks).
I think that's just the dude's name...

Everyone better fucking buy Darksiders 2 to save THQ. (Hey it rhymes)

Lollipop Chainsaw. A game coming out in June for the Xbox 360 and PS3! With Darksiders pushed back, it might get a little more breathing room, so that's goo-
Oh wait, I'm not allowed to like PS3/360 games, because I'm hardcore Nintendo Defense Force member.
I forgot, forgive me.
Whoops, yep you're right, community manager for THQ. That confused the shit out of me for a minute.

They need more time for marketing to make sure it sells over 6000 copies.

Well, the first one sold something like 300,000 copies the last time I heard. And it had even LESS marketing that Darksiders II already has enjoyed.

They should not rush things with this one but take their time in order to launch the best game possible, and a couple months' delay is not such a big deal, considering they could have gone out of business already by now.

Oh, well since you apparently need a detailed explanation of what I meant:
yes, I know what the game is. I simply can hardly see it an exciting way to compensate for Darksiders II's delay.
In fact I can hardly see any reason to be interested in it at all, but that's just me, I guess.

ouch...
She's much too thin, if she ate a few delicious Ginsters Pasties she'd have lovely hips. As the saying goes "hips for grips when docking pink ships".

Bah, was hoping this might be because of a Summer Wii-U launch but they addressed Wii-U in the Q&A (see OP)...
that said, I approve of this generally. Great school of thought: it's done when it's done. Release it when it's perfect!

I'm ok with this. I need some time to finish my backlog.

In other news Darksiders 2's delay rose THQ's stock by 16 cents. Yay?

Are they still having that bullshit Gamestop preorder exclusive that adds a bunch of new areas and sidequests to the game?

Yep. Welcome to video games.

It's OK! Would go to the backlog either way! But now it will probably land right around WoW: Pandaland! Backlog it is again!

God I hope so, this guy deserves it for making me miss all the E3 festivities and a family vacation on top of everything else...

Oh well, Darksider's loss...
Is Suda's gain!
Is Lollipop Chainsaw a game anymore or just a costume for this chick to parade in?

What else is coming out in August? I could see it doing well like Deus Ex did last year.

Are you a magistrate / lawyer or are you a juror?
I love the idea of you consulting with other jurors on a verdict and being like "Fuck this guy! He made me miss E3! GUILTY!"

She was hired by the publisher to be the "official" model for the game. So I dunno, seems alot like those Lara Croft models Eidos always had.

Ugh. 
This was going to make a great birthday present. It was July 2nd. Well this just sucks ass.

I don't see any of those coming out over the other.

I don't remember the Lara Croft models becoming more relevant then the actual game.
There's Kingdom Hearts for 3DS and uhh...uh. Oh right, I forgot that it's totally insane to put out a game during the Summer.
Early on they were.

Because someone posted a pic of her on a message board? I don't get it.
Dude, there's lot of gameplay videos and trailers out there. Alot of them focusing on the musical, writing, and voice acting talents, none of them showing any shots of the model. These were all put out by Warner Brothers. If you see tons of shots of this chick on Kotaku or Desctructoid, that's probably because Kotaku and Destructoid want clicks, so they put a thumbnail of the girl.
Soo....I don't know where you're getting this make-believe scenario from.
August is a pretty bad launch month. Delaying it until October would be better, especially as it would gain attention with the Wii U launch.

I did the computer forensics for the case so I'll be testifying. I can still catch up on the big news at night at least.

They should release it anyway, keep working on it, and release a big patch or something.
