A mistake on Esquire's site

DateSaturday, September 27, 2008 at 3:25PM

A video game review where I allegedly provide the "earnest" footnotes.

Unfortunately, I did not provide any such footnotes, and anybody who follows my stuff would instantly realize it.

I have complained to Esquire. I have no idea who the author (Peter Martin) is, but that simply did not happen.

What a coincidence! I'm a fan of your writing and your blog, I'm also a Senior Animator for Kaos studios and worked for two years on Frontlines:Fuel of War. As I was reading PNM I was wondering to myself what you would think of our game's fiction... A strange way to find ourselves in your radar.

Did this show up in print or is this just an online piece?

That is pretty funny. Bizarre, but funny.

WTF! Not funny, not bizarre.

I read the comments attributed to Tom. Flagrant foul. That review should be taken down, those responsible tarred and feathered. Okay, maybe not tarred and feathered, but, but, but....

That's just wrong. Very wrong.
