THQ Gamer's Day: I don't like embargoes or United Airlines photo

By now, you may have already read my impressions of Saints Row 2, or my verbal orgasm over Volition's other title, Red Faction: Guerilla. At last night's THQ Gamer's Day that took place in San Francisco's Terra event space, I had a chance to go hands on with these games and more.

But here's the thing -- all of the information was embargoed until today at 5 pm PST, the exact time that the Internet goes home for the weekend. Couple that with the fact that United Airlines delayed my flight out of San Francisco, I missed my connecting flight, and spent most of the day fighting crowds ... what do you people want from me? I was on a plane when this embargo was lifted. Sheesh.

So coming this Monday, I'll be posting screens and info on all (or most) of the games THQ were showing ... and there were a lot. I'm talking games like Baja, de Blob, Deadly Creatures, Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furon, Darksiders, and Battle of the Bands. In short, THQ's line-up was looking pretty good, and I'm not just saying that because they were serving the fanciest, most killer tasting macaroni and cheese I've ever tasted.

Now, I go to sleep.

what was the ratio of macaroni to cheese? This is very important so i would like it to the 5 decimal point.

While I'm led to believe according to this site and many others that THQ is responsible for plenty of games, to me they don't exist. For all I know they make Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War. That's it. I don't know where you get this whole Smackdown or Saints Row stuff. All they make is DoW and DoW is all they make.

Nice. I've heard a little bit about Darksiders and it sounds like it'll be pretty epic.

Despite this delay, I love you anyway. Especially since I'm so late on this post the wait is nearly irrelevant.
