Michael and Michael are sitting in the scary room of windows (see here on the Kyte Scream!) while recording this special Halloween edition of Dogear-Nation. After a scary look at some new takes on games - Thumb Wars and Mercenaries 2, we get into the Army’s fear of Twitter and other social networking tools. Sometimes change is scary, even when it allows your to interact with your customers, employees, and business partners. Thank you to everyone out there, who have been able to keep the tags going. We also thank all our Swag purchasers.
