Yesterday on Massively: December 17, 2007
What a busy day yesterday! Of course, one can count any day successful in which you get to discuss exploding sheep. Well, okay, it was a small-scale explosion (implosion?) at Electric Sheep, but you can't blame us for trying. "Exploding sheep" is just fun to say. Baa! Don't forget; if a game has more than two stories on it, it lands in its own category, so be sure to check the stories after the jump!
