...the engine tracks thousands of details for each unit meaning it will be a far deeper game than your grandpa's chess.
Pre-order CHESS now and receive the DLC "queen" unit.

I feel stupid for even posting this, but are they actual candid twitters or are front page writers making them for comic effect? Either way they are entertaining, but if they are real that's tragic...

I think most of them are due to autocorrect on smartphones. At least that's what I hope.

A lot of these are accidentally interesting turns of phrase. Went to the egg bog to find fluffy bog booty. Big ups to all my hatters.

Was laughing about the chessburger today and then I got to the third page. Pretty sure I was actually making the face at one point. I also had decided to catch up on the thread about the hoarder dude's kids getting taken so I'm pretty mad at the world right now.

No kidding, I never would have thought Twitter Tuesdays could be so funny and depressing in the same update. Poor babbys, all gettin' dropped.

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.

Holy hell, the loving baby tweets. D:

I started out assuming it was mostly poorly conveyed references to those health class baby dolls, and euphemisms for an older kid or significant other but it just kept going, way passed the point of any rational explanation.

The tweets from this week and last week, with these people talking about their kids, has been legitimately frightening. The coochieSTANK question almost made me fall over.

Okay I don't use the Twitter much and I need to check my understanding.

The first two pages of people tweeting "stop texting me"...is that literally from people who got a smart phone, signed it into twitter, then assumed every tweet they got from people they were following was a text message? Seriously?

because goddamn

e: oh god I searched for "remove my number"

You can go into your twitter account and give them your cell phone number, and they will send you actual text messages with tweets from the people you follow. You can also send your own tweets via text messages. The number they use for this is 40404.

Everyone who is complaining about this had to have given twitter their phone number, and specifically set their account to text tweets to it.

Thanks for the explanation. I don't have a smartphone or a personal twitter and I wasn't getting what was up with all the "stop texting me" tweets.

Now I do and I'm depressed.
