As the adage instructs, we are usually inclined to save drama for our mamas. But sometimes it's just too much fun to pass it up. Such is the case with a vitriolic exchange between marvelously coiffed game dev John Romero and GameCock CEO Mike Wilson. Let's get straight to the aforementioned drama, shall we?

So, Romero was blogging, and he was all like "Once again, just like with Godgames, Wilson is taking all the credit away from the indie devs and pasting his asinine logo everywhere" and Mike Wilson was totally like "I will also not allow you to rewrite the history of it all, more to your liking and to my public detriment, and I will in no way take the rap for what you did (or didn't do)with your dream company."

And we were all like "Have either of you guys made any games since the Clinton administration?"

Though we're trying to seem cynically aloof and above all the squabbles, we do have to give the 2008 Burn of the Year award to Mike Wilson for "Your unparalleled work ethic and strong character has (just in the time I've known you) left only a bloody trail of ex-wives, fatherless kids, and ill advised breast implants strewn across this fair nation." Wow. Romero may have taken the first swing but Wilson responded with the Enola Gay. Metaphorically speaking, John Romero has just been shoved into a wood chipper.
