Fans of the previous installment knock the game for not being as deep, but some of those rebels may be silenced by the upcoming Gods and Kings expansion on June 19.

Unlike other Hallmark holidays like Valentine's Day or Talk Like A Pirate Day, we only received one celebratory card this year. The greeting came from Owlchemy Labs, developers of the upcoming Jack Lumber.

There's likely some irony cut in the salutation, since the game is about chopping down trees instead of planting them, but bonus points still go to the greeting card for being an e-card instead of an actual, tree-murdering flap of paper.

However, there are moments where the strict progression of cause and effect do occur. We can trace one such occurrence to the year 2012, when The Doctor played a video game called Fez. He took it to (one of his) heart(s) -- even if some of his companions didn't -- and declared, "Fezzes are cool."

Our only official bit of business will be doing a Joystiq Show live on Saturday, April 7, at 3PM. We aren't exactly sure what the format of the show will be, but the whole crew shall attend and it'd be great if you can be there to watch us make sillies of ourselves. Of course, beyond the show, we'll be around Boston, getting into as much trouble as legally permitted.

Next week we're attending the 2012 Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco. Sure, there will be plenty of talk about reticulating splines and influx integration of HTML5 across the Unreal Engine codex, but there should also be a fair amount of game reveals. We'll also be talking to some interesting folks and podcastinating them.

Earlier this week, it was announced that Aliens: Colonial Marines would be delayed until autumn.

Some may watch the show for the drama, but we hope you watch it like a sporting event. See, you've played enough zombie games by this point that you know how it works when the zombie apocalypse hits. Go ahead, yell at those little league survivalists on TV, you know better!
