Use Twitter? You just might! You may, if youāre one of the clever ones, be following sites like this, or people like this
Those two are OK, I guess, but theyāre far from my favourite. Especially when it comes to video games. Instead, that honour is shared between two accounts. Two very different accounts.
I like them both because they epitomise the very best of what the service has to offer, at least to me: serving as a worldwide soapbox for jokes and information. I donāt give a stuff what someone had for lunch, or why youāre joining millions of other people making the same jokes about E3/the NBA/Mad Men. I do, however, like this stuff.
The first belongs to Al Swearengen of the Gem Saloon, who after hanging up his chamberpot and shot glasses has got himself a job as a creative director in the video game business. His daily exploits areā¦frustrating.
The second is idās John Carmack, who at first glance makes it look like his Twitter account is being run by a machine. Until you realise itās actually being written by Carmack, and that instead of filling the service with what he hopes will make other people think heās cool, he just opens his head and dumps whatever heās actually thinking about. Which is mostly completely random code or tech talk.
