Unfortunately, you still need to read Chris’ comments, rather than having them read to you … fortunately, they’re just a click away.

this cartoon looks NOTHING like Sarge, aside from the ears and the green skin

Sarge’s comments on porting FaceFighter to Android made news with The Appside, PocketGamer, Gaming Bus (complete with uninformed speculation!) and Develop, with Sarge’s statistics about the piracy rate on FaceFighter for Android versus our iOS version stealing the headline.

Sarge was quoted a second time in the closing session for his remarks about middleware.

Read up! It’s almost like being at the show with Sarge, except he isn’t able to put you in a bear hug and make you fear for your life.
