A fine Revenge of the Fifth to you all.

So are the veeps in charge yet at large at THQ Nordic yet?
Nope, which is why I won't be buying Saints Row The Third this week. It's a shame, I'd really love to support what should have been the GB GotY for 2011, but not until all of the executives who don't know how to use Google get sacked.
What does that open the door for, then?
Shakedown Hawaii is finally out, and given how beloved vBlank's prior game is on this here website it's on my radar. There's a bit of buzz from some of the pub regulars about Masquerada and For The King, and Meow Motors is probably the best animal-based racing game coming out this month. Unfortunately, we have a Kemco Alert (tm) and Europe has a double THQ Nordic alert, plus we have a content warning for a Lovecraft-based game.
Japan still recovering from the dawn of a new era?
Yes, although a high number of shadowdrops this week wouldn't surprise me, both there and for the rest of us.
