I knew it wasn't original,
I knew it wasn't original, but we were definitely in a pinch. No issue with the cover of Woot!. That should at least have an actual cover budget.

I think it's just funny
I think it's just funny because I thought at the time that it was totally original. :) D'oh!
Look at all these books with invaders on them:

Holy cow....
What should we put on the cover of Woot?
SI

Holy cow, did anyone NOT put a space invader on the cover? :)
Yeah, it probably wasn't the best choice to use such iconic imagery since it seems every other book uses it, but at least it looks good...

Great review on Gamer's Intuition. Congrats guys.

What's going on???
First of all, the "Gamer's Intuition" review was excellent. I wish I had written it! Hopefully, this will be a sign of things to come.
Second of all, I am surprised at the lack of reviews for VG on Amazon. I wrote my review a couple of months ago, but it still stands at five reviews! What's going on? Certainly more than five people can come forward and comment. VG deserves better than that. I regret my long review with some criticisms now. Surely more than five people bought the book!
P.S. I did register on Slashdot just to click on the "plus" sign on the VG review.
