Alpha Protocol Michael Thorton Twitter Feed Launched

While I still shake my head at this whole Twitter craze, I thought it was worth pointing out that Obsidian Entertainment has launched a new feed with updates coming from Alpha Protocol’s protagonist, Michael Thorton. Or some developer pretending to be him, anyway.
