I'm sorry but I feel I have to correct you on some things.
Firstly: A 'few features'? I think going from 6 major cities in an MMO to 2 major cities, and cutting major races out of a game is more than just a 'few features'. I see 'features' as maybe skills or side-quests or things of that sort, not entire cities.
Secondly: Blizzard doesn't announce games when they're good and ready, Blizzard announces their games when they are stable, and then works to polish and perfect without announced deadlines. SC2 was announced last year - I played it at Blizzcon (it's amazing), and the game wont be released untill 2009-ish. Diablo 3 was just announced, that probably wont see light of day until Q4 2009 or Q1 2010.
The difference between Blizzard and EA subsidiaries is that EA is the epitome of corporate bullshit. They want that yearly revenue to boost stocks, not to make quality games. That's why continually EA will purchase a company, set a deadline, and the devs will scramble to meet it by cutting corners - otherwise they're fucked.
This game had a lot of potential, but knowing EA has their grimy paws on it just makes me not want to play it. EA wants what Blizzard has, but they don't go about it the same way.
Blizzard makes quality games, they know the importance of keeping their 3 main titles the BEST 3 main titles on the market - WoW (MMO), SC2 (RTS), and D3 (RPG).
Sorry Warhammer, I'm just glad I didn't pre-order.
"Studies on eggs have show that they make no difference and infact a bit more exercise would help a world more than changing you diet."
Exactly. What people seem to overlook constantly is the inevitable GOOD effects of exercise on your body. Health, brain, and psyche all improve when you exercise regularly. We've only been sitting around for the last 50-70 years, and we've been running around hunting and foraging for millions.
Honestly nerds have the capability of being more healthy than jocks do in my opinion, because there are laws of nutrition that lots of people just cant get their head around. Good, healthy food + a bit of exercise = significantly fewer health problems
TT has issues a notice to their shareholders, you cand find it on their website under the 'corporate' tab.
I really hope EA never gets their hands on TT, you can kiss any further decent development from them goodbye...

2:25 minutes into the video he mentions he's patenting it, and he'll sell it over itunes.
Asshole. And why did this get slashdotted? It's cool, but it's not that cool.
Why is there a 'Delete Cyber Bullying' ad on the side of/.?
Nerds are the ultimate cyber bullies, I'd be more afraid of real-life people bullying than on the internet. What a bunch of tools.
"Not only is this an idiotic oversimplification, it also utterly fails to account for the spirit of the law as it is currently upheld; no childre are harmed by the viewing of said pornography. No crime has been committed by the mere sight of some moving pixels.
Keep your trashy right-wing "arguments" out of this discussion."
Oh yes, the ACLU - defender of freedoms, especially the freedoms for old perverted men.
Like NAMBLA.
Here in California, you have to worry about even the most trivial things - a thief was robbing one of my friends houses, was on the roof and fell threw the sky-light and onto a knife in the kitchen... then sued the family for his injuries.

So of course it's time to label Israel as baby-hating anti-civilian murderers.
Let's just completely ignore the fact that radical Islamists were firing indiscriminate missiles into Israel for the sole purpose of killing as many CIVILIANS as possible. Let's also ignore the fact that eeeevil Israel is the country that those people want to go to when they're injured, sick, etc. Israel supplies its surrounding enemy countries with food and medical supplies, and in turn they are ridiculed, hated, and attacked.
Your entire post was spoken like a true news junkie, it doesn't seem like you have a very open-minded idea of whats going on in the middle east.
I traveled to Israel, Lebanon, and Palestine last year and the trip changed my whole perspective on the situation. Israel is the only sane country in the middle east, the rest have been hijacked by radical Islamists, and it's an unfortunate fact of life that civilian casualties will never be 100% deterred.
And if you do actually know what your talking about, then you seem to be one of those stereotypical anti-zionists.
Most muslims know nothing of their own history, the religion has been hijacked in the middle east by radical islamists who have effectively brainwashed and reprogrammed their youth into Israel and America hating, anti-Semites and anti-Christians.
Islam has produces nothing in the last 600 years after the fall of their entire society, it's not the 'pro-science' 'peaceful' religion left-wing media portrays it to be. It's a religion of violence, conquering, and inhumane acts.
I sympathize for Maha Katouni and her unborn son, I wish it had never happened. But your Jack Thompson-style approach of making media out of tragedy is getting old.
Random info to avoid too much flaming: I'm agnostic, I've never been religious, but I've not only listened but witnessed what's going on in the middle east. I spoke with the locals, I stayed a few days with Druids.
America doesn't belong in the middle east, but Israel does.
You've never played Halo obviously.
There are a ton of new weapons, grenades, vehicles, maps, graphic upgrades, physics upgrades, multiplayer upgrades, gameplay upgrades, upgraded continuity/ergonomics, the controller layout has been completely revamped.
And by the way, those low-res videos you've been watching aren't even with true Halo 3 textures. So before you bash, at least A)RTFA(s), B) RTFC, C) STFU

This setup + twitter + internet controlled watering/lighting system = remote weed growhouses with minimal work. NICE!

The game you should be waiting for is DNF
I've had my 360 since the day it came out, never had any problems with it - I guess some people are just unlucky!

I sure hope nobody on the phone in the car is using a pace maker, EMP to disable 'just the phone?' They can't be serious.

Our system needs some reworking, no?
Slippery slope. I'm glad you live in Europe too.
also keep in mind the 'Windows Server 2003' advertisement on the top right, figures

Check out the last part of a campaign ad for Ronda Storms Apparently sharing information you own is 'ripping off families'.

Until you realized that actual lives were being taken instead of nickels and dimes, genius.
Sites working fine here, same build/extensions. But I have similar problems with a lot of pages, it's just a FF bug, view in... *shudder* IE
Using this method?
Wow, this is the second time I've seen Tubgirl/Goatse links modded up to five. I think hell is getting chilly ;P
