Yes, speaking of ethics, the primary purpose of those so-called "better servers" was to play pirated copies of their games. And you're surprised that Blizzard sued them?
I can think of extra MLB features.. for example, when playing at Yankee Stadium, if an umpire makes a call against the Yankees, the "fans" can throw stuff on the field. Also adding a "slap ball out of opposing pitcher's hand" move might be fun. See if you can time it so the umpires don't notice!
If the author or source is known for writing articles known as "Sneak Peeks", and this article is one of them, then one could reasonably write "Davyd Madeley wrote a Sneak Peek at Gnome 2.10". It's still not the most well-worded phrase I've ever seen, but it could be understandable.
However, I have no idea if that's the case or not; I just found this post while meta-modding.
"Torino" is the Italian name for the city that English speakers call "Turin". (In the same way that the city of Venice is "Venezia" in Italian, or Roma/Rome, Firenze/Florence, etc.)
My company uses Exchange, and I can access the web interface fine through Firefox... if you use IE, there are more "features", but it works fine without it.

Hockey on Mars would be pretty cool.

what i mean is, what happened to their first games? ... Need For Speed III Hot Pursuit.
hell, the whole NFS franchise brought EA into existence.
Um, what? How old are you, 12?
Wikipedia has something of a history of EA.
Glad to hear that you know what's best for everyone else.
You should run for the chairman of the DNC; they love people like that.
People actually Meta-Moderate?
:)
If I'm overly bored, I do.
that would be called running a ponzi scheme and is universally recognized as in an irrational investment in every sector.
And is also illegal as fraud in the US. The SEC will be on you like a frat guy on a drunk cheerleader.
(Well, unless you're the government, obviously.)
So now will people who've never played games before think that Halo is the first RTS, too?

Excellent post, though.
hahaha, that's excellent. someone should mod you +5, r0x0rs.
So who runs EA? (Wasn't it started by Trip Hawkins?) Currently it seems to be Larry Probst... can we get a Larry Probst Borg icon here for EA stories?
Is there any nudity and petrification involved?
How about hot grits?
Yes, I'm sure this article will produce productive discussion.
I can see the "Faux News" trolls coming already.
As long as the robots are around to protect us from the terrible secret of space, they can eat and excrete all they want.
I love how a million American parents are writing a million complaint letters to Clearchannel etc for flashing 1 second of Janet Jackson's breast.
Clearchannel owns radio stations. I doubt flashing a breast over radio is going to do much.
I love how a million Slashbots write into websites about things they know nothing about.
Stop by Boondoggles on Saturdays to cheer for the Ken Valentino Band. Hat's off to the drummer.
Don't you mean Dave Bretz and the Bretzy Five?
It's called "reading what actually happens", or "reality" for short.
Hell, Joe Lieberman started the whole anti-videogame crusade 10 years ago. Tipper Gore was a big proponent as well.
"the www" (http + html, early 80s).
I didn't realize 1991 was in the "early 80s".
Admittedly those people had committed crimes rather than been the victim, but it's really not that big a step.
Ummm... so it's "not a big step" from innocent to guilty?
I hope that if I'm ever on trial, you're not on my jury.
Actually this sounds like an episode trom STNG:
"The celery analogy"
Or a Robert Ludlum book.
"Torino" is the Italian name for the city that English speakers call "Turin". (In the same way that the city of Venice is "Venezia" in Italian, or Roma/Rome, Firenze/Florence, etc.)
The History of Our Overlords.
I hope they were suitably welcomed.
I find The Force to be as distasteful as any other form of magic, paranormal activity, or fantasy used to currently sell books and movies.
It must be horrible to go through life with no imagination. I pity you.

"It's tough going, and Spirit experiences slippage of up to 80% as it climbs the hills."
Sounds a bit like trying to get out of Gehennom with the amulet.
hahahahahahaha
+5, Funny. If only I had mod points.
The game is pretty cool, but whoever wrote that NYT article needs to stick their head in a bucket of cold water.
