I agree, and $500? wow. It is nice to run games at a decent frame rate, unfortunately for Radeon users their driver support seems to be falling behind their hardware by quite a lot. My Nvidia 560ti runs my favorite game Tribes Ascend with full bling, while Radeon users of higher end cards report all sorts of issues.
Initially attracted to Mafia Wars due to it's similarity to a good text rpg I had played for a while before Facebook way around, I have grown disillusioned with all the Wall spam and NON-real interaction that I found the game to be about.
Glad I never stopped playing the original.. If you want to see what a Social game should be more like try http://www.torn.com/130690 Yes I would get a referral bonus, but only if you make it to level 10, Which I doubt many would make it to just in the course of checking it out.
Unfortunately these days much of the original tribes2 team is said to be working with some of the guys from WOW to make this instead. http://www.firefallthegame.com/
I am watching this carefully. I still play tribes2 every other week or so thanks to the tribes Next team. and it is IMHO the best FPS ever made.
I remember being in Wyoming at a house that had a dish and messing about with the remote one day, i was trying to find something interesting on....
I ended up watching the feeds from the network news stations updating the story about the rood ripping off a plane landing in Hawaii.
Very different than the final product.
I really don't understand all the complaints about battery life.
I can count the number of times I've had my phone reach less that 25% power and I use the phone in addition to the web and mapping/gps functions nearly everyday.
I do have a "cradle" that I drop it into when I get home, plugged into my computer to download files that also works as a charger.

Good to see that with schools going down the toilet, a budget spirally out of control and more and more companies moving out of the area...the legislature is hard at work.

Nice try, except that “the US Hospitality Trade Association” appears not to exist, and there is nothing about this in any news feed anywhere.
All the links on the web point back to this one page.
So either provide a source for the story or you’re a liar.
You seem to be assuming that mob wars is original...maybe to face book, but their a browser based game called Torn city or now even just torn.com that's been around a lot longer than facebook.
If the top 1000 sites left google...would anyone notice? the answer is yes..the next 1000 that would replace them..and my guess is there are a couple that would stay in the top 1000 after getting the exposure even if the others came back.

when bored in the enemy base using beacons to draw things like happy faces that teamates could see on their HUDS..
Normally done during matches where things are going very poorly for the unfortunate foe.

BTW the new Tribes is FTP..Join me https://account.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/?referral=1207516&utm_campaign=email for anyone who remembers tribes 1 and tribes 2, you know why you should give it a shot, for anyone who has never tried a tribes game...well, you are missing out.

I tried to comment on this a while ago but the latency messed me up.

Well at least if you lock yourself out of the office you have open ports at the gas meter to hook up to.
It's not just products...I thought the many movie reviews from IMDB on a movie were fake...

Just to see if this ad was doing him any good.(wait for it)....He told me business was booming.

I run the Dolphin browser on my Droid which handles multi touch and gestures quite nicely.
I like this.
You would have to hop into his time travel machine to get him to write it however, as he passed away in November of 2008.

A million voices cried out and were ....merged with another server?
hmm not quite as satisfying
Vodaphone Istanbul now features water cooled servers!
I've noticed the same thing...a few years ago I took to giving them your SSN instead of mine. I sleep much better at night now.
