Its FSS's own fault really. If they would have went out of their way not to dumb down the game since beta, they might have made it someplace. But every patch they went out of their way to remove stuff people liked. Played since beta too. Saw this coming last week though and resigned my guild leader spot on Wednesday.
Another one of the announcements today was that Punkbuster would be used in Warhammer to detour cheaters. I think this is fab news. The classes and cities leave room for an expansion as well.
RR Tycoon 1 had some of the best copy protection for back in the day.
You got a book with 40 or so train engine types which were used in the game. After so many turns, the game would ask you the name of the engine it popped up. If you got it right you could continue, or if you didnt get it right, you were limited to 2 trains the rest of the match. It meant for you to keep that instruction book in good condition and not lost....
I for one would like to welcome our new plastic bag eating bacterium overlords.
I hope their stay is a pleasant one, as they dont want to eat us, just our plastic credit cards.
I for one have been using Yahoo as my main page since back in the early 90's when the net was really just starting.
I had been dreading this deal, because had it went through, I would have had to find a new home page.
I have been happy with yahoo for some 15 years or so now (golly has it been that long).
I for one am glad they withdrew, peaceably from this deal. As I like Yahoo far more then MS any day of the year. I also am glad that MS did not get their hands on the millions of emails which Yahoo also owns.
Here in Illinois, it woke me and my wife up. a couple of the cats were running around, the dog was howling. Book shelf rattled, but we're less then 100 miles from the epicenter. We went back to bed and got the kids up about 80 min later in the morning.
Neither of them made my chimney fall, so its a good thing I guess.
One of these days the Wabash and New Madrid faults are going to wake up and this whole area will be in a maze of chaos.
This is all we need, either mad whale disease, or a mad bovine that weighs in @ 5 tons.
Wheres the beef? See that cow out there in the field son? Shooting his cud through the blow hole in its neck?
I sense a new season of Thundarr.
All sense aside. NASA wonders why they don't get funding any more?
You know I bet if they planned to crash a ship into Iran, Bush lite would fly down personally with the Government credit card.
Yahoo! could also do a "poison pill" - buy Redhat. There's no way that Microsoft would be allowed to buy Yahoo! under such circumstances. I wouldnt see that as a poison pill, more like red pill or blue pill.
People shop and use Yahoo, simply because its Yahoo. A lot of people, who don't like MS, like me, would simply stop using Yahoo period and switch to Google, just to avoid MS. Should they buy Yahoo, but I personally hope they do not, mainly because I like Yahoo for Yahoo, and have for well over 10 years now. I like XP, but everything else, there is an alternative to use, OOo, Wii, Phillips mp3 players. There is only very little MS makes that most folks seem to want to use, are want to be forced into buying. MS how ever, doesn't seem to get this.
I remember some years back, a game called Dawn that was slated to me a mmorpg. The company had a good 200-300k people registered on the forums that were all expecting this great new 'EQ' like mmorpg to break the market, with pvp, destroyable terrain, towns.
They kept this up for a year or so before announcing they were doing the game as a RTS.
Dare we mention duke nukem never?
Im here patiently waiting for the stereo sized one that can secretly power my house so I can tell Ameren CIPs and there vastly monopolized pricing to kiss off.

This makes me lol. Sad that the entertainment industry has nothing left for originality sake but to make movies out of games (or vice versa).
How many of us actually expected them to get flak for loosing emails? Exit strategy, cover your a$$.

NASA is jealous of the /. computer....
Next, they will make a super big magnet in space and be able to make an entire continent shut up....

"It'd be kinda like ozzy remixing a britney spears song."
Actually, Children of Bodom redid 'oops I did it again', and it turned out to be quite good actually.
Metallica without Cliff Burton isn't even true metal.
You couldn't pay me to listen to a new Metallica album, but I still do enjoy Killem all - > And Justice.

Amd has supposed to have been dead and written off how many times in the past years? Ati as well?
:)
Its nice to know that they still maintain an edge, even though they have no where near the capitol on hand that nVidia and Intel do.
I for one always liked Underdogs...
Pay no attention to the man behind the server....his warez are not good warez.
As G%F&(if the courts $%^&$&FGHDH$K% Cwere expecting to read &GFDG^K)JG@this dataJ&!HG@
We will be able to pvp with our ears & eyelashes in 5 years times!!
I cant wait.
In all seriousness, this does rock, we have only been waiting for this for years now. next step. Holodecks.

I shalt giggle one day when EA gets shutdown.
Bastards buy out everyone who has an idea since they cant make something new up any more.
No better, and possibly worse then Microsuck.
Rennovate, dont innovate. Errr....reverse that...?
I imagine the RIAA is having seizures from this news.

Could it be, why pay 20$ in quarters at an arcade for a few hours, when you can buy a game in your house off the wii's wiifii download.

Most MUD's used non floating int's to manage their capitol structures. I fail to see why WoW would be any different.
