Lets hope so because I plan to wipe my XP 32bit install in my gaming rig (which should have been done 6 months ago) and perform a clean install of Windows 7 when my disc arrives. It'll be nice to actually be able to USE all that RAM I have installed in it for a change.
If they made a decent and non-monthly charging Harvest Moon I would totally consider rejoining the MMO playing market. Harvest Moon would be a great choice for a MMO that focused on something other than slaughtering epic monsters. Think of the possibilities of trading goods with other farms to get seeds for your farm.
And if the Vatican could jump in on the MMO market with The New Testament - Bible Wars or something like that, it would be epically hilarious.
I agree, but I would bump the timing of their fall to after RA2. As cheesy as it was at times, it was still good. But everything else that EA has done with the C&C franchise has just been a disgrace (Generals aside, but that didn't exactly make the company look that good to the rest of the world). C&C3/Kane's Wrath was a bloated piece of crap and the console port of it was horrendous. RA3 jacked the Cheese factor up past 11 and did it horrendously.
And I'm sick and tired of this whole "Lets make an MMO" solution that companies seem to be adopting lately. Not everyone has time (or the desire) to sit around grinding for levels like some basement-dwelling WoW addict. Some of us have (gasp) JOBS that we need to go to to pay for our gaming habits. I for one got out of the MMO scene after high school and have successfully kept myself out of it (except for 3 months on a free WoW server because I was THAT bored over the summer at college), and have no intention of going back to that world filled with asinine griefers, lazy beggers, and annoying noobs.
The gaming industry is turning into a reflection of the American film and movie industry. Nothing but endless spinoffs, sequels, and remakes of the same limited collection of things. What happened to all that creativity we used to have?
Any normal geek should be able to lift 47lbs without a problem from moving around outdated CRTs to throw them out of windows. And from moving around liquid cooled servers.
Waaaaaaaaaaayyyy back when it was first announced they were developing a console codenamed "Revolution." A quick google search netted nothing. The price point didn't last long and was quickly changed to $199 about a month later. It was pretty suspicious at the time, could have just been a goof by their PR dept.
I graduated in May, and my school did support Linux until my last year there. By supported I mean "let me get online with." The 'support' ended when they enabled the Mac OSX client for Cisco Clean Access NAC (AKA the biggest evil in the known universe), and in turn disabled the web login form. You could still go give them your MAC address for a device that wasn't running XP, Vistaids, or OSX, but they only allowed this for Xboxes, PS3s, and Wiis. I ended up having to set up a Server 2003 machine to act as a router to get my linux computers online (and remain the ONLY user of Linux that lived on campus).
around 15 years with computers, only ever had 2 capacitor bombs. Both were in the same piece of hardware (a PSU) and the root cause was actually unstable power in my dorm room. Stupid shared power lines.
Having read all the comments I know this doesn't apply to guys with servers running Shoutcast (we are screwed no matter what), but what would this entail if someone had no revenue to begin with? Like said guys with Shoutcast?

No boom today. And Ivanova is God. Trust Ivanova, trust yourself. Everyone else, shoot em.
I could have sworn they limited it 2 releases ago.
I for one welcome our new food-seeking, intelligent, virtual overlords.
They might as well be playing WoW on Microsoft Surface if they are playing 4e.

Because corporate America considers Linux to be pirated as well. As well as all FOSS software for that matter.
Correlation does not imply causation.

Almost down to that $100 price they said it was going to be originally.
One of these running XP ought to be able to run Crysis at maximum settings.
