Good idea, michael. Since you mentioned it and having posted the link on/., maybe you wouldn't mind obliging the notion and putting a link to a mirror that you've graciously setup in the article?
We waited to see what cool new things others were doing that we could stuff in our game. Because, while we are Blizzard and make solid games, we usually don't break new ground.

Which got me to thinking the other day, if the gov./courts are going to provide companies with a forum to sue for monetary damages, why don't we have a system in place that gives people representation if they can't afford it? We have one for criminal court cases and we don't for civil?
I understand the differences between the two, but if the government is going to let these companies continue to abuse and clog the judicial system with lawsuits just to intimidate people who can't fight back, wouldn't it be in the publics interest to have some representation?
It just seems absurd that our taxes get to be used to pay for civil court infrastructure (judges, facilities, etc.) and we're the ones being abused by it in far too many instances.
In movies its mass-market advertising. They usually PAY to have their cars be the heroes set of wheels. It's rarely ever just because he needs a car, lets get a cheap one.
In the cases where it's not, it's so the character on screen looks as badass as he can in an exotic sports car. Vin Diesel wouldn't look as cool in a big car chase driving a 97 Altima as he would driving a 2005 Porsche 911
It might be ok. Afterall first Matrix movie wasn't their story in the first place. Google for "mother of the matrix". They're pretty good at adapting other people's source material.
At least this time they're up front that it's an adaptation. That should be good enough for the/. crowd to forgive them.
In an article I read the week after the tsunami when they were making estimates about how much the Earth's rotation may have slowed, it said that the Earth's rotation speeds up by ~15 microseconds per year.
I've been lookin' for it in my browser history but can't find it, but no I don't think it will be worth adjusting the atomic clocks.
I'll tell you why I dropped SWG (though I haven't played WoW).
I liked to go out and actually do some battling. But everyone I knew in the game sat around crafting things to make credits. And the missions themselves are pretty boring. I got tired of shooting the same critters over and over.
The game is also more than a lil buggy, even a year after launch when I went back to it, there were still bugs I'd dealt with at launch.
Finally I don't really like the Teras Kasi Masters profession and those that choose it. It just seems wrong to me for a Star Wars game.

That parent's who aren't actively involved in the raising of their kids have them taken away. It's not the rest of the worlds job to babysit.
If it's Linare and Wal*Mart then what's this about??

Don't give the South Park guys any ideas man. Just keep their attention on South Park.
Enjoy!

After the way her movie has been received, I would imagine Elektra to be looking for some work.
Hubris. It's the same reason we can't stop and ask for directions.

Try as you might, you can never poke out the minds eye.
Woops that was spose to be "/joke for those that need it." my fingers got ahead of my brain.
Ubintu? I thought this was about Ubuntu?? Someone needs to get some better marketing! for those that need it.
Based upon how the MS thing went, could be 2009 before that happens. Of course it depends on who puts up enough cash for the elections in 2008.
and with the ice storm outside, i don't really feel like going anywhere. what better excuse to play games?

Who do we hate today?
They're trying to churn up some ticket sales to Elektra

and that's on top of the ~30 million (figuring at 49.99 a pop) for the box. Looking to be a pretty good year for Blizzard so far.
I'd much rather have seen the release of a Starcraft MMO rather than Yet Another Fantasy MMO, but such is life.

More screens. The environments seem to be on par with SWG.
Technically speaking the engine seems to be very competent.
Small price to pay for the smiting of ones enemies.
