This will be good if......the AI isn't retarded and/or a cheater, as it is in most Civ games....the expansion packs aren't just new civs and features that should have shipped with 1.0 (who am I kidding, that's all an x pac ever is)...the modding is elegant enough to allow easy modding and also deep changes....I can take on more than 18 other CIvs without crashing my game on a quad core with 3 gigs of RAM.
Sorry, still just a bit bitter at how broken Civ IV is after two or three years and two expansions. Not that it doesn't suck up hours of my life regardless, just there's a lot of room for improvement.
Some of us (most of us?) aren't using that crap because we don't know how... it's because we don't want to.
Just give me a phone that's a phone, preferably one that doesn't look and feel like it was made by Fisher Price. I have a camera, it works fine on it's own. I have an iPod, I don't need a phone that plays MP3s. I sit in front of a computer 12 hours a day, I don't need internet on my phone.
Your 60 still has access to equipment from the Outlands via the Auction House and can spec to the 41 point talents that came with the upgrade. They can also use Jewelcrafting items (even if they can't make them) at all levels and use any other crafting items that could be used/equipped by a 60.
If you're bored you can check out the Caverns of Time, which is very pretty even if you can't raid the instances. The area around Medivh's Tower has changed too, and level 60+ enemies there drop loot from BC. I know there was Netherweave on our Auction House a week before BC went live.
So there is some new content that was available for free, just not a lot.
McFarlane makes terrible "action" figures. If you like your action figures non-posable, top heavy to the point of being impossible to actually make stand-up (most of the time even with the handily included base), and more often that not just plain ugly to look at, then yes, buy McFarlane toys.
Wasn't the marketing of the Clerks non-posable toys as "inaction" figures kind of a jibe at this?
Claiming Sony has never won a proprietary format battle is plain ignorant.
Sony's BetaSP and Digibeta standards are near universal in professional (American) television production. Their Umatic 3/4" videocassette standard was the format of choice before that. Their DVCam and HDCam tape formats are reasonably popular too.
It's just in the consumer sector where they fail massively. But given their domination over professional video storage standards, can you blame them for still trying?
And exactly what would be wrong if a terrorist got a hold of a scortched space capsule? There is no rocket attached... and something tells me that any rocket secrets than could be gleaned from this device had been sold to Iraq and Iran by either America or the Soviets a long time ago... This is vintage 60's technology after all... Even the computers on board can't be too much sharper than an Apple ][E/Commodore 64
Please keep in mind that the "undeveloped" nations not covered under the treaty would be China and India... Undeveloped countries perhaps but not too far behind the curve....
Also keep in mind, you rabid ecologists, that most scientists (and English PM Tony Blair) agree that the Kyoto treaty doesn't restrict emission nearly far enough...
Also, the treaty was never seriously going to pass Congress no matter what Bush said or did...
One last thing, before the last Ice Age CO2 levels in the atmosphere were higher than they've ever been... I'm still waiting for a theory on global warming that explains that... Not saying global warming doesn't happen or isn't happening, just that maybe we need to get some more information on what's happening...
PS Shouldn't this have been moderated down to -1 for being off topic???

Surely the Sun is the closest star to Earth, right?
The case would make an awesome industrial strength cheese grater....
OMG Blizz caves to QQers yet again! GG Blizz!
Oh and a world editor that isn't half implemented, with no documentation, and that is also buggy as Hell wouldn't be bad either.

Where are you seeing movies for $5?
Movies are at least $10 if not $14 around here.

Mauradon was structured similarly, with a purple side and an orange side that eventually met up.
Or you could just skip to the end with the [Staff of Celebras].
Didn't it always say episode IV in the titles? I seem to remember it being that way since the original VHS release at least...

Platinum Grit would be interesting and probably very twisted.
You'd have to erase the registry entries at least... Maybe more if it searches for the actual program in the Program Files directory...
It's just finding that plutonium that takes the effort...
