No, its not. The purpose of an MMORPG is to play a fantasy based game in an MMO environment. EQ brought the idea of progression being everything, before that Ultima and its ilk had very little progression.
Actually Ultima had quite a bit of progression only it wasn't in the levels we now know. Then it was fight more to get better strength so that you can fight better people, and be more powerful than the PK's.
Or it was cast spells to get better intelligence so that you can cast higher level spells.
It was always about progression. They just did it a different way so you weren't worried about your next level.
This follows Microsoft's new basic assertion that the computer and all its data belongs to Microsoft in the first place, therefore calling it "My Computer" is technically (and possibly legally) incorrect.
They were going to call it "Our Computer", but decided against it on the grounds that users might think they were sharing something, and didn't want there to be any confusion. Microsoft doesn't share anything.
(For the humorless: This is a joke. But it's funny because you know how close to the truth it is. Or maybe it's scary for the same reason.)
Or at least it would have been funny if it wasn't what basically every other comment to this article said
Gee there's a surprise, a guy who is a master at revisionist history, see all the bastardizations of the original trilogy, had an interview in 2005 that's contrary to what was said in an interview in the late 90's. Of course he says now that there was never any story post ROTJ, it suits his life better to not have further story.
When he first announced that he was doing Ep's 1, 2, 3 it suited his life at the time to also say he was planning 7, 8, and 9.
Why should it surprise anyone that he now says there's no story past ROTJ. It's not like he hasn't changed his story before. After all just ask my posts Great Great Great Grandparent
Sega's last college football game was College Football 2k3 which came out during the 2002 season. They hadn't made a football game for the 2003, or 2004 campaign, and prior to this announcement there didn't seem to be any news regarding desire for the 2k series to reprise it's College game for 2005. Now unfortunately they have no chance.
I think the greater point here is that he's being charged for crimes committed before they were crimes
Wouldn't that make the law he was charged under an ex post facto law? Shouldn't they only thing he be charged for is any occurence of the violation after the law was passed?
On the Screen where they show the title of the movie, against a backdrop of stars, there is a Star Constellation of 42 to the Left of the Book Constellation
It gets better, IN the slide show on the slide for Computers.com They Say that people didn't think the Tennessee Titans could be beaten.
The St. Louis Rams, known then as the Greatest Show on Turf, were a heavy favorite, and most people were surpised that the Titans weren't blown out at halftime, especially considering the Titans were a wild card team that year, that had the benefit of a questionable lateral in the Music City Miracle just to stay alive.
Maybe Forbes should stick to reporting about Business, because they obviously don't know anything about Sports.
Now, if the face-time Ep. 6 folks (Ford, Fisher, Hamilton, et al.) start getting signed into contracts like this then we would be talking.
And exactly which character was Hamilton?
It's not that they have ran out of people with original ideas willing to take risks, It's that the current CEO of Disney, is a money grubbing suit, who doesn't care about company anymore, and doesn't want to spend the time discovering original ideas.

HL3 on the XBox 360 only helps if it's exclusive or relatively far in advance of the PC Release of the same game.
Well the image that's used for my neighborhood in West Valley, Utah is less than two years old.

There's a shock. As if anyone couldn't see this happening. Now I wonder how many people will take this chance to start bashing steam once again

Apparently you've never played any of EA's College Football Games, or you would know that happened about 5 years ago.
If other developers actually developed College Football Games.
Unfortunately now other developers won't even get that chance.
... Since it seems we now know what it's counting down to.

That ignores the retailer's cut, which is probably in the ballpark of 50%.
Uhh no it doesn't that's why it was Total GROSS
