"Bethesda has obtained the rights to develop Fallout, they've licensed the Fallout franchise from Interplay (except the MMO license)"

To me, the compelling reasons were to put more of my money in Valve's pockets, and to support a content delivery system built around the same idea. I also think the Steam Silver package was the best deal out of the bunch as it came with the complete back catalog of Valve games, Half-Life: Source, and a free copy of Day of Defeat: Source when it's released -- for the cost of the retail game (HL2 and CS:S only), a fast food meal and a pack of smokes.
As a Blizzard customer and World of Warcraft subscriber I demand the right to assemble with large numbers of thoroughly incompetent teenagers in low level zones to protest the imbalance of [insert class/race/skill here], regardless of how many times the developers have said "we know, we're working to address the issue." Any negative effects of this protest indicate Blizzard's inability to "learn some programming wtf." Clearly the players know more about running an online game for hundreds of thousands of people and have a better understanding of how [class/race/skill] balance works than the people that spent several years developing the game.
Seriously. Let's start an online petition or something.

As the quoted text (correctly) says, the title is "Planescape: Torment". It's not plural and it's not possessive.

A friend once told me that using "Oriental" was inappropriate because people aren't rugs. I'm so confused. :( What do I call these people?!
What do we do if we're too ignorant to be more specific? I always thought "Asian" got the job done well enough. :|
