Valve is spying on you? Wow, that's a new one, considering you can perfectly easily close, disable, uninstall, and not have steam running. It only needs to be open when you are playing a Valve game, and the only statistics it takes are which games you are playing, and for how long. The results of that logging can be pretty interesting too.
If you actually read the quote, rather than just read the sensationalist added on text, you'd realise that they are stating they are doing what a lot of companies do. MANY companies don't completely follow customer requests, many games would be worse off for the wear if they did, the AWP wouldn't be in CS for an example.
Riiight...so you'd rather quit the game than just roll another class? EVERYONE hates paladins anyway, they are stupidly cheap with their shields. Maybe the game wasn't for you at all?
Guild Wars is picking up a totally different market from those who play WoW, due to it's lack of a monthly fee. Additionally, I know many people who own and play both, because of GW's lack of a month fee.
How many times to people have to be told before they get it?! Unless you go on one of the high population servers, THERE ARE NO WAIT QUEUES TO JOIN THE GAME. I think it's mainly because people believe they get a more epic experiance on larger servers, which isn't actually true. There are loads of mid/low pop servers, just look here: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/serverstatus/ [worldofwarcraft.com]
The only feature that has regular queues is the BG, and that isn't because of server infastructure, it's because of lack of interest on the players part. It probably doesn't help that most of the areas for the BG are miles away from anything else, I bet queues would be a lot shorter if they enabled you to join the BG queue at any capital city.
Well that's very wrong, at least where I play. I play Horde on Daggerspine (EU), and I see about as many trolls as I do Orcs, which is quite a lot (although not as many as Taurens).
I suppose you could make an educated guess from the official forums. There are over a million players of WoW at the moment (assuming that some of the two million have cancelled), and there tends to be around a thousand users on each of the regional WoW community boards constantly whining and screaming NERF. Now, either a lot of people are silently complaining, or a lot of people are pretty satisfied.
Blizzard DO offer character transfers. When a server gets too full (as in, hour long queues to join in peak times) a news item appears on the main site and you can transfer characters from the high pop. server to one of the newest low pop servers, FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY.
It's not blizzard's fault that you missed the transfer window for your server.
Guild Wars isn't an MMORPG. It's developers refer to it as a CORPG (Competitive Online Role-Playing Game). Not to say that it's any better or worse than WoW, since I've played both and think they are both great, but it is a very different style of play from WoW.
Yes there have, but they are mainly print-only. There were some scans of some pages of DoD:S in PC Gamer in the UK about a month ago, which showed them doing a CS:S to DoD:S (abbreviation heaven!), aka totally redoing everything.
This is exactly why people are so excited by the console, because the Killzone 2 footage you stated was CGI was actually ingame footage, same with the DMC4 (I'm not sure about the tekken footage, it did look very much like CGI, but you never know).
Sony also confirmed the PlayStation 3, will use Blu-Ray discs as its media format. The discs can hold up to six times as much data as current-generation DVDs. It will also support CR-ROM, CDR+W, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. It also confirmed the machine would be backward-compatible all the way to the original PlayStation. It will also have slots for Memory Stick Duo, a SD slot, and a compact flash memory slot. It will also sport a slot for a detachable 2.5 inch HDD somewhat similar the Xbox 360's.

Out of the box, the PS3 will have the capability to support seven Bluetooth controllers. It will also have six USB slots for peripherals--four up front and two in the back.
Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2 Ghz, giving the whole system 2.18 teraflops of overall performance. It will sport 256mb XDR main RAM at 3.2 Ghz, and have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700mhz.
Why is that Christianity is the only religion it is still ok to hate?
I don't hate any religion. Religion is innocent, and brings hope to many people in moderation. The people that tend to cause all the trouble are the evangelicals and the fundamentals. They are the ones you should watch out for...

That's different though. Obviously it's best for movie-based games to have the voices done by the actual actors.

Congratulations Internet Detective! Through your supreme deductive skills and cunning intellect you have traced the source of this joke!
30 Euros is WAY more than $15. $15 in euros would be around 7.50-8 euros. You are being ripped off.

.00001% of all players are playing Trolls

Super Nintendo had better graphics than the PSone? Give me some of what you're smoking!
