I am pretty sure the developers saw it coming too. Months before launch, Gamasutra's developer responses on topics relating to the next generation leaned heavily towards the Wii. It was the publishers that were blind to what was going on.
Nothing like a good Alpha Centauri quote.
It's funny, because in the game, the best(or at least, most willing) ally University can have is the Morgans: science and economics working together to further their own goals.
I hate harassment. In StarCraft, players will use their scouting workers to slowly pick away at a building or workers, microing it away as the player attempts to shoo it away. Some players go as far as constructing gas structures over their enemy's geysers. I see harassment as a sign that the player has no respect for their opponents, that they value winning way more than they value fun. I leave the game immediately at the first sign of harassment.
The car analogy wasn't needed, but it is people going above-and-beyond to give us these car analogies that makes Slashdot the wonderful place that it is!
Randomizing maps is best left to the realm of strategy games where environmental discovery and adapting to new tactical situations are the name of the game.
There are a lot of (a majority of) strategy gamers that follow the exact patterns as FPS players that play the same maps. Players across all multiplayer genres cluster around their "comfort-zone" maps, levels, etc. Tactics and discovery don't really have a home anywhere, sadly.
Nono it's not the dregs of the dregs we have preparing the food, it's just the teenagers. We have Law and Politics to keep the real dregs from giving us food poisoning.
Thank you! Everyone assumes that because the card game and the show were so popular that they must have been the first to be created. If Pokemon had not been a successful Game Boy game the other two would never have followed. Although the card game pulled it off more effectively, it was a game designed to become popular by scratching that "collection" itch that children often have.

Animal Crossing: several full NES games playable inside.
Interestingly, what happened to those action-movie-watching teens of the 1980s? Who did they grow up to be?

I believe the only appropriate place to go postal is at a post office.
More people die every year to bee stings than quite a lot of thing people are generally terrified about. Maybe you're onto something!
StarCraft 1 was stylized, so it makes sense that its sequel would do the same. Stylization makes things easier to recognize and remember.
From the videos, it looks like the selection limit is about 48 now.

It is a pun on "bow shock," the phenomenon that was observed by the spacecraft.

Of course people worship the Gods of Redmond, it just happens that they're not Microsoft. They're Nintendo of America, down the street from Microsoft.
I believe there is an entire South Park episode that goes along those lines.

At least when Nintendo cashes in (and they do for just about every game,) they put some effort into it. Be thankful for that.
I know how you feel! I wouldn't know where my local gym was either if it wasn't next to a steak house and a KFC.
Ironically enough, LaLaLand is the name of my Animal Crossing town. It looks like I am going to have some strange neighbors moving in soon!
As I remember it, they were wiped out by a virus spread by dirty telephones.
From what I understand they'll be porting Spore to pretty much every platform in some form or another.

I would imagine that after the divorce you'd have much more time to devote to your MMORPG.
A box? Why not go for the real thing? http://www.smashmyps3.com/
Wright himself was only directly involved in developing two of those: The Sims and The Sims 2.
Too tired to think. Reactor meltdown.
