The guild wars game distribution system is actually one of the coolest I've ever seen. For starters, it only installs bare minimum requirements before it lets you play the game. Then, after that, it only downloads exactly the areas that you visit, so if you never get to level 20 and visit the "end-game" content, then you never have unnecessary space taken on your hard drive.
I actually went out and bought the game from Gamestop though, it saved me $10.
Sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh... corilational! And it took my a minute to figure out what the heck a "bullit" was.

The reason is because it's easy to make video games a scapegoat. People can crucify all their pent up anger/aggression/distaste onto something they do not do and do not understand.
"One requirement for Surprises is the absence of Game State Overview or the presence of Imperfect Information or Limited Foresight. Because of this, Surprises are most often achieved by having Dedicated Game Facilitators such as Game Masters. Never Ending Stories are a way of overcoming the problems of Narrative Structures by combining Surprises with Replayability, thus making the narrative continue and change forever."

"The quintessential Nomenclature for Nonsubstantiating Ideosyncracies has expanded the market share of the Gamer Image in a direct correlation to the Space-Time Continuum"
Raising the dialup rates for people by such a huge margin is absolutely asinine, honestly. Then think about the $18/month they would charge for people who cannot get broadband internet is at least 50% a month more expensive than other dial-up providers.
Who in their right mind would even consider paying for AOL dial-up?!
No it doesn't... you pay the same amount per month whether you spend 10 hours or 100 hours. In fact, it would be more beneficial to the makers of WoW for people to play less. Less playing equates to a longer time to reach level 60, and everyone wants to reach level 60. Longer time in reaching level 60 means more months of paid play, which means more money for the game creators.
I lived in Japan for three (3) years, and while I was there, I noticed that many a time on Japanese televised game shows, women would end up topless, or expose some other part of their anatomy. For some reason, nekkid wimmins isn't quite a shock to the Japanese people as it is to Americans.
This makes me wonder what kinds of B games from Japan could end up with a D (or Z, for that matter) rating here in the US.
As long as they don't attempt to turn this into the scene from Minority Report, when the tech/hologram guy is showing off the "good clean fun," it's harmless.
Fallout was the first real RPG that I ever played for the PC.
The detail in everything you could do (remember that I was a virgin to RPGs...) blew me away. I just loved how depending on how you leveled your character, different options became available to you that helped or hindered your progress throughout the game. And of course, if you didn't care about finding the other options, you could just blow up everything that moved!

Can anyone mirror the images for those of us stuck by the man?
It would be much appreciated.

Other than the the fact that there have been 0 amazing PC releases since Half Life 2 came out. The industry is ripe for another revolution.
