I love Steam. I can buy a game in a brick&mortar store (Modern Warfare 2 as my most recent example), enter the serial key into Steam and now I can play that game anywhere I want and on any computer I want as long as I have an internet connection. Blizzard has gone a similar route with the...

The game No, the game didn't make them violent. Shitty human nature did. Jonas was an asshole and deserved an ass-kicking, not because of the game but because of his behavior.

Sorry Bob, but you come across as a low-rent Yahtzee. That review was painful to watch, and listen to. At least Yahtzee is funny. I'll reserve judgement on the movie when I actually see it, but from what everyone has told me it's pretty f'ing awesome. I work with 2 HUGE Star Trek...

Exactly, you hit the nail on the head with that last sentence.

In my old guild the healers took a lot of the brunt...but then again a few were just terrible. Then we got into BC and the smaller raid sizes made it apparent that the ones who did ok in 40-mans couldn't handle the smaller group dynamic and their ability (or lack thereof) became really apparent.

I was a MT for my WoW guild for almost 3 years and I totally know where you're coming from. It's a bit of a rush to know that you are literally the single person in that 40-man raid that can make or break a boss fight. One of my favorite fights ever was when we were fighting Nefarion and our...

Hehe, "no oddjobs!" was yelled countless times when we'd settle down for a night of GoldenEye in college. MarioKart64 was always a second favorite, both games wasted countless hours late into the night that would have been better used for studying or completing assignments. And don't forget...

I owned a Dreamcast in college. I literally saved up money, stashing it in a giant, empty plastic pretzel container. When I bought it from EBGames I walked out with the console, House of the Dead and two light guns. I later played Sonic and PSO. The Dreamcast was an amazing console and died...

I thought this was published before...and a quick dip into my e-mail archive shows 6/6/06. Ooooh. -Iain
