Seems odd that a link calling the slidepad "uncomfortable" links to an article which says it's perfectly serviceable.

"For folks who haven't snatched up the now-cheaper 3DS, Resident Evil Revelations will also be coming out for the Nintendo DS systems, too."

The accent Astin was doing for Sam was Somerset, not "Oirish". And he hit it 99% perfectly of the time.

Yup. CoE does.

No - it's third person.

Re: Thumbstick - exactly. It's more on a par with the DS guitar hero peripheral controller.

The Avengers poster is fanmade. It has Norton (rather than Ruffalo) on it.

Dwayne is half African-American, half Samoan.

He's not very British. He has lived in the USA since he was 1 year old, and has dual citizenship. As a Brit, I'm happy for you guys to have him. ;)

Almost all Olympic level archers wear a small armguard similar to the one on the poster. Skill levels have nothing to do with whether one wears one.

@ILaen'Cythe: Same here. Emailed Friday morning after the site borked when ordering the CD - or reply as of yet.

No, that's total units - so will include the bargain bin priced copies. But it's still a thoroughly respectable amount of units in circulation. It's that rationale that got the similarly performing Dead Space a sequel, yet seems to be doing ME no good at all (the dev's original prediction 3m million sales didn't help…

@saturns2k: Two million units shifted for ME isn't at all bad. The biggest problem seems to be how slowly it sold.

@matrixdude: As I understand it, the Kinect contains the hardware/firmware for processing the speech recognition. Or something.

I was going to post about how this is a very long article based on a complete misunderstanding of what average life expectancy actually means. But lots of people else has already done so. So… Err.. I won’t. But, y’know… +1 to what they said.

@Gnarkiller: Mine was 7 days between dispatch and getting it back, and I know others with about the same turnaround. Not sure where you're based, but for me that included getting the console from the UK to Germany and back. I was most impressed.

@collex: New Roman Empire is menioned in passing in an Eccleston era episode, I believe.

@sui generis: @Histeria: Correction: The above should read "the two little people I know...."

@sui generis: the two little people (medically "dwarfs") prefer the term little people. And so that is the phrase I use. Thinking in terms of "what I would want if I were you" is kinda of irrellevant.

@sui generis: The only thing that puts me off this theory to an extent is that the child has an American accent, and River has an English accent. Doesn't discount it completely, but makes me slightly more skeptical.
