It was taken off of Kickstarter because that's a place to seek investors. It's not a place for panhandlers.

No homosexuality in Star Wars? Tell that to the legion of Slash fiction writers.

So is this the first Canadian space walk?

Every time I read an article about the original Xbox it makes me want a Gladius 2.

Blizzard makes it sound as if the developers are running the convention. No, there's a staff of convention producers who run the convention. Perhaps the shareholders are starting to pressure Blizzard to release games they announced years ago (Diablo III).

For a company whose stocks are trading below a dollar this makes sense. THQ needs to tighten down and focus on core products that turn profits or they won't be in busy anymore.

But are there showers in the new building?

The OWS movement in New York actually did start their own business. They had to incorporate too. They were receiving around $2k a day in donations.

They were spoiled squatters before they moved into the building.

Is it me or is that HUD awfully crowded?

I agree it doesn't "sound" good on the surface. They need a better marketing strategy. Perhaps something like "8 epic missions consisting of 10+ hours of gameplay" would be better.

Ravenloft please. Then I'll consider.

Don't care. It's on Origin so I'll be playing on the 360.

Leaderboards with only 32 achievements? C'mon MS, we need a few hundred here.

Lucas is a fantastic "idea" guy. His ideas are usually awesome. However he sucks as a director. When other people direct his ideas it usually translates into success. (Howard the Duck being the massive exception.)

Obama is playing both sides of the fence because it's an election year. He needs to keep his Hollywood donors happy while still bowing to the "average" voter who is pissed over this legislation.

You're not using Origin for SWTOR. You only used Origin to pre-order the game. SWTOR launches through it's own launcher and doesn't interact with Origin. After I pre-ordered SWTOR I uninstalled Origin from my machine.

We're talking distribution, not how the executable is fired. Steam is a "retailer". A closer analogy would be if EA didn't allow Best Buy to sell ME3 because they want everybody to buy it from EA's store.

It's not nerd loyalty to Steam in the sense you describe. It's the fact that my digital download library for the PC is all on Steam. It's the fact that I believe Steam has a better service than Origin. Yes I'm loyal to Steam because I've used it for years and the product/platform is tried-and-true for me. I don't use…

You're right. EA has every right to distribute their game as they see fit. And I have every right not to buy it via Origin. Steam, in my opinion, is the better service. I'm still playing the game, but I'll just go the 360 route instead.
