Well, that's a technical issue. Putting a character on the Portal is supposed to be magic for the kids. Any kind of update/patch/download/management of data takes away from that magic, and half the Wii units aren't online anyways. If you work backwards from 'keep the Portal magic intact' then you'll see why on-disc…

Ah God, Bastila. I had a surprisingly unhealthy attraction to that character. Anyone who complains about Jennifer Hale's 'gruff' Femshep should go listen to Bastila in KOTOR talk for a while.

@josephmeraz: My thought as well. I enjoyed the video. And, by God, that AJ Locasio as Marty is f-ing brilliant.

@nrXic: Cwned.

The Republicans' special skill is to bankrupt the crowd. Nobody does it better.

@AnthonyHasGame: I hear you about Shafer, he's definitely talented and makes fantastic stories/characters, but if he promised to have the game done at X time at a cost of Y dollars, and then wildly misses both targets, that's bad business. Games are budgeted/timed at the beginning of the process, so either 1 the…

@meteora3255: Yeah, sorry for late reply. You are absolutely right that Activision CLAIMED they spent $15m, because that's how much money was spent by Viv/Univ prior to the Activision merger. I was definitely oversimplifying to make a point. I believe that Activision decided to cut BL loose with the intention of…

@AnthonyHasGame: While true, remember that Activision inherited the game via the merger with Vivendi/Universal. They actually hadn't spent any of their own money on this, the question at the time was whether they should START spending their own money to bring it to completion, or cut it loose.

@AssassinXaero: THDJ had three major problems that the reviewers mercilessly slammed it for:

@rolsenrob: Well, I think you'll hear an increasing whine, so if you hear it, you need to either get away or turn around and shoot it.

@Boter: Joking, no. Wrong, yes. Well, at least misleading. The 320x240 is the resolution for the IR depth camera, not the VGA camera. Once they figured out that sign language was going to be impossible at 'standard' player distance from the Kinect, there was no need to get the IR also at VGA resolution.

Being that the article is misleading about the 320x240 resolution, can we get an edit so the nerdrage can get toned down a notch in the comments?

@onlysublime: Get your weak-ass facts out of here. Can't you see we need our daily dose of FUD? NERDRAGE DEFCON: 2

@Wolfen_Vic: I think the idea is to put the onus on the fans who love the maps to make them in Forge World and share them. I'm SO making Prisoner and Hang 'Em High from H:CE, then I'll try making a version of Relic from H2. *drool*

@scrapking: I agree entirely, I want 'em both.

@AnOkayLumberjack: WORD OF WARNING TO THOSE READING THIS: If you don't already know what 'Tubgirl' means, please, PLEASE do yourself a favor and DON'T DO A WEB SEARCH FOR IT. It's an image that quite simply is probably the grossest thing ever caught on camera. Once you've seen it, you can't un-see it.

@r0ckstarferlife: Nope, me too.

@keiyakins: Gamestop is having closeout sales of their RB2 gear - you can get a copy of RB2, wireless guitar, wireless drums, and wired mic for $69. Go get it!
