@DJ_Skrull: True enough, I'd heard of that from people in-game but the farming required didn't seem to be worth it, imho. Further, the scant chance of someone coming along, blowing you up, and taking your sub (yes, I know you have to be pretty dense to carry it on you, but the possibility exists) is something that…

@bakudannar: Firstly, Blizzard is in a situation where they don't "have" to do anything. They could literally coast on WoW expansions for the forseeable future. Hell, EQ1 makes a profit and it has nowhere NEAR the playerbase that WoW has. (under 500,000).

@Driden: Um.

@the_DECk: [UPDATE]: If you can say it out loud, it's a real word.

@blurayforever143: I'm almost positive that this is the first time I've heard anyone call X-Men a "thinking man's comic"...

I actually wouldn't mind controlling the New Mutants. or ALL of X-Force, instead of just Cable T. Posterboy. or ALL of the Brotherhood, instead of just Magneto T. Posterboy (strangely, no relation.)

@Fanatic03: No, I think it should be "the series does very well overseas".

Here's how you fix Sonic.

I'm excited. I liked EVE when I tried it - I couldn't see paying the monthly for it when there are so many Free2Play MMOs though. But of all the pay to play MMOs, EVE is the one that most reminds me of a childhood spent with my nose in Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Ray Bradbury books. It's certainly the only one…

@Full_Circle: Also cross faction. I can jump on my Ally character and buy stuff, and talk to my Horde friends to let them know when I put it on the neutral AH on the cheap.

Why couldn't they just have both?

I would buy it based on nostalgia alone.

Am I the only person on Kotaku that doesn't really care about this?

@grumpyguru: Didn't they say they just wanted ideas and THEY were going to make the wallpaper?

@Clixx13: I think that's the point they're trying to make.

@Xaxir: Yeah, that's kindof a murky point. They wouldn't sell the online component separate from the game not because it's un-innovate, but because it's just that - a component. It wasn't designed to be a stand alone game, just like the single player 'component' wasn't designed to be a stand alone product either.

I don't get this letter...offering just the online component of Black Ops accomplishes what, exactly?

Moving Pictures®: Still Magic After All These Years™!

The only time this starts to fall flat is when you have very high-level photoshoppers working from high-quality images, such as is the case with most magazine covers. They have access to multiple images, shot in the same lighting, at super high quality. Then again, they have a whole different agenda with their…

@Vesta: Why does it feel like Firefox does this also? I'm on Safari at the moment (*inappropirate giggle*) so I can't check, but I seem to remember Firefox having that functionality.
