Very helpful article. Only thing I wonder is for someone with very varied musical tastes like myself I suppose this set up is more appropriate for rock and hip hop and the like? Bass is important in classical and jazz music as well just not as strong? Are there any guidelines here?

Well side, I agree with that remark. I wonder if one should bring up the "pretty blond murder victim" (forget the exact name) syndrome the US press is particularly prone to.

Wow, memories of 1994, when I was doing my MA in history at Carleton University in Ottawa and I got my hands on a copy of Doom, the full version.

I used to love Fighting Steel but that game dates from 1999 and I can't play it anymore.

Sorry for the late response, and I am also sorry if my longish post gave the impression that Italian cuisine is all about pasta, pizza and tiramisu (sigh).

Thank you sir!!

Do post it! I actually love greens myself.

Easily one of the most informative posts I've read on Kotaku. I will copy the url and point people to it when I explain why freemium gaming sucks!
