Brain vomit coalesced into an article. Its not like Diablo 3 is the only game that has a "real-world economy", or even the biggest. Its simply in the news at the moment and anyone can feel free to write their minds comfortable in the fact that what they write is probably going to be read, like a Mass Effect 3 ending…

Agreed. Ive never played Arma 2 and likely never will, but I absolutely love CHKilroy and Beagle's videos of their playtime with their buddies. They are usually both very funny and full of spectacular feats of cooperation.

I tried to find the whole opening for comparison with little luck, but I did find at least the start of it. For those who have not seen Blade Runner, this may help at least a little.

Nice work. Simple and effective.

That was certainly impressive, if only for the amount of work that went into it. I like that scenes can be as washed out and blurry as you imagine watercolor to be, but then the finest details show through such as Harrison Ford's smirk or the advertisement on the floating billboard.

Wow nice work.

Very nice. This week's contest is definitely a good one.

Is that the perfect amount of kids, or are we one short? I can't remember.

Nice one. Such a lovely place with such a lovely monster.

I like to send the picture of the guy holding the heart up as a valentines card. This is great work.

I have no idea what is going on, but you get points for zaniness.

I can't tell if his body was ready or not. +1

Obviously I was talking about a handful if you have tiny carnie hands.

Hats are purely cosmetic, with the exception of a small handful that Valve experimented with giving bonuses to. The reaction to that was negative, so they didn't do that again and made them available to everyone (not to just to people ponying up cash).

I was and still am very upset about the changes to the custom game hosting system in SC2. So much so that I told myself I would not purchase the expansion. The latest news I heard was that they planned to "fix it" with the expansion, but I find that irritating when the feedback was rolling in as early as the SC2…

I agree. Violence is an extremely powerful tool but I wish it were used better.

I feel there are a lot I missed this week, but I did see this one from Barriecuda:

The link is dead. We now ask at this time that all passengers please place their tinfoil hats upon their heads. You can find your hat inside the overhead compartment.

Looks to me just like something that has reached a point where your publisher has more influence over the game than before, and demanded more design to appeal to whatever is popular.

Get back to us if you suddenly run into a lot of people looking for lost family members, or in one case - a truck.
