@bobby.tables: Well yeah, but the entire world is in a pretty crappy situation just now. On the whole though, it's not been too bad for the last 15-20 years or so since the wall came down.

@Realmjumper: Well, no it's not the same artbook. It is an artbook but a new one. The in-game pets are nice. People still occasionally complement my panda/zergling/diablo . I suppose by now though, they are fairly rare compared to the newer ones.

Our RA was a black belt in 3 martial arts and was often seen heading out with nunchuks.

@MajesticLuuk: The last line about Germans references the fact that they have one of the most efficient and high quality manufacturing industries ever seen in the Western world. Not to mention they are known for having an effective government and bloody good public transport too.

Personally I'm more excited how well the modding community co-opts this for use on the PC. Still, a wait til the inevitable price drop is in order.

@Stereo Heathen: Because Chrome is an ageless robot, inexorably advancing us towards the coalescence.

Nah. Not unless I can have someone drive while me and a friend can stand on a raised platform cranking the handles while rapid piano music plays over the background. Preferably with the police chasing us in a similar fashion.

I still support a more radical solution. Extensive brainwashing via mass screening to convicts a lá Clockwork Orange. Or Bioshock like conditioning. "Would you kindly..."

@musiqrulez: I believe the cars in the UK are the energy efficient Smart-Cars so at least here they're trying. I could be wrong though, this is just one of those facts that dredges up from my memory.

I remember beating the Little Red Riding Hood text adventure for these when I was 6...you got a cake at the end I believe in all its ASCII glory.

@effin: Cloak and Dagger ftw.

RUSE deeply appeals to me and since my mate has declined to reopen the horrendous wounds of his Civ addiction with me ("But it'll be fine! If we do the play by email option, you can't get addicted cause you've gotta wait for me to play my turns!" "Sorry, I just can't take the risk.") I need a new strat fix that SCII,…

@Evil Tortie's Mom: R.O.A.C.H.: Agreed. Most of the W13 artifacts are just "cheerfully misguided". SCP's stuff is out to gut, kill, maim, enslave and burn you.

@leeloo: If you're expecting a serious world-shattering show, head elsewhere. If however you're a fan of weird science, strange mythology and nice little nods to pop culture, it's a fun show to watch on a Wednesday morning over your Cheerios.

@syrdax: I believe we have a few advocates of Net Neutrality in Parliament and probably a few more now the Lib Dems have a bit of representation. The coalition government is still technically quite a perilous pile when it comes to public opinion, so it's my hope as long as we make ourselves heard, it should be…

Just curious, how does this affect people in the UK? Are we going to be screwed over here as well?

Damn. We've got a huge project that's being developed entirely through Wave.

@SAThorn: I hope that you've learned your plaice when it comes to pointing out others shortcomings.

Damn, I've become so internet jaded, that I considered this might even be a troll post from the staff to elicit hilarious responses for them to laugh over...

@Aekero: Gotta wait for the local game cafe to upgrade their rigs. While SCII may run on a five year old heap, many of the cafes there are running 12+ year old dinosaurs. The minimum specs for SC and Brood War are miniscule.
