The cheerleaders on this thread are kind of ridiculous. Grow up boys?

@Mister Jack Has a Mancrush on Sam Fisher: Yes let's make sure other people's lives are ruined so we can not have less fun in a video game. Please.

@Adhominem: Actually I doubt he will have problems finding a job.

What's worse is that for some of the european versions, they cut the children from the game — except what they actually did was just removed the graphics files, so the children were running around on screen, invisible, picking your pockets (invisibly!) and even getting accidentally shot by stray bullets, by which…

@MichaelPalin: Only problem is that processing camera images uses way more CPU power than an accelerometer (which uses almost none), so accelerometers still have a fine place.

This looks badass.

@smashy7777: Totally my favorite ad from the game so far.

@midnightz: I usually watched DS9 by staying up to 1 am on a school night, so watching Quark be Quark was not exactly a worthwhile sacrifice of my sleep time :P.

@royaljester: just replace the word profit with revenue and the article is magically fixed.

Cory Doctorow wrote a sci book sort of like this, called Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. It even had the most hallowed of all gaming cliches — getting to press reset when you die. It's a pretty good book, I recommend it.

I loved DS9 because it had in-depth story arcs over multiple episodes, with really interesting backstory to them. The other STs did somewhat, but not in the same way as DS9.

@Fernando Jorge: I tend to do that in my sleep. I used to dream of those blue starcraft crystals.

@Paul_Is_Drunk: Lots of women went to see the dark knight because it was a good movie. Lots of men went to see it because it was a good movie.

@Fernando Jorge: You mean like the MPAA rating system in america? :P

FYI, the uncanny valley is just a hypothesis, and isn't actually backed by scientific research (or disproven either, to be fair).

@GrYnder: I'm tempted to load up SC and go hunting for some of those maps now...

@aronsamma: I like middle ground type of games, where you have a scene with a set end point, but how you get from A to B isn't hard-wired. String that together in a linear story and it's perfection.

wrong spot

Anyone else here really get into the custom single player RPG maps back in the day? I loved those. Any word if SC2 will ship with a Map Editor?
