@surft: I smell class action. Upon settlement, you can get your $5 back by filling out a 27/b form, and sending it with a proof of purchase with $5 to:

@Seraphic Star: Bea Arthur made her do it.

@Chester Coat Sleaves: I couldn't comment on the quality of the game, because I've never played it. EA is doing the same thing for online play though?

My Mom and Dad have been diligently playing New Super Mario Bros. since Christmas. My Mom is 54 and my Dad 60.

Whether it's with a censored version or a XXX version with massive titties everywhere, I'm going to get my ass handed to me in Starcraft 2 by some Korean dude.

Damn it! I only just got accepted into the beta this past weekend! I NEED MORE TIME!

If you can look past the craziness of Judge Judy, there's a lot of very sensible life-lessons in her show.

@Michael Dukakis:

@softsmyth: Well it is a bit cumbersome, but for the most part I have no trouble remembering user names and passwords. I only need to refer to the spreadsheet once in a blue moon.

@websyndicate: It's not just a spreadsheet though. There's a lot of data inside of it, and there's an actual purpose to the spreadsheet as well. So knowing the usernames and passwords is not an easy thing to figure out.

Lacking the necessary soldering skills, I opted just to buy a usb NES controller. It's perfect. I love it, and plan to get a SNES controller at some point.

Soooo, I assume this is a warm-up to MechWarrior 5?

Meanwhile, in future news:

Rad sums it up quite nicely.

@AngryGazebo: Well there's selling out, and there's taking advantage of a perfectly viable and relevant advertising revenue source. Besides, it's television. They RUN on advertisement. There is no selling out on television, because it's ALL sales.

@Hatberg: That's a pretty good example too come to thnk of it, but no, I am definately thinking of Superbad. It's a very short scene where the characters are getting ready for the day. The skinny kid was playing something.

@Walking-Eye: Good point about copyright, but on the same coin, it's a potentially easy way to bring in some product placement dollars.

@cru3lsho3s: Really? Sorry, I don't watch or care about baseball. I suppose if actors should avoid acting video-game playing, I should avoid baseball analogies.
