@Freyar: Yeah, it's unfortunate. I've never visited the forums before but I'm assuming that it's pretty bad.

@Jer1ch0: Like I said, I don't applaud Blizzard for what they're doing, but the "uninvited access to your personal info" isn't Blizzard's fault, or Facebook's for that matter. If someone can track you down because of a name and a profile pic (which may or may not depict the actual person), you need to be more careful…

@NightMystic: Dammit! I knew I should've picked a more obscure game!

@Faux Bravo: Thanks for the info. I've never visited the WoW forums, so it seems Blizzard's proposal makes sense.

@Chewblaha: Huh, I didn't consider the reason to be that, well, petty. Hah...well, if it works, it works!

@NightMystic: You're a 22-year-old college student? I'm onto you!

@Chewblaha: My question is, what exactly does having your real name revealed achieve? How does it discourage people from being any less of a douche? Will I now be threatened when I leave my computer and venture out into the real world? I really don't see real-life violence (or the fear thereof) as a solution to…

@Helis: I hear you. When I was younger I would go by my Korean name instead of my American one, to often amusing results. These days, I like going by my initials. ;)

Just to clarify, your name, profile pic, gender and networks are always open to everyone on Facebook. Everything else you can lock down using the privacy settings. The friend requests are still kinda loose (only other option is "Friends of Friends"), but at least that offers a bit of protection against total strangers…

@Saturnine: Ha! Well, can't argue with that. That was the point, though—it was an extremely accurate portrayal of Gen Y slang. Gotta hand it to them, they really nailed it.

@Saturnine: Have you played The World Ends With You? Excellent, original game, with a superb localization and even an engaging minigame. Sadly, no news of any sequels happening.

@Kirk: As long as you're vigilant and spy-check everyone that comes your way, spies won't be having an easy time. Ask a friendly pyro to hang around and puff, and no spies will be coming anywhere near your stuff.

@MJrolla07: Would you believe witty American? ;)

@Turkeyslam: Oh, no doubt. A well-placed dispenser could prevent an unlucky player from dying to flame damage, keep demos and soldiers spamming to hold a choke, and provide precious metal to friendly engies.

@7ruthslayer: The Internet, my friend. Craigslist, eBay, Amazon, take your pick!

@mattcrews: Pricing depends on where you find it. It's been out for awhile now—you can find it dirt cheap if you know where to look. Also, part of the appeal of portable systems is, well, their portability. You can't take your Wii on an airplane or a road trip.

@mrjoeyyaya: The problem I see with using a PSP as an mp3 player is that it's not as portable as, say, an iPod. Let's face it, you don't want to go jogging with a PSP in your hand or strapped to your arm. It also doesn't fit very comfortably into your pocket unless you're a big dude with big pants.

Hell yeah, Advance Wars on the recommended games list. I prefer Days of Ruin over Dual Strike, but only slighty—both are great purchases. I do think Phoenix Wright should get a mention somewhere, but they were originally GBA games.

Cheers Kotaku! You're the dog's bollocks!

@Chow_Mein: Upgrading the engie's buildings is kind of a big deal, considering the significant role they play on a team and how they've remained the same for years. Still, I think at the very least they're up for at least one or two updates. The key is to keep the game balanced while doing so.
