Yeah, like the other guy said, forever (well, unless you do something to get your account banned I guess). These count as purchased products (granted purchased for $0.00, but still purchased).

Free forever actually, regardless if your subscription ends.

Big deal. I bet a wrestler who prefers black olives instead of pepperoni on his pizza will be debuting, too. Everyone prefers what they prefer. Fred (Darren Young), is right. It just shouldn't be a big deal, and I'm hoping the world will finally realize that your sexual preference shouldn't really be a big deal.…

You're lucky compared to me. The only beta I was ever invited to was the new launcher app...

I know how you feel, I'd literally almost do anything for a Wildstar beta invite.

Could be worse, I got my StarCraft II beta invite the weekend before they closed beta. Didn't even bother installing it.

Me neither! It's by the creators of Magic: The Gathering, which should mean A LOT to anyone who likes card games.

Solforge is pretty good too, it's in open beta now. It's free, and the card art is pretty great. The core mechanic is card transformation. It's pretty rad.

if I don't get in, this'll be the 6th Blizzard beta I never get into. Why must they hate me so? :(

The franchise, IMO, is one of the honest-to-god gems of the video game medium. As always, I suggest you check out the older games, which I believe are currently on sale on Steam (they're also available on GOG).

I am with you on this one, its strange and i dont like it.

It's not the ads that bother me, it's that this layout goes against almost all normal convention for web design.

Go look at joystiq, kotaku seems to almost mimic that layout, stories on the left and adds/links on the right. It's much easier to read and easier on the eyes.

Why would you not be using an ad-blocker if you get so mad about seeing ads?

Oh man. The whole "I should go" sequence. "Is that really what I sound like?"

Citadel is basically the least serious Mass Effect will ever get.

They even make fun of Mark Meer's voice over performance. They actually go there.

Yeah! The only problem I seem to have with Saint's Row IV based on Tina's review is that you get superpowers from the get-go. I really liked Saint's Row 3rd's system to where you had to slowly but surely start gathering your influence. You really note a huge power difference. At the start, I couldn't even survive gang…

The robot giving a bj just killed me.

it still exists, you can play it
