You ask me as though I somehow work at Blizzard and can give you a better answer and/or fix it. :P I understand where they're coming from. The cathedral in Stormwind is a huge example of visual hackery. They've said from the sky, it looks utterly stupid, and I can understand them not wanting to allo...

There's a lot of detail that's hard to go into here as to format preference and details. If you want to read a lot of specs, Wikipedia is your friend . Here's a few thoughts -- I'm not an expert or anything, but have been reading up on and following the HD format war for probably the last 9-10 month...

Any flying mount period. Many perspective tricks and such were employed in the creation of Azeroth, and so being able to fly up and see it from a different angle would mean that everything would look all broken and screwed up. So, the 5k+ gold for the epic flyer does nothing for you back in the old ...

Well, shit. I mean, it's still rumor, but still. Odd that Warner somehow was what finally nailed the coffin shut on Blu-ray.

The scale is currently as follows: Normal Ground: 60% speed Epic Ground: 100% speed Normal Flying: 60% speed Epic Flying: 280% or 310%, varying on what you get. Generally, the 310% are only epic raid drops (like the phoenix) or special rewards (like the arena reward nether drakes) For reference, the...

I still feel confident saying effectively no cost -- at least at that point of that post -- because while there's opportunity cost, there was literally nothing else I'd wanted to purchase with said credits. That credit had been on my account for months waiting for Rock Band and a points card for DLC...

Effectively nothing. When I bought RB, I had enough trade-in credit to get a 1600 point card, and I got another 2000 for Christmas - that free ride is about to run out though, so, I dunno what I'll do. Maybe trade away BioShock or something for more credit.

I'm impressed that Harmonix has managed to keep weekly DLC coming. They promised huge with GH2, but then that kinda flopped (although I'm sure that was due to the HMX/RO split, at least in part), so to see it really shine with Rock Band makes me happy. My song count is pushing 100 now. It's great to...

As an owner of an Xbox 360 HD DVD addon, it kills me to see this change happen -- but then I realize that I don't really buy a lot of movies these days anyways. I'd prefer to rent, but I can't get any HD DVD discs locally (I do know a place with a limited Blu-ray selection but no HD DVD), so I reall...

Okay, so, there's been lots of updates, but this one today blows me away. Totally didn't see this one coming. Also, it's amusing because it proves that the points in the prior post aren't necessarily true. :) http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/pikmin.html Olimar and a bunch of Pikmin are play...

Whilst waiting for Infin to get to Quizno's for lunch, I saw this couple walk out of the little restaurant next door. They leaned into each other, kissed, and then abruptly turned and went their separate ways. No words, no other contact, no looking back at the other person, nothing. They each walked...

The leader of the band is set permanently. There's no way to make someone else the leader, and there's no way for the band to play without the leader present -- although, you can play without non-leader members of the band. Also, the character created is permanently tied to an instrument. Those are ...

If you're already playing some, really the best piece of advice I could say would be to finish a career. Try finishing a solo drums career on medium first. The difficulty curve is really quite good, and builds nicely. The last few songs in medium will start to push you into the first few songs on ha...

My Xbox 360 version came with a USB hub to hook up all of the devices. I found that since I had four USB ports (two in front, two out of the HD DVD player), I didn't need it, but it does come with it. I've contemplated digging it out anyways for convenience - could leave the vision cam hooked up all...

My dog is awesome. I uploaded a ton of pictures of him to Flickr.
