    First UbiSoft, now Blizzard

    You're not buying the game. You're buying media (in some cases) and a license to USE the software - nothing more. A better analogy would be leasing something, as that's effectively what you're doing - it's just typical a one-time fee for a perpetual license. Even the perpetuity bit differs...

    Things that God did not Create

    L2TransitiveLaw. This statement demonstrates a very naive understanding of physics. So let's throw out "logic" as being an argument here... Fixt. Spoken as someone who must discard what's written in the Bible to make their own lives more convenient. Again...you show a very poor...

    New Personal Undertaking

    yeah, i think that's one of the biggest killers of improvement when people try to get back in shape. if all you're doing is dieting you'll see the scale drop fairly fast at first, but if you're doing it the way you're supposed to by properly fueling yourself along with excercise there's...

    New Personal Undertaking

    Just took a peek at your blog and this. Personally, I'd focus less on weight and more on measurements, e.g. are your biceps getting bigger, your waist smaller, etc... those are generally faster indicators of muscle gain / fat loss than weight. Get a measuring tape and some calipers - I suspect...

    The Lich King must fall to Redeemed

    Hmm...so because people are better and can follow directions and not die in fires, that makes the game control them? The most we've raided is 3 nights a week - now two. My prior guild - 2 nights. Competency is the problem - not the "we're not a raid guild" mentality. The bar is set so low...

    Food Revolution

    I'm not sure how many people have watched this show, but it's truly frightening what's going on in the public school system with regards to nutrition. I just sort of shook my head one night when they called a potato a veg. Seriously. So instead of being able to serve a great stir fry full of veg...

    Acti-Blizz restructuring, assigns new executive to Blizzard

    You're neglecting that those employees may care for the *product* that they create. Example - client I'm working at now...people have been there upwards of 10 years, but the corporate culture is downright atrocious. Why do they stay? They were proud to create something that was substantial...
