That's pretty cool.

I just got an email from THQ advertising Dawn of War 2 Ultramarines multiplayer pack. Now you too can own 7 slightly modified RTS character models for use in multiplayer for only 7.50. Fuck right the hell off. I wish Relic wasn't owned by such a garbage company. Company of Heroes is the best RTS of the last 5 years.
Isn't over-charging for cosmetic options the heart and soul of Warhammer 40k? I'm sure Krisken will agree with me here.
I couldn't agree with you more.
No, no, no, no.... it's overcharging for everything...
Including poor quality!

CoH is pretty good, but Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance is the best RTS of all time. OF ALL TIME.
(too bad SC2 sucked so bad)
I love Supreme Commander forged Alliance... but I like CoH more 
.
I agree with you about SC2 as well... my brother and I stopped playing the multiplayer pretty soon after we got it and went back to CoH.
Every couple months myself and a bunch of friends get together for a big Supreme Commander LAN party which always turns into an epic shitstorm... good times.

I've taught the little woman to play SC:FA. She really likes it now. I've downloaded a bunch of custom maps and we go co-op against AIX:Adaptive opponents.
Also got her to try some Dawn of War, but once you get used to SupCom's zoom functionality, no minimap will ever be enough again.
Especially poor quality! That's where the biggest profits are...

I'm looking forward to this game with great anticipation:

Oh, this is complete bullshit. Ubisoft outright lied to customers about the DRM requirements for "From Dust". In short, they explicitly said that it would only need an internet connection to start the game, but it actually needs a continuous connection to play. Oh, and it's a really lazy PC port as well. It doesn't support anti-aliasing, is artificially capped at 30fps and has other problems as well.

Fixed that for the rest of us.

EA's Origin will scan your HDD and sell your marketing info to advertisers.
Granted, this is a Fudzilla story, so it's trying way to hard to be dramatic, but it still is kind of bothersome that EA wants to catalog your hardware, software and usage statistics to sell to advertisers.

Standard boilerplate EULA does have a clause that the company does have the right to scan your equipment/software. I guess they just taking one step further and profit from it.
Electronic arts can burn in hell...

EA Games, Changes everything.
Other than the Sims, I don't play other EA games anymore
My only exception with EA is Bioware games (and it angers me to no end that EA acquired them... stupid Dragon Age II).

Jurassic Park is looking pretty decent. I was worried it would look more cartoony, coming from Telltale.
And now it's official: PSP Vita getting a Persona 4 remake called Persona 4: The Golden. It's getting new animation, at least one new character, and new voice acting. I wouldn't be surprised if the new voice acting is to match the new voice actors from the anime, as they couldn't get everyone from the game to do voice work.
So Shego, if you end up enjoying Persona 3: FES and want to try the sequel, it might be worth it to get a Vita for the new version.
They are also apparently working on a Persona fighting game from the makers of BlazBlue. It'll be in the arcades in Spring 2012 with an Xbox/Ps3 version sometime after that.

Crap. I kind of assumed that. Well, good news, Persona 4 is portable. Bad news, if I wanna play both Devil Survivor Overlocked and Persona 4 Portable, I'll need to get both 3DS and Vita.
I may actually get a PSP Vita this generation. The only series I'm going to be upset about not getting to play are Pokemon and Professor Layton, but unless Nintendo can get their act together, the 3DS looks like a dud.
I suppose I can let the library decide. Before this year, I'd play my DS a ton, but now my PSP has my primary attention between the two. Don't know what'll happen next handheld generation.
