Burn out Paradise, is the poster boy for free Downloadable Content (which is all that time you're spending updating the game).

After the game came out, it seemed like every other month I was hearing about some new free DLC. Including a few very significant updates like the Bikes pack.

For nearly the first year all DLC was given away for free. Yes, eventually they started offering paid for DLC but they have given away as much, if not more, and definately more than most any other company.

Is a story about the white guy with the gun in question.

The solution I've found to play with friends is to use the Public Test realms when they are up.

Now, obviously this isn't a perfect solution.

1. It only works when the PTR is up.
2. You have to co-ordinate ahead of time with all of your friends to do it.
3. You don't get to transfer anything back to your main.
4. Still doesn't help if you and your friends play different factions.

> Also, doors should be always pulled when you go in and pushed when you go out.

Depends where you live.

If you live in climates that have heavy snowfall, and your door only opens out, you're probably going to get locked in on occasion.

Hopefully now that actual citizens of East Texas are being targeted, the citizens will start to vote these types of judges out of office.

50 million sold with software sales of 200 million is hardly a failure

Not that I think this world would be very easy to make into a fun video game,

But I hope that if they actually do put the game out, that they pull off getting you truly attached to your character and then somewhere in the middle of the story they unexpectadly kill your character, and make you take up playing a different character. Maybe even the one that killed you.

There's already some great advice about why or why not to get your Master degree now.

However, the people that are suggesting that this is a poor market to get your first job are wrong.

First off, hiring is not down that much (and in many instances it is up)

And I speak from experience, I finished school in early 2002, during the previous IT downturn.

You might not get the same starting wage as someone did 1 or 2 years ago, and you might need to relocate, but when the market takes off again, you will be much better positioned to get a better job (either in an area you care about more, or something just for more money), if you have 2 or 3 years of experience, vs. having a Masters Degree.

My suggestion is, regardless of whether you decide to get a Master's degree, get an internship or a Co-op over the summer. Especially if you decide not to get your Masters. Even that 1 summer of experience will help to differentiate yourself from any other graduates that have no experience.
