Try Monday Night Combat. It's an awesome game that's a cross between a tower defense game and a 3rd person shooting game. There are classes VERY similar to Team Fortress 2, all of which are useful, and it has a great developer supporting it. It's a ton of fun.

Did AOL ever have even close to 500 million users, much less worldwide? If facebook ever dies, it'll be a slow and drawn out process.

Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA is delicious at 18%. Flying Dog Double Dog double IPA is fantastically hoppy at 11.5% if you want something weaker. Stone Brewery's Double Bastard (amazing brewery) is a fantastic American Strong Ale at 10.5%. 120 minute: http://www.dogfish.com/brews-spirits/the-brews/occassional-rarities/120-minute-ipa.htm Double Dog: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/68/35754 Double Bastard: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/147/1056

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I gather that you need to load the netflix disc every time you want to stream stream something?

On my 360 (and I assume on PS3s as well), netflix streaming is built into the software of the device: I can play a game off of a disc until my wife gets home, then switch over to netflix and watch some tv with a few button clicks.

If you have to get up and fumble with discs every time you want to switch tasks, this is a big Fail for the Wii in terms of convenience. Why not a WiiWare application?

PS3 streaming also requires a disc. I heard it has something to do with xbox 360 exclusivity agreements, but I could be wrong.
