That SONY has a track record of removing useful features and adding less useful ones such as extra copy protection. So as far as a next gen console it's sort of a beggar's choice the consumer is left with.

Is there a +1 Troll mod?

you're 80 years old and infirm? because in my town, which is full of hills and has no sidewalks, I can walk 2 miles in 30 minutes, and I'm not young.

citation?? Because I can't easily find any evidence that it's true. Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_shows_in_the_United_States is obviously not the final word on this but seems to conradict you.

If there were a way to make it ad supported. A lot of android developers and minecraft modders seem to use ad supported lockers, which are a pain and way less reliable than a torrent.

Agreed! I always use bit torrent when I buy a humble bundle.

Most older programs seem to work really well with wine.

But companies should have to pay a $50,000 annual fee for each one they obtain.

You know you want to.

Is it going to have a long story ark over several seasons with a definite beginning, middle and end like B5 did?

I never bought an x-box-- went with the PS3 instead. Sony does not exactly have a great track record when it comes to being friendly to their customers. I'd provide links to old slashdot articles highlighting this, but there are really too many to choose just a few.

With Microsoft pulling this kind of crap, there aren't too many choices if I want a next-generation console..

That might make for a good "Ask Slashdot".

I'm guessing since it made it into the TSA hall of shame, it didn't work out too well.

But if this evidence had been made public, even after the election, it might have pressured Nixon to pursue peace rather than escalation in Vietnam.

The play offline mode is only to continue your online campaign. It doesn't allow for guest campaigns.

That "offline" mode is different from being able to play as guest. It allows one to play one's online campaign while offline.

Parent is both informative, and uninformative at the same time. AT RELEASE, this was true. And IMHO, Blizzard struck a great balance between protecting their rights and allowing people who paid (myself included) to enjoy the game.

Unfortunately IT MOST CERTAINLY DOES NOT CONTINUE TO BEHAVE THIS WAY.

I'm annoyed at losing a feature of the game that I came to rely on. I played the campaign, and my son played as guest, and things worked out. But what really made me angry is how Blizzard handled the change. When I asked customer support what happened to the option to play as guest, They told me at first that it was still there. Then they told me "reboot your computer and it should show up". Since I was using wine, that was an easy test. Then they told me that if my son created a battle.net account of his own, I could allow him to play as guest. Then they said that all the "play as guest" content was now free. Then, on the 10th email they kind of sort of admitted that there was no more "play as guest". At no time did they answer my questions as to why it was gone or if it would ever come back.
