I still use one when I'm feeling lazy and can't be bothered to fish my G9 out from behind the monitor. I use one at work all day long so I'm pretty handy with it. The sensitivity settings are pretty high though, akin to how I have the mouse set up so I never have any problems turning. It does sometimes feel a little clunky compared to the mouse but it's a damn site closer to the mouse than a game controller.

VM were pretty flakey for me a couple of years ago so I had decided on making a move back to BT, after jumping through all the required hoops BT called me back to say that they wouldn't be able to take me on as they couldn't guarantee any kind of service. I'm far enough away from the exchange to get something just shy of 1mb. Thankfully VM have improved a ton but just a confirmation that this does go on, at least in my case.

Still not found anything impressive but I do recall some of the worst, one was whilst on the south coast of the UK. The damn thing was essentially rubber and could easily double as a frisbee.

Seconded, running beta 4 with 1.0pre and the nightly to pull in google calendar.

I concur, although last I heard most of the Kain team had scattered a little and been sucked into churning out Tomb Raider nonsense.

Starbreeze are supposed to be working on a new Syndicate title although it remains to be seen how faithful to the original/s it will be.

Some of my guild have on occasion mused about switching faction, still under the "grass in greener" assumption that the opposing side has less asshats or are better at pvp. Be warned, the asshats are everywhere.

Doctor Who quite often refers to himself as "just The Doctor" so I would guess the option refers to him, and it better had as that's the one I pressed.

As one of the six people who enjoyed Thief 3, I for one welcome our new, numb3r subst1tut10n 0v3rl0rd5.
