A 3d realtime with pause RPG that follows in the thematic footsteps of mad max/fallout. It might be cool...it might suck! Who knows!
Regardless, here are some free music samples from the game (under the ingame music header, of course):

A few people were complaining that the music in the trailer released for the game was lame (http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?comments=33807), and as I said it was just trailer/theme music rather than a sample of the ingame stuff.
Here is a link to the trailer (with the theme music you may or may not dig) for those that missed it, and it shows a few minutes of gameplay footage which might spark some interest in how it turns out: http://www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=5537

hoooo boy. Durability and the Honor system introduced.
stay tuned, this is going to get worse before it gets better.
Blizzard openly challenged on this one, too, ASIDE from me. Eno, a lead, said something to the effect of "why would we remove it after 4 hours of testing, we worked weeks on it"
YAAAAAAA

guy gets the new time ward HD-DVR and finds out that it is basically a POS. Slashdot links his comments to there front page and interesting(not really suprised here) comments start to happen.
Wow! By 9pm there were over 24,000 visitors from slashdot. Impressive, since we usually only have about 4,000 readers each day. But, here's the interesting part. About 50 readers left very, very detailed comments. Some positive, some negative, some in agreement, some not. Overwhelmingly, the comments were written in ways that no one in their right mind would ever speak out loud. Many were rude, pedantic, assumptive, self-proclaimed experts and, for the most part, the more expert they said they were, the less accurately they read the story.]
There is a very interesting sociology lesson here. Strange as it may seem, the most vocal, most self-assured, and, in fact, the nastiest comments were all left by nameless people without valid email addresses. Why would people feel the need to express their views so strongly (and in many cases wrongly) and remain anonymous? More importantly, why would anyone take the time to write a 500 word response to something that didn't need a response? I wasn't asking for advice and, as a practical matter, I didn't include enough technical info for anyone to offer an informed opinion.]/

I already had the R1 set but none of my relatives or coworkers will watch DVDs without Chinese subtitles... Anyway. Other than the nicer clear plastic cases that allow see through art (the DVD cover insert is double sided) the set is pretty much the same.
The spine of the inner cardboard box (the one that holds three plastic cases) doesn't have the word W I D E S C R E E N at the top. Neither do the individual DVD covers. Widescreen is the only version they put out >:)
DVD cover art looks cleaner and more vibrant, but this might be the lack of the jarring silver WIDESCREEN bar creating more contrast in the actual cover.
Another apparent difference was the specsheet. The R1 comes with a specsheet stuck on the inner case with solid/removable glue, much like the one on the Indiana Jones boxset. R3's specsheet is much more elegant. It's inserted at the edges between the inner and outer box, to the same overall effect.
Finally, the hubs on the clear DVD cases are not shitty like I was expecting. They lock the discs a bit more than the Amarays, just enough so they don't spin widly in place, but loose enough so that you can spin them if you want. Like an Amaray, removing and replacing the discs is dead easy and doesn't add much stress to the discs themselves.
