"According to a reliable source of mine, the former President and COO of Electronic Arts John Riccitiello has just put in a bid to buy Bioware as well as Pandemic Studios for $100 million US each.
Again, this is just a rumor, and stays that way until some sort of official statement is made.
You heard it here, first."

apparently, while everyone was being dazed by the WoW expansion stuff, blizzard axed the gamecube version of starcraft: ghost
i doubt any of us really cared, but it's kinda annoying since they were consistent before about it coming out on all 3 consoles.

GOOD GOD THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE SHACKHYPE! (And yes, blah blah, there has been some, and blah blah blah, but yeah.)
Holy crap.
I don't give a shit about WW2. Don't like WW2 movies. I didn't like MOHAA. COD bored the crap out of me more than MOHAA did. DOD:S is pretty lame. The only WW2 game to hold my attention was Red Orchestra, and that wasn't for very long.
That said, COD2 makes me poop my pants. The fact that they finally nailed dust and smoke effects makes the entire game world feel so alive and immersive it just makes my head spin. It's just so, so, so... so... LAVISH, that I want to keep playing. Every mission I am smacked in the face with something more gorgeous and awe-inspiring than anything that came before it.
Also, shooting Nazis is fun because it reminds me of Wolfenstein 3D.

I am looking for a good data structure. I am working with patient data here. Each patient has his own set of data where each entry is compromised of a fixed list of attributes (date of visit, id-key, text, index). I want to access those entries by filtering by a variable number of these attributes (typically just the exact value I am looking for, like a specific date). Also, I want to be able to sort the entries.
So, this pretty much looks like a database table structure to me, only it'd be stored in RAM. Any specific C# .NET implementations that are recommended? Also, any alternative non-table structures that may be valid here?

I'm playing through it for the first time and it would've been really fucking cool if I had have seen a strider for the first time in the game.
(note, I'm not even up to them yet) - silly me - I knew what 9/10'ths of the bad guys looked like before even playing it :(

BATTLEZONE (1 and 2):
any fans? oh my god :( Where is Battlezone 3. Definitely an awesome, awesome game. RTS/FPS, a pioneer in it's era. The game was so terribly good too, why didn't it sell? :(
Building bases while inside your own vehicle, or on foot.. ordering troops and vehicles you've built to do stuff, while you're leading the pack or right amongst them! or hopping out of your vehicle when it gets low on armor just to hop into another one that you have built.
had a good feel of zero gravity as well, when on foot outside of your vehicle, hopping around... sniping too!...ahhh.. k flashback over, time to play some more modern shit that i am ungrateful for!

then I will be happy a lot! So thanks in advance after the fact
I got it at Frys, was probably cheaper at Wal mart but I am happy to pay the few extra $ to NOT shop at Wal Mart (Wal-Mart™: Proudly destroying the American economy before the Chinese can®")
Also, while I was there I looked at games because that's what you do when you are a gamer and I realized that except for Q4 and F.E.A.R., which I will have to buy after a vidcard upgrade, I HAVE EVERY GAME I WANT. Available for sale ones, anyway. And wtf at Fry's for seemingly not carrying Total Overdose in either of their stores that I looked in?
XOXOX,
