I'm trying to "rescue" my live account.
I made a brand new passport.net account, signed in with my old old gamertag and it said "hey that's in use, is this actually you? wanna recover it" so I put in the old CC# the full name, phone number and postcode
Doesn't work - try all combinations of stuff - doesn't work.
Meh!

Man, that movie scared the piss outta us kids back in '83, and it's depiction of the military aspect is still quite good. Many people didn't understand the whole EMP aspect of the first detonation overhead, which would be bad enough. Then it goes all Missile Command.
WarGames and a British nuke movie called Threads also came out that year...how about those Cold War days growing up, huh? Good times.

tldr - stop using antibacterial soaps, wipes, etc. it's potentially contributing to the creation of stronger and more resistant supergerms that will fuck us all up in the long run.

Been tempted to try it out, but would be pointless unless every game that is working on xp doesn't work on vista too.
On a similar topic i'd want to pay and support any company that made some serious backwards compatibility happen with past games in general.
Sound, gfx, networking etc. all working. Imagine how cool that would be!
But yea, probably not going to happen - unless it got support from game developers / and microsoft too probably. :/
Just seems like a huge waste not being able to run all the great games of the past. Makes no sense moving forward all the time, if forgetting all the old games in the progress.

"Ruckus is now FREE to all students nationwide!
Tell all of your friends how ANY student with a .edu email can get unlimited music downloads. Use our simple email and Facebook tool to let your peeps know.
www.ruckus.com/invite"
The big advantage is that it's free, but being a subscription based service, all your music is junk the minute you uninstall the player or the company goes tits-up (this seems likely, I have to say). The other big downside is that you have to pay to make play nice with any any portable music device (it'll never work with ipods). However, setting all that aside, it's free music. It doesn't install any spyware (far as I can tell), they don't spam you, and it's not a scam (their music selection is quite decent for contemporary stuff). Hope somebody finds this useful.

rogers randomly upgraded my Extreme account from 6mbit/800kbit to 10mbit/1mbit!
no notice, nothing, my dad told me when I got home from work. I checked on DSLreports forums and there is a thread about it, but it seems all speculation, but it's TRUE!

Some of my thoughts, spoilers in here, only read more if you saw it:
I really didn't suspect the ending where it turns out almost everything was a trick and she never died. Sure it was easy enough to just not drop and hints at all that this was going on, but it was pleasant that it didn't just end with him leaving and mysteriously never coming back.

The sensible side of my brain is telling me it's too early to switch but the "I'm not a struggling college kid anymore" side is saying to just pick it up and futz around with it on a spare computer.

Those games were the shit. Honestly. I still play them every couple of months just because they're awesome.
Were there any other decent flight sims that captured that "feel"? TFX and Falcon 3.0 didn't do it for me :(

I liked it, but it was tough getting used to it after playing WoW and EQ2 so much. It's definitely a lot slower-paced in both general movement and combat, but it has a nice style that I think will go places in the next few months. The scenery is beautiful, and the viewable distance is crazy. I think the player models need some work though; the skins are really nice, but they move like robots.
I'm liking the Monk and the Bard (the only two I played), but I'm sure I'll start ten different classes before settling on one to go all the way with.
As for bugs ... sure, it had some, but it was easy to report them in-game. I didn't have one crash, to my pleasant surprise. In fact, the only bugs I ran into were cosmetic (but I'm sure there were a lot more).
I'll be picking up the retail copy this afternoon. I can't wait to see the manual. It will probably be something like this:
Introduction ... Pages 1 - 2
General Gameplay ... Pages 3 - 7
Crafting ... Pages 8 - 411
I never got to play WoW in office. :( I feel like I missed out. Anything else I should have done or still can do?
