First, those in North America should be able to find Dead Space in stores tomorrow. I think it's worth a look, as I came away impressed, and a little scared.
Second, we're one day closer to Friday, which, coincidentally, is when my Xbox 360 comes back from ye olde repair shop. Come home soon darling, I miss you :(
Oh, and if you're one of those Diablo fans, you pretty much need to check out the mind-boggling display of Diablo 3 information that Nick has compiled in his Diablo 3: What We Know So Far preview.
New game releases of May 20-26
Killzone: Mercenary shoots onto Vita on September 10
Trion Worlds hit with more layoffs, Defiance team impacted
Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault defending Vita next week
Game & Wario was originally going to be pre-installed on Wii U



Simply put, I'm having a blast. I traveled down the left wing of Bastion Stair a few times last night and, like all of the T4 content, it's awesome. The environment, the mobs, the PQs, and the bosses are awesome and can at times be hilarious (see: centaur that rapes people in seconds using electricity). The scenarios can admittedly be just as frustrating as those in T3, but hey... no lava!!!
Now, lately, I've noticed a great deal of discontent for the game, especially with T3. I'm not going to try and convince anyone to stick it out because I've found that even if I do manage to convince someone, they still end up never playing and eventually quitting anyway. I will say this though, every single MMOG I've played, whether it be DAoC, Ragnarok, Shadowbane, LOTRO, or Wow, has it's very own "T3."
The game has been out for what, about a month now? To expect Mythic to have every single tier decked out with uber exciting scenarios and easy-going leveling is as absurd as expecting them to have every single bug fixed. Yeah, this statement is coming from a pretty big Mythic fan but as I stated above, this is true across the ENTIRE BOARD.
If you want to take a break or head back to WoW / some other MMOG, that's cool. I just wanted to toss this perspective out there to see if anyone else could relate.

The aspect of rock/paper/scissors you claimed to be alluding to does not exist in rock/paper/scissors, so how can you refer to it? You were using an analogy wrong. The analogy has a very specific and accepted interpretation which does not apply to WAR. Why you repeatedly chose to redefine things is completely beyond me.
