Morning Discussion
by Xav de Matos, Feb 10, 2011 5:00am PSTLast night, one of the best shows on television ended. Five years after continuing the story already made into a film inspired by the novel from author H. G. Bissinger, Friday Night Lights has run its final play.
It's odd though; for some, the season hasn't even started. Friday Night Lights first runs on Direct TV and then jumps to a major network--in this case, NBC.
On NBC, Friday Night Lights begins its final season on April 15. If you haven't seen the series, I recommend it. It really is something special, even if you don't like football.
Retribution beta should be unlocked for everyone that owns ANY DoW game on their steam list. So download it and join us for some fun MP games. The unofficial shackbattle day is Saturday morning starting 9am EST going right through the day. Join TS to organise a game (see profile for TS details).
An interesting interview with Relic's Jeff Lydell on why they used GFWL + Steam in the first set of DoW2 games and why they have now dropped GWFL:
“The biggest reason was making people log in to two different services to play the game was never something we were happy with, but that started with Live. At the time when we were making the decision of which online service to use Steamworks wasn’t announced, and then when they did announce, they didn’t include the type of network components that we needed, and we would have had to build a whole lot more, whereas Live had that out of the box.â€
