Risk: Black Ops is beautiful and I promise to care for it, always.

@Rentaro I wonder if it might be people preordering it to lock in the $150 price, with the fear it may go higher.

Can someone clue me in to the big fuss over Mad Men? After hearing it hyped up, I buckled down to watch the first four episodes and I don't get it. It's rather dull - I expected a show about a bunch of ad guys to have some wittier, snappier dialogue.

Excuse me if I sound ignorant, but video codecs always confuse me. What does this mean for DivX/XviD support? Confirmed no?

Wow, that Iron Man "strategy" video is awful. The narrator talks about several moves, but the video doesn't actually display them. Then for an added bonus, it's flat out wrong when it says that Iron Man only has the one hyper combo, the Proton Cannon. Iron Man also has the deluge of rockets that shoot straight up and rain pain on his rival's head. I can't now recall the name of it, but it was quarter circle down-back + KK.

So just to get this straight:

First there was news that a bunch of uptight Christian zealots were protesting a video game, so a lot of folks here mocked and insulted them.

Now it turns out that the protest was entirely fake and capitalized on negative stereotypes of Christians, who are currently expressing indignation at being unfairly characterized that way. And in fact some of those Christians run a website where they talk about how much they actually like games like Dante's Inferno and God of War. And a lot of folks here are mocking and insulting them.

At least you guys are consistent.

According to the Press Release:
"The 2011 BCS schedule will mark the first time BCS bowls will be featured on cable television..." meaning on ESPN, and not ABC. If you had hit the "Read" link, you would have seen that.

Versus (1080i) has World Extreme Cagefighting Brown vs. Faber II at 9 p.m.

It's sweeps week and this is the fourth time Obama has commandeered the airwaves, so Fox exercised its prerogative to take a pass on broadcasting the press conference. These Presidential PR sessions cost the networks ad revenue and Obama has had a habit of going on TV without an urgent significant event underway (IE invading a country; 100 days is a Hallmark holiday of politics).

Any comment.
