yeah, i live in scotland, and this has never NOT happened to me. every single game i've ever bought from a dedicated games retailer. had no idea it was a big deal. don't really see the point of the article if i'm honest- why should americans think they can be more fussy than the british? but then this is joystiq and kicking up a fuss is what happens here. no offence intended.
aldor vs scryer doesn't make much sense to me because people choose which side to align with based on their class. the wowwiki page more or less "if you're a (for example) dagger rogue, pick faction x. if you're a (for example) shadow priest, pick faction y." therefore an aldor vs scryer battleground will be initially interesting because of the cross-faction possibilities, but will eventually become dull as whichever faction caters more to PvP inevitably wins.
(note i'm only level 54 so i shouldn't really have an opinion on this :D)
so there really is no pre-60 content in the BC at all, other than the new starting zones? this post alone put me off purchasing the expansion for at least a few months.
today i got five stars on expert for the first time ever, on heart shaped box, and did a lap of my kitchen in celebration. unfortunately there was nobody there to witness my amazing feat, so i'm telling you guys so that at least someone gets to share in my joy. =)
to me generation x is symbolic as much as biological. GEEKS: get your hedz out of the textbooks, close wikipedia, and read some douglas coupland. THAT'S what generation x is about. wgaf what decade these people were born in; gen x is an ideology, yo.
@fish, call me a n00b if you must, and you probably must, but what's the controller you linked to there? it looks like a highly sexualised piece of black plastic and i should like to get my fingers on its sleek curves.

What games are you ashamed to say you've never played?
Feb 13th 2007 3:10PM (Joystiq)Ico
SotC
Katamari
Shenmue
and ANYTHING on the Wii. I've never even TOUCHED a Wii.
Also never played anything to do with Castlevania or Megaman but I'm not as ashamed of them, they just don't really appeal.
