...and the battle for gender-inclusive gaming just got set back about 10 years.

Some people have very short attention spans.

It could be an iPhone game (which would hardly be BIG news), but it's also very possibly MGS4 on the 360, which many seems very quick to denounce.

Gamers have freakishly short attention spans at times.

I'll take "gay" over testosterone challenged meatheads in gritty metal armour any day.

"AHAHAHAHAAA HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!


Oh god that's the funniest thing I've read all week next to "the Wii isn't powerful enough to show video with real people in it"."

Wow, Obnoxious fanboy alert.

He's talking about the quality of the video, which would obviously be limited by the capacity of the disc and the amount of data that can be streamed from it at any one time.

So I'm afraid to inform you, but the original poster is probably right. The Wii likely couldn't play a video file that long at that high a quality; it would likely be reduced in quality / compressed somewhat.

First decent hunter set, ever.

I find this a good thing, seeing as my main is a hunter anyway.

The designs on all of these are quite original and unique; it's a good mix between the more traditional stylings of vanilla Azeroth and the more obscure and out-there aspects of Northrend, without falling into the sci-fi territory that consumed TBC.

Top marks for rogue set especially. Tres cool.

"The people of China aren't free to "bring it up". They aren't free to protest their own government. They aren't free to do anything other than the few things the government allows.

That's why some of us "bash" the chinese government every chance we get. They're a repressive, despotic regime..."

A bit like the American government then, yeah?

Surely, what the hell is wrong with you people? You can't put your petty xenophobia behind you for two minutes just to pay your respects to the dead?

How quickly you people forget the likes of Hurricane Katrina. And yet you mock the dead purely because they're not from your country of birth.

My best wishes go out to people affected by this disaster, especially the families and people dealing with their loss. It's good to see the staff of WoW Insider acknowledging this disaster, and you've got the respect and admiration of those of us here with half a heart (not many, apparently) for it.

Considering how much genuine WOW fantasy lore they're actually putting into this expansion, surely they have a little bit of humorous fun with this DETHA group?

It's clearly meant to be a cute reference, not something that's meant to be taken entirely seriously.

Sounds way too over-powered, to be honest.

Personally, I always say it as more of an "unspoken" law than anything official. There may not be any official laws against it, but it's not something that conservative people would want to see.

It's all about the political correctness, right?

"finishing kara in one night is worth noting? wow, welcome to 6 months ago"

Jackasses who have to flaunt their own achievements by undermining others people's ones. Welcome to the last 3 years of WoW. Sadly.
