Pre-ordered from Woolies two weeks ago after missing out on the Amazon 9am thing.
Arrived at 8am today, in a cardboard box 3x bigger than the actual Wii box. I didn't think the controls would be as... "indepth" I suppose, but was quite suprised at how responsive and clever it is. Loving the purchase, hope GAME have some copies of Twilight Princess in tomorrow >_
Why should you be able to get items on par with people that spend hours just organising the raid, then actually raiding, then spending 100's of gold on repairs while learning new encounters, equalling LOTS of hours spent not even in an instance?
It's a MMORPG. Massive Multiplayer. If you want to solo, there are MUCH better games for you to do it in. Soloing in WoW is crap. Grab a friend to repgrind, goes by tons quicker.
It's all changing in TBC though. You want high end items? Look at the leaked stuff. Some of the level 62 blue quest rewards are better than tier 1.
Hope it doesn't kill off GameFAQs. GameFAQs has the best community on the internet (imo), and the amount of time the FAQers put into creating their guides...will be a real shame if it does kill GameFAQs.
Meh, I still think GameFAQs will be more popular, but the fact that anybody can contribute to the guide...I don't like that, tbh. Most guides get written on sense of accomplishment. Adding a sentence or too is quick, but what do people get out of it?

Dreamcast at TGS: a relic from the past
Sep 23rd 2006 9:36AM (Joystiq)I love playing all my Dreamcast games... still the best console ever, imo. T'is a shame... huge shame.
Joystiq hands-on: Coded Arms Assault (PS3)

Sep 21st 2006 5:29PM (Joystiq)2K Games publishing Civilization compilation, Jade Empire PC
Sep 7th 2006 11:04PM (Joystiq)Aren't Ubisoft in charge of the PC version of RE4? Or am I way out of date? :p
Anyway, really looking forward to Jade Empire on the PC. Had it on the Xbox, found it a bit short, but PC gaming = mods (hopefully :s)
What's not to like?
Writing game FAQs: low pay, lots of work. Why do it?
Jan 26th 2006 7:36AM (Joystiq)But for some, it's also about the bloody KB count on 'FAQs :P
