Moby Dick by Led Zeppelin, especially the awesome drum solo by Mr. John Bonham.

I've been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding.

Just because you don't see an ability on the talent tree, doesn't mean you lose it. I'm a protection / retribution pally, I get Exorcism as an ability without having to choose it in the Holy talent tree. I can enhance Exorcism in my retribution tree. There are several talent tree choices that enhance, not grant, abilities which we learn. I am not sure why you are complaining about something that isn't even in beta testing yet. You, nor does anyone else, know how this will operate once released.

How do you know specific abilities will be stripped away? From this and other blue posts (sorry can't remember specific posts) it sounds as if the no-brainer choices will be taken away from you to choose, not taken away completely, so you still get new abilities at levels. "Instead of having you click raging blow, we'll just give it to you..." You are going to choose the talent anyways, so why make you spend a choice on it?

I get a week off of work with time to play and I get this.

"...with Microsoft, unsurprisingly, taking a little bit off the top"

Of course they are going to take a portion of proceeds, and they hav every right to, Ross. MS is providing the infastructure and large install base to provide other's games. It would almost be absurd not to take a cut. Just because they are a large corporation that makes money doesn't make them evil; there are many other things that makes them evil, like Vista.

Really? Is it really anti Sony to point out how misinformed the author of the original article is? Just because someone makes a point you don't like / agree with, doesn't mean they are anti Sony. I just thought it was humorous how every blog I read presented the story in a way that poked fun at the author and , to a lesser degree, the son. Then I read this site's post on it, and there was nary a mention of the humor.

For the record, I highly enjoy my PS3. Not enough to get rid of the 360, but you can't beat the price for a BRD player.

I own both systems, and I like both equally well. Wow PS3FB, way to spin a story and not mention the points that all of your sister sites and other gaming sites mentioned. Here is the link to the Joystiq article:

umm, something.

I love free.
