@Ashkental Try 7 years. Yes, we are old.

I always spend a lot of time carefully considering my soon to be character if I actually intend to use them. Weird concepts for a new super hero, random alt? They'll all be popped out in a short time. But the first character in a brand new game or anyone else I intend on playing will get a serious amount of attention, though it varies on the game. Regardless the avatar will be my persona in a world of millions of players in a game that I will (ideally) spend DAYS of game time playing. The interface through which I get all this is important.

City of Heroes is the unique example for me, considering that the character creator is the best damn part of the game. I'll spend HOURS creating characters or even choosing new costume for current ones.

Of course the only way to make Wow addicting is to make TCG to play when not at a computer.

Perfect for a WoW noobie like me.

I figured if we're going to be rebuilding civilization I might as well bring along a copy of Civ 5 (assuming of course that the invasion doesn't happen until next week).

The problem for me is that I just have a laptop that I use at college. Sure my desktop is always hooked online and probably wouldn't be an issue, but whenever I'm traveling or using my laptop in a mobile function, the vast majority of the time I don't have wifi access so I will either watch a movie or play a game when using it. That's no longer possible with any Ubisoft game.

Real quick. It's been a little over 2 years since you named it one of the best games of 2007 not 3 as it says in the first sentence since you gave the top 10 list for 07 in the beginning of 08 and it is currently February 10.

But when will Valve grant me my deepest wish and get Steam running on OSX. I know many games wouldn't be playable on Mac, but it's a big deal for the ones that are.

what, no Bowie?! Come on, David Bowie's take with Bing Crosby on the Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth is one of the most touching christmas songs ever (and in a genuine sense to, not the over the top 'Christmas Shoes' crap).

On what charges can he possibly be arrested? I don't understand how he could be arrested. Punished, in this ignorant society of ours, yeah, but arrested. WTF?
