Not really, the Union has long surpassed the stage of simply being an international organization. It's a supranational organization and, though some may not like the term, a confederacy.

2008 was an awesome year as far as video games go. CoD:WaW, GTA IV, Left 4 Dead, GoW 2, LBP,...

I highly doubt people actually buy games just because they already have live. You buy live for your games, not the other way around.

Also, how did they define online-capable game? And does this statistic really mean anything? I mean, they should've checked how many games/console are bought specifically for their online capabilty. E.g. Demon's Souls: I don't think anyone bought it for its limited online capability (invading someone else's world/hints), but it would still count in this statistic, making it almost as lame as the previous core v. digital gamer dichotomy.

I still don't get the core mechanic. Is it just an elaborate hot seat or can people pillage your city while you're asleep?

Just so you guys know, Bethesda has since stated that "[t]he map is a high-grade material that has a feel similar to burlap, and will be available in North America and Europe. There will be a regular paper map included in all copies of the game, but if you want to get the premium map, we recommend pre-ordering the game."

So maps for everyone, and cloth maps with preorders. Sounds like a good deal. Luckily I already preordered my copy, cause let me tell you this: the ladies sure do like a man with a cloth map!

I'd do it, but the parasites say no! Lego must be regulated, it must be controlled, and finally, surrendered!

So I just keep playing games instead.

Miracle Hwip? Man, I love me some Miracle Hwip. Can't have pie without Miracle Hwip.

I like how the unrealistic one is the only one to actually come true :D

I think it's pretty obvious what they're up to. Step 6 of their plan for world domination (bloody coup on parent company) has been completed, so now they're moving on to step 7: "Take over World. Shoot enemies into sun with giant slingshot."

I for one welcome our new Bungie overlords!

To paraphrase the Simpsons: Yeah!
