I'll enjoy both games but obiously will be spending much more time on COD:BO :)

Theirs a ton of depth to the game that Bad Company 2 just doesn't have in areas like customization, etc, plus Black Ops forgoes Stopping Power and other pointless perks, which Bad Company 2 upholds (magnum ammo anyone?).

One of my pet peeves is when people say "etc" when there is none.

My mother and grandmother watch Fox News all the time. They especially enjoy Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and Hannity.

Anyway, I asked my mother why Fox News labeled themselves as fair and balanced, and she said it was because they showed multiple points of view. She also mentioned that Fox News reports on what others are too afraid to acknowledge, and that their ratings are proof.

Now, I think Fox News, excluding Glenn Beck and Hannity, is more "fair and balanced" than MSNBC, which is so liberal that it is almost fanatical, but it still seems to be conservative with a conservative agenda. CNN seems to be somewhat moderate. Anyway, I get most of my news from iGoogle, which I have set up to show the latest headlines from all of the major news media outlets including the BBC.

What do you all think?

In a way, the people who attacked could be labeled as !@#holes because they did a 5v1.

-Team Fortress 2 people tend to make this game to look like some sort of multiplayer goddess from the heavens. The "teamwork" thing is another thing that makes me mad.....all multiplayer games where teams vs. eachother have teamwork -_-

-Homeworld 1 and 2 both suck Relic needs to get Company of Heroes more popular and or change what they're doing to the dawn of war series and stop killing it with hyped releases like DoW2.

-BF2 ugly, nade spam, **** never registers

-New WoW-Too easy

-CS 1.6

-Guild Wars sad excuse for an mmo you can beat it and then thats it....you beat it. The PvP was fun though but thats all there was

-Quake and UT I guess cause I was bad at them but holy crap....i did not know what the hell was going on it was so fast D:

-Warcraft(dota) so boring.....

-SCII

Guild Wars is a sad excuse for an MMORPG because it's not an MMORPG. The developers never labeled it that. Also, StarCraft II is so highly rated because it's supposedly balanced and competitive.

Greetings,

I liked the first Guild Wars quite a bit, but I also despised a great number of things about it. Among them was the instanced gameworld and the terrible animations. Well, I have been following Guild Wars 2 for quite some time, and I must say that it looks absolutely amazing. Like, very, very good, as to the point where it may be one of the greatest games ever.

This is a gameplay demo at PAX 2010 for people who have not seen it yet. This shows the character creation screen, fluid animations and the awesome looking combat, partly thanks to the physics engine they are implementing. Here is another video showing the Ranger profession, world map, obvious removal of invisible walls, some insane animations and combat, and the ability to finally jump and swim. They also said that everything in the game is supposed to be voiced, including all of the quest dialogue - something about how their script is equal to 60 full-featured films.

This is their main website with a pretty awesome teaser trailer.

I usually do not hype games very much unless they are coming from certain sources. As an example, I am fairly certain that Diablo III will be amazing, just because it is being developed by Blizzard.

Anyways, I was wondering what people thought about the game so far? Did you like the first Guild Wars? If no or yes, what do you think about the second?

There were so many things I hated about the first one. Quite disappointing, actually.

I used to work in retail. I know how you feel.

Now, if I make an order and something is slightly wrong with it, I will usually let it go if the worker looks busy or stressed.

You can disrespect us all you want. Just be prepared for everyone thinking you're a crummy human being.

We don't do it so people can fawn all over us. I used to get embarrassed every time someone offered to buy me a drink, or a meal. I joined to fight the enemy, for the money, for the college, and for the experience it gave me to pursue my goal of becoming a police officer.

You're free to hate us all you want, just know that the only reason you can is because generations of servicemen were there to protect this country and your freedoms.

So, I should honor, praise, and respect everyone who is in poverty, and thank them for being in poverty, because if it weren't for them then I would have to be a janitor? I should honor/praise/respect workers in the food industry because if it weren't for them I would die of starvation? I should honor/praise/respect construction workers because if it weren't for them I would have no home to live in?

There are countless things in society with purpose and that are required; just because the military is a required function of society does not automatically make members of the military deserving of honor, praise and respect.

Because they signed up for a job that could, someday, get them killed.

If we are going to use that logic, then we should automatically honor, praise, and respect people in the logging industry, because it is a hazardous job that could someday get them killed.

If we are referring to active duty, then yes, but not everyone who is in the military should automatically be honored and respected.

People who are doctors, psychiatrists, and teachers provide services that are just as important, and unless there are actual combat operations, law enforcement and even the logging industry can be far more hazardous and life-threatening.

I also do not understand why people say that everyone who joins the military is volunteering. They are getting benefits and financial support for their services, just like in other careers.

Also, not everyone who joins the military is doing so to "protect and serve this country." Perhaps people need to consider that a lot of people join the military simply for the benefits, experience and money.

The only thing I can respect from a soldier is that they signed up knowing they may be sent into combat operations and killed or wounded, but like I said you could say that about any other dangerous career.

I do, however, have immense respect for soldiers who have been in active duty, even though they had no choice in matter because soldiers are forced to follow orders, simply because if they are not in active duty, then I would have to be in active duty.

If there was a surgeon, and he was a terrible surgeon, it is unlikely that he would be famous, praised and rich. Why are exceptions made for horrendous singers in the mainstream media?
