Creole Ned:
I agree in general, but you seem to be overlooking the fact that there's one free movie. If any site posted one free movie (without additional clips requiring a subscription), we would report it too and nobody would be complaining about it, so I don't think we should be treating GameSpot differently just because they dangle a bunch of carrots in front of you and some of you don't like carrots.

As reported here before, of course.
http://www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/board.pl?action=viewthread&threadid=32419
And before that it was known as Unborn, as the URL on Silver Style's site still indicates.
Anyway, when Simon & Schuster mentioned the developer, my first thought was of Natural Resistance/Freedom as well, but they haven't confirmed that yet. Also, they asked us to pull the screenshots we posted with the press release, but we hope to get something new soon.
Meanwhile, you can check some previous shots and a movie trailer at 3D Gamers </shameless plug>

Re: Mail Forum For Your Private Reading Only |

Since you're having e-mail problems, why don't you setup a link on the front page to post e-mail news that otherwise would get lost, to a private forum that only you can read. That way when your e-mail server goes down, anyone can post news to your board. Just make sure that they have to login in to do it. Interesting idea, but I'm afraid it's not that practical. A lot of the mail we get is from companies and other sites that use mailing lists, and they simply have the news@bluesnews.com address included as one of many. We certainly can't expect them to specifically visit our site and post, say, a press release into that forum, when a mailing list is so much more convenient to them.
Further, our mention of the temporary address yesterday in the news, and using it in the menu & title bars, is not really picked up by everyone visiting us and then sending in a story, as we got less than half the mail volume we normally get from people not using the aforementioned mailing lists. I guess folks often have the news@ address already in their address book, and old habits are hard to temporarily break.
Maybe everyone even gets used to posting news for your access only and it might even start taking a big load of your server. Our mail is handled by a different machine than the rest of the site (and one we don't have direct access to, that's a big part of the problem). So using a submission forum on our website would actually add (however little) to our server load rather than reduce it.
Anyway, thanks for everyone's feedback, our mail server resumed its duties a few hours ago, so we'll be fine until the next calamity  or until we move elsewhere (which is being worked on for some time already).

Blue, if it comes to your attention that a download is being restricted to a local area, please mention it with an UPDATE notification. It will save people the time of clicking through on it if it isn't available to them from where they are downloading. Thank you. 1. Blue didn't write the story. 
2. I downloaded the demo just fine (but I'm in the Netherlands, maybe that made a difference) so I wasn't aware of any area restrictions.
3. Try the mirror.
This MUST be a new record at 400 MB, right? No, that's (still) the Baldur's Gate II demo at 609 MB.

Why did Blues take this thread off the main page?? We didn't. Not manually anyway. The popular threads box only lists comment threads belonging to news stories of at most a week old, and thus this Morrowind thread has automatically expired off the list.

I'd like to clarify that the release schedule, of which the French site forwarded a copy to us, specifies that Fallout Fantasy would be a PC title. We wouldn't have run the story otherwise (or at least not this prominently).
That doesn't mean the stories on Duck & Cover and Vault13 are wrong, it could well be that the schedule is inaccurate and that it simply copied some fields from the Icewind Dale 2 entry above it. I'll paste them from the Excel sheet here, but of course they'll likely get mashed together due to lack of column formatting:
Titre Sortie Support Test Preview News Genre Développeur Editeur/Distributeur Prix Euro
Icewind Dale 2 Sept. PC Sep-02 Jul-02 Jun-02 Action/RPG Black Isle Interplay/Virgin 53.21
Fallout Fantasy Sept. PC Sep-02 Jul-02 Jun-02 RPG Black Isle Interplay/Virgin 53.21
So there you go. More as we find out.
