Will be interesting to see what people have to say about the caspian map. Hopefully there will be some kind words.

The removal of Town Portals and lack of any real consequence for death is disconcerting

Wait, what? They still have Town Portals, they just aren't called "Town Portal" anymore, and they are activated by a stone, rather than scrolls. Functionally, they are pretty much identical (barring a cast timer).

So please link where it says they tried to trademark any instance of Scrolls.

And Windows 8 will never overtake it. There's no way the Enterprise will adopt their stupid Tablet OS.

Just remember that the tablet UI will not replace or usurp the standard Windows desktop. You'll be able to use either UI--and possibly even some hybrid of the two. The emphasis of late has been on demonstrating the differences that Win 8 will bring as opposed to the similarities with Win7. But I agree with you--the tablet UI does nothing for me, really, so that will not be the reason I buy Win8, should I buy it at all.

I think the thing that is most interesting about Win7 is that it is, aside from its name, literally Vista 2.0...;) It's always funny to read the comments written by people who "hated Vista" but "love Win7," accordingly. I think Microsoft's biggest mistake with Vista was its name--obviously. Had Vista been named Win7 I think it would have been heralded as great success, oddly enough, or had Win7 been called "Vista 2" it would have been heralded as a flop, imo. People really don't like getting away from the "Windows" nomenclature.

The only thing I can surmise from reading the comments threads around here is that Blue is amazingly lenient. I have yet to see Cutter ever make a cogent point or contribute anything to a discussion other than uncalled for insults and tons of hyperbole.

I don't know what it takes to get banned around here, but it's clearly a lot. This place would be 1000% times more civil and engaging without that sort of bollocks.

On topic: Carmack is a legend and I'd love to shake his hand and say thanks regardless of the venue.

So does anyone know why we actually need Origin running? It doesn't seem to be doing anything, after you launch the beta it just opens the battlelog in your browser and that's about it. From there on you are in the web browser to launch the game and end up back in the browser when you close the game. Doesn't seem to be any integration or link in between Origin and Battlelog.

beta plays like a buggy COD clone.

No ability to create a custom squad, see other squads to join/switch to, or lock squads.

I still want a free sampler (e.g., beta and trial) before paying.

Problem with that is,dota 2 is just dota 1 with better graphics.They said they wanted people to move from dota 1, how is that going to happen when they don't even have all the heroes? I think this will hurt them on the esports side.

He seems to be trying really hard to make a serious case, so I doubt he's trolling. But even if so, he's a cunt either way.

I was actually more surprised that Gamespy still exists.
