Short of living in Korea, none of you have any perspective on this. Have you ever noticed that all sports broadcasts in the states begin with, "this broadcast is property of the :insert sports organization: and cannot be viewed without the express written consent of the :insert sports organization:"? Blizzard is trying to turn StarCraft into the NFL.
That's exactly what they're trying to do, except the NFL is a well established multi-billion dollar industry, while competitive gaming is just squeaking along on its training wheels. Its too bad the dollar signs in their eyes are impairing their ability to see their actions are stifling this fledgling market. |

| Blizz: Hey Korea thanks for making us super rich by buying millions of our games and making them even more popular and more successful around the world by starting televised competitive leagues. You just can't buy publicity like that, which is why we want you to pay us for the right to promote our product...no seriously O_O |

The professors always talk big about the consequences of cheating, usually saying YOU WILL GET BOOTED FROM SCHOOL. But in the cases I saw where people got caught it was usually just a slap on the wrist. Even if the professor was serious about getting them expelled usually administration would find a way to keep them enrolled. Maybe that's why college degrees seem to be such a joke anymore. I'd have a hard time believing the school will expel the 100 or so students that haven't admitted it yet.
I'm kind of surprised this happened at the senior level, most of the rampant cheating I observed occurred in the lower level classes. Though I believe this was a business class, so yeah not too surprising.
Farnsworth: "But, what about your super-intelligence?"
Gunther: "When I had that there was too much pressure to use it. All I want out of life is to be a monkey of moderate intelligence who wears a suit. That's why I've decided to transfer to business school!"
Farnsworth: "Noooooooooo!" |

| BIG CHEESE may have gotten to dominos, but obviously pizza hut remains uncorrupted by their influence. Last time I ordered from them I got a cheese lovers pizza. There were several cheeseless patches, not to mention the extra wide crust on a large that looked like a medium. |

I voted early again this year, just so much easier when you can walk in vote and leave with zero line. There was actually a warehouse fire here a few months ago the wiped out about half the county's machines so they've really been pushing people to vote early this year.
I voted for our turd sandwich for governor, but our massive douche will probably win. |

Can't blame Jessica Simpson this year. Really tough break for Romo and the Cowboys. Looking at their schedule I'm not sure they have a win coming until Detroit.
On the grocery store article I don't find the last thing surprising at all. Fruits and vegetables are normally horrible. If I get anything its like playing the slots as to whether or not it'll have any taste. |

| Who's favoring the cowboys? With one exception they have looked terrible this year. I only had 3 mispicks yesterday, which is pretty good given the way the season has been going, but man were some of those games close. The ravens having to go into OT against Buffalo? They go from looking like one of the best teams in the NFL this year to almost getting beat by a winless team. The GB vs Min game was great to watch, not the best football but certainly exciting. |

Blue you're making me hungry. Even living in Texas I have a hard time finding Texas BBQ that suits my taste. Mostly because I prefer lean beef, and 90% of the BBQ places use beef that seems to be 80% fat 10% gristle and 10% meat. I love sliced beef sandwiches, where the meat has a nice thick smoke ring and a good tangy BBQ sauce, mmm.

| Those recommended specs are a little low from my experiences. Unless you're running at very low resolutions you're going to have to turn down a lot of settings. Probably have to chose simple shadows and forgo the new water. I know recommended doesn't mean best, but you should be able to see most of the new graphical features with minimal reduction of graphics. |

Poor itemization still exists, shammies will still be rolling on leather and cloth. So will druids.
Actually there are leather, plate and mail specialization buffs now. So if you're a shammy wearing 1 piece of cloth you lose the buff. It'd better be one nice piece of cloth armor.
I do agree with you on talent specing. Any given tier has what seem to be pretty distinct, damage, pvp, and leveling talents. If you're raiding really the only difference between your build and someone elses will be based on what leveling or PvP talent you took to fill out your tree to advance tier levels or hit the 31 points.

What i find amusing is that nobody bothers to check why the mine collapsed in the first place or who was responsible for it.
The mine's owner claimed bankruptcy right after the mine collapsed to avoid having to pay for anything. And I think there is an investigation going on, we just haven't heard much about it because our politicians can't use it for their own personal gain. |

Our prehistoric ancestors in Southeast Asia had good reason to domesticate the area's wild sheep instead of tigers. Sheep were docile creatures that preferred to live together in flocks and could convert grass and weeds that humans couldn't digest into valuable protein. Tigers were solitary and wide-ranging and needed to be fed many times their weight in perfectly edible animal protein. Early man realized the sheer folly of feeding several sheep to a tiger in order for it to produce a sheep's weight of meat.
I'm sure the fact tigers eat people and sheep don't had nothing to do with it. |

Due to unforseen complications, we are extending the maintenance for all realms until 2PM PDT.
We are extending the maintenance for all realms until 4PM PDT.
Unforseen, really? I think anyone who has played WoW for any length of time knows major patch = lucky if you can play it the same day.
Oh and as far as the new graphics goes, direct from the patch notes:
* Improved water and lava rendering system (Video Options - Liquid Detail on the Graphics Panel)
* Dynamic Sunshafts effect (Video Options - Sunshafts on the Graphics Panel)
* Multi-monitor support (Video Options - Monitor on the Graphics Panel)
* OpenGL Hardware Cursor support for Windows (Video Options - Hardware Cursor on the Advanced Panel)
* Experimental support for DX11 (enabled by passing '-d3d11' on the command line or adding SET gxApi "d3d11" to the Config.WTF file)
I've not been very impressed by the new water, seems very plastic like, maybe they've changed it too look more water like. I'm not certain, but I think the DX11 mode works with DX10, you just don't get the same performance hit if you actually have DX11.

The streaming content has been in place on the beta server for quite awhile. Its pretty nice, specially if you want to do some of the more mundane things like mess with the AH or gathering for your professions etc. I've not tried it, but you should be able to quest and run dungeons while still streaming material.
A lot of classes are getting some pretty major changes, so I don't really expect things to be back to normal for at least a week really. But yeah I wont be surprised if servers are down all day tomorrow. |

Sounds like this lady is just cherry picking facts to support her amazing claims. She seems to contradict herself by saying some people catch cold and produce anti-bodies without ever having symptoms. Which is kind of opposite to her whole thesis of STRONG IMMUNE RESPONSE = STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM. Allergies can trigger a strong immune response, I'm not sure many would say having allergies = awesome immune system.
I can attest to the drunk thing, I've seen numerous people overreact to things when drunk (often things they'd find humors when sober) and I've done it once myself. Felt like a dumbass the next day, and now I monitor my emotions much more stringently when I'm intoxicated. Nobody likes and angry drunk. |

| I always felt roaches occupied a place between zergling and hydralisk that wasn't necessarily a good choice between the two. Maybe I'm just using them wrong. The rapid health regen when burrowed is nice, but its just one more thing to keep track of with the zerg, who already have a lot to watch. |
