Mytheon not Mythos. Got me all excited there. I was a BEta tester for the original Mythos. Lots of fun and potential there.

I get confused by those two Myth* games too. Heheh! Is this one any good?

That CBS reporter sounds like she was having a stroke or something. I heard that she is in the hospital having some tests. Kind of sad.

This is terrible news for PC gaming, because of the impression it leaves.

I'd say it's terrible news for Crytek and/or EA more than PC gamers. Everybody knows that Crysis 2 was gonna get pirated anyway. The absence of this leak wouldn't have changed that. However, what this leak suggests is that either Crytek or EA have poor security and this hurts their reputation. The leak most likely occurred within Crytek, given the included DRM master keys and editor. EA's impression of them has become far less favorable.

Hah! You two are hilarious. I put my keys in the same place so I don't lose them. It serves me well.

Their called pockets folks. Seriously, doesn't anybody have pockets anymore?

What happens when you do laundry? I would forget.

I don't know about the rest of you, but $5 for 5 hours is a total rip-off.

$5 for 3 days is more appropriate.

Even a 100k subs for 10 years won't earn you your money back and that just isn't going to happen. SWTOR will be the last major failure for a long time (Rift Planes of Telara only marginally less so as a 50 million dollar failure).

So far it looks like GW2 is the only thing on track to really innovate the genre, if not it'll fail too. The whole genre needs a reboot. It's gone way too far off track. It was us old school PnP/MUDders who created this damn genre so I know what I speak.

I say enough with the elitist (and completely false) attitude that WoW isn't a fantastic product; like it or not it is. It's genuinely one of the greatest games ever created, even if you don't bother with it.

here we go with the dumbshits that think their personal opinions are objective facts

wouldnt that be nice

For all of you who think you need millions of subscribers to be successful...

Just remember.
Everquest at it's peak only had 900,000 subscribers, and it was considered successful, and UO didn't even come close to that. No MMO will ever duplicate what WoW has done, and I don't expect any to.

If an MMO reaches a couple hundred thousand subscribers and they do better than break even it's considered a success.

WoW got to 10million users not because of marketing but because of the quality of the product.

Hardly. WoW got big because it was accessible to non-gamers, was Mac/PC out of the box, would run on any hardware due to crap graphics, and became extremely trendy.

There's nothing special about WoW beyond it's adoption by the drooling masses who don't actually play games.

And no, I don't work for Turbine and don't usually gush over MMOs, lol.

Other forms of journals kept online also existed. A notable example was game programmer John Carmack's widely read journal, published via the finger protocol. Some of the very earliest bloggers, like Steve Gibson of sCary's Quakeholio (now Shacknews) and Stephen Heaslip of Blue's News (still running since 1995 with online archives back to July 1996), evolved from the Quake scene and Carmack's .plan updates.
