EA is still releasing games to Steam. They're just not releasing certain titles.

It's the opinion of one of the people who are key in deciding what goes to Steam and what doesn't. Which could explain why there's no BF 2142 or BF 3 on Steam. Because the senior VP in charge of deciding who sells their stuff has a hardon for them.

The one person is their senior VP for e-commerce sales.

So, you have to buy it through origin only? No thanks.

Right. But my point is this, they're doing what Phantom was attempting to do. I can only imagine that they'll use Steam for content delivery, it makes too much sense. Not to use it when they've got a foolproof and comparatively secure content delivery system already up and running would be...

Anyone remember the Phantom console? It was to be based on PC hardware and have a 100% online gaming library that you downloaded to the machine. Steam looks to be bringing it to pass.

I do, they buy it because it's a known entity. They know that the fanbase will keep buying games based on past success in hopes that it'll get better. Then after it fails due to them releasing garbage under the new regime EA will shutter the doors of Bioware while blaming it on either a fickle...

STALKER, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, all the COD games I've encountered, Far Cry, Serious Sam, Max Payne, Splinter Cell, Hitman, XIII... All of them have different ammo for different pistol types. Granted, a few fall into war sim category but not all.

If you can't equip it why can you pick it up? As to the pistol ammo, the ammo determines the damage the pistol deals, yeah? a .22 has a weak charge and tiny projectile so it's not as damaging as, say, a .38 or far less damaging than a .45 or .44 mag. The game has the equivalent of a 9mm that...

Yeah I'm serious. Leveling a shotgun is about the stupidest thing I've ever seen. It's one of the most basic weapons around, requires very little skill to use yet they think it's something you need to unlock? Pistols are harder to be accurate with but that's where you start. In essence they...

Too high level? Really? I see ten year old kids shooting shotguns and a game maker is going to level a shotgun? That's absurd.

Definitely need to play it with someone else, I keep getting my backside served up to me on a platter. And WTF is up with the fact that I can't use the shotgun?

A memory MFG? Odd.

Did you read about the European telecom that sent out texts with pre-order numbers and the numbers were actually to a phone sex line? That's just hilarious.

I've seen vacuum tubes older than I am that are still going strong. Sealed properly they won't leak.

I wonder if you'd still get the boundary layer if it was a soft vacuum rather than a hard vacuum.

That's a good rule to follow. There are some etailers that sell on ebay which is good since there's still a warranty but in general, for big ticket stuff, I prefer to just buy from a retail site. Better safe than sorry.

And that right there is what is going to kill fleabay. If I want new stuff I'll hit up Amazon or any of the other recognized (and MFG approved) etailers out there. There are more MFG's than I can name that offer NO warranty on product purchased on eBay. The reason being is that (according to...

If they really want to get the maximum efficiency from the minimal space inside a HDD they should put the drive in a chamber flooded with helium, enclose the drive and pull a vacuum before sealing it off. The vacuum offers even less mechanical resistance and whatever residual gas would be in the...

What's with the display on the game pad? It looks like a handheld gaming device by itself.
