Apparently they released a lot of usernames, passwords, and emails from various video game forums. Anyone know which ones were hit? Kinda like to know if I'll have to change up some passwords.

Again.

https://shouldichangemypassword.com/ 
 
Website integrates recent leaks that contain e-mail/password pairs, many of them the public LulzSec leaks, and searches them. The website claims it doesn't contain passwords; only leaked e-mail addresses. I haven't experimented, but it would be easy to test by looking through one of LulzSec's leaks and putting in an e-mail address, which should trigger a reaction from the site. (Pretty fun that.)  
   
The alternative would be searching through leaks by hand. 

It's purported to be safe (i.e. not a spam catch.) Picked out a media outlet speaking about it; the name of the guy who made it is public knowledge.

@Tiger_Buttercup: Ouch, that's mad stupid customer service. I'd say switch out of e-mail and start calling them on the phone. Eventually you might be able to get a hold of someone higher up the food chain, direct them to the string of e-mails, and see if they cannot determine what went on. 
 
Fundamentally, while it will probably burn a lot of time, it might resolve things. (Hopefully not time on a cell.) 
 
A person with a problem right with them on the phone is more likely to react, so perhaps that'll have to be the cinch that sets their bacon in motion. ξ

I am also jealous, I look forward to losing at least a month of my brain to this game. ξ

It's a pain in the butt, but when the bezel on my old Dell cracked, I was able to call in and get a new one ordered. Replacing it ended up being as easy as watching an enterprising tutorial on YouTUBE showing me how to remove all the relevant pieces. 
 
As I don't ever want to have to go through that again. I now run with a surprisingly expensive (but actually paid-for-itself) warranty on all my more expensive laptops. Not my first choice, by my XPS has had its video card die 4 times -- free replacement each time. ξ

This would be amazing with voice control support. The game felt way too short to me, but I did like the concept behind it.

@tearsinrain: I won't be able to afford it at full price either -- but that's not unexpected on my budget for any games -- however, like most others in this thread, I'm looking forward to getting my paws on it. ξ

That's not bad by half. I've watched enough Fable to have become quite attached to that dogmeat. Indeed, the water is very good (I am suddenly reminded of techniques for generating water reflections tought on channel 8 past midnight by a very happy man with a canvas.) ξ

@Shakezula84: That sounds like a mad commute, but then I realized that here in Phoenix, a 1 hour commute has never been unknown to me. (Dreadful and annoying, but dismally common.) ξ

Would have replied, but then read "thoughts?" so I will just think my reply.
The telepathy with this one is strong. ξ
