This exact thing happened to me. I'm not sure how they got access to my account, but my account was linked to my debit card. . . bad idea. They charged up a ton of Microsoft Space Bucks and spent them on some crap for FIFA 11. It took me over a month to get my account back. And when I did, I had quite a hard time getting access to my Windows Live ID, so that I could actually use my account. I pointed out to a couple of Microsoft employees that the thief apparently somehow used FIFA to launder the Space Bucks, but everyone whom I spoke with had never heard of that before.
Thank you very much, Patrick, for writing this piece. Also, to everyone out there, try to use points cards, if you can, and get your credit card off of your account, so that your account is useless to the thieves.
Hey Giant Bombers, it just to happens that I have an extra code for the First Strike map pack. I can't encourage that anyone actually play these maps, especially Kowloon, but here's the code, enjoy: TMV2J-WDDKT-VFJJK-MH7MR-RPYCZ
Jeff, Ryan, Vinny, you need to filibuster Starcraft 2's anticipated game of the year argument, just like Brad filibustered Lair of the Shadow Broker.
C'mon Brad, 3 out of 4 people seem to believe that Shadow Broker is better, and I would bet that the majority of Giant Bomb users agree.
Edit: I just finished listening, and even Brad used the word filibuster to describe his argument. You usually filibuster when you're in the minority . . .
