It's dark again! Thank you sooooo much! I guess I must have unintentionally switched it to the bright design at some point in time. Spent the last two hours searching on how to turn it off. :-D

I don't know if it's a bug or if it's intentional - I guess the later. But when I visit GB on my Windows PC the site's background is a very bright greyish that's burning my eyes. On my Mac it's the dark grey/black that I'm used to and that I like best.

Is there a way to switch the Theme/Colors for my Profile? Or am I the victim of some stupid A/B test? If so, I strongly vote for the dark design! The other one hurts my eyes!

Whenever I want to share a Video on Facebook, the URL that is generated points to "www.giantbomb.comyes" instead of "www.giantbomb.com/path/to/video" ...dunno where the "yes" String comes from, but it breaks Facebook sharing. 
 
Here's a screenshot with the Problem visible in the lower left corner.
 

PayPal is a must. Kids in Germany don't have a Credit Card, but can still use PayPal using their Bank Account (free Wire Transfer and Debit Cards are pretty much standard here for anyone 8+  ...we don't have any cheques though, or only for traveling but even then it's uncommon).

The game is now being published by gamigo games, worldwide. They showed this new Trailer of ingame footage at E3 2010. Afaik it's going to be released by the end of 2010 in Europe and the US. I'm currently playing closed beta and it's really awesome! Feels like a mix of X-Wing and Wing Commander with some Eve elements.. though not as deep as Eve.. what I've seen so far was quite casual. Than again, it's early beta... so who knows what they'll have in the final release. That being said, the shooting feels very satisfying :-)
