Benefit? No. No no no no no. With something as competitive as SC2 they have to make sure every map is balanced and I'm sure that would be very fun to try and test with random maps. Maybe a SP skirmish or something, but ladder players would RAAAGE.

You write this as if we might care.

So anything good is Bioware but anything Bioware does bad is EA? "
Considering a short development cycle severely screws with the quality of a game and publishers are the ones telling developers "We want your game out the door by Q3 so we can milk holiday sales", it's safe to say yes. It doesn't make much sense to think that Bioware would willing go from taking 7+ years on DA:O to shoving DA2 out the door in under 1 year purely of their own volition. How many times have we seen good development houses go to hell once large publishers acquire them and start slapping deadlines on everything? Developers want to make their game, publishers want black numbers at the bottom of their bank statement. 
 
So, if EA was behind the short cycle I put the blame on them. If it was Bioware, then obviously I blame Bioware. I just really strongly suspect it was the publisher. 
 
Edit: @ricetopher: That more or less confirms my suspicion.

4) To protect your $1000+ investment? I would certainly think it's worth it. 
5) Jeff's new PC has the sound dampening foam on it. I don't know if he's mentioned how well it works yet. I'm certainly interested in it for my next case.

I'm not reading through the whole thread, but I'll just say this: The jerks who bother me usually *are* female gamers. Nothing irks me more than the "look at me I'm a girl who plays video games" attitude that is more or less just attention whoring. If you can just be one of the crowd, then take this high-five from me. *HIGH-FIVE*

Either you sent her a friend request or she sent you one and you accepted. In both situations you actively said "okay" to seeing what she posts from there on out. If you don't want to deal with it, remove her from your friends list. I went from having 500+ people on my friends list right out of high school to just over 100 now. I don't have to worry about people saying things that will get under my skin because I tailored my friends list to people I *actually know* and are *actually friends*, which I'm sure most people on facebook don't do. 
 
TL;DR: You are in complete control of the situation man, unless you really came on here to rant about politics.

There are games that are impossible to fully experience with a single play through. Also, who is someone else to tell another person they are wasting their own time? It's their time to do with what they choose.
