Thanks to @MrKlorox and @Brackynews for the link!

Also, OUCH. That's a hefty sum SK has to pay out. Don't sue unless you know you're going to win, kids.

Does anyone know if any pertinent details from the contract itself have been released to the public? Silicon Knights were, of course, attempting to make it out that Epic had done them a disservice, and the court decreed that it was not so. However, just out of curiosity, I would like to see tidbits of information from the actual legal document. I am not well-versed in the intricacies of these types of binding contracts, so I don't even know if it would be legal for any excerpts to be made public.

So, yeah, is there anything floating around on the interwebz?

A lot of these can be answered with; A) Developers lack the resources, whether that be time or money - some things are simply more important than creating a dynamic system for door opening and mountain climbing, or B) certain things just aren't fun, and, as video games, things that are not fun should be kept to a bare minimum.

Prime A Example: Invisible walls exist because a world without limitations is still largely unfeasible in modern gaming. Even worlds with procedural generation will reach a limit and your game will crash.

Prime B Example: Encumberance sucks. It will always suck. It should never be in games.

Amazon had me signed up for some news letter, and I never read them. Suddenly, I get this really mopey sounding e-mail from them that was all about how I never read it, and how I should have totally been proactive about dropping my subscription (and how I just needed to let them know, MAAAAAN), and, finally, how my subscription will be dropped because, well, Amazon was angry/disappointed with me or something.

Yeah, that is the only time I felt awkward because of some robotic messaging system. The fuck, Amazon?

In closing? News letters are weird shit. I still get a few stalker-ish ones from Turbine and LotRO.

The Tales series has pretty great co-op.

The two Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance games are also great for console-owning loot whores.

Throw me in with the group who finds it odd that you can elect valedictorians. XD

So, uh, I guess this is your one chance to say what you really feel deep down in your...bowels. Shit on everyone and everything. Let them taste their inferiority.

One out of ten. It's annoying, and I find no enjoyment in the process, but a needle in the arm isn't actively scary.

I have to say that I never like classes that have bad teachers.

Really, it runs the spectrum. There have been great math teachers, bad English teachers, and vice versa (repeat ad infinitum for all class subjects). If I like the teacher well enough, and they keep me engaged, I'll have no difficulty getting an A. If I have no interest, I'll get complacent and my grade will drop. First World Problems.

A four - that's approximately the same rating as a pillow stuffed with Vinny's curly back hairs.

I have to admit, these forums don't smell nearly as good.

What, do I look like a chump?

Possibly. Just take this quick survey, and we'll let you know.
