Starcraft II.. Blizzard likes to piss off their fanbase

What's a great way to piss off the fanbase of the Starcraft series who have been waiting for a very long time for the sequel to a great game? Not supporting LAN based action is a sure way to start the hate train rolling. I mean seriously, what the hell. So now if I want to play with friends while at their house we'll what? Have to log online to battle.net then get into a matchmaking room just to find our friends and join a game through that network when we have a perfectly good LAN in the house? Ridiculous.

id Software Got Bought!? What the-- how the-- huh!?

In a surprise to everyone, id Software got bought out by the Zenimax group who is the parent company for Bethesda. Bethesda of course made Fallout 3, which I still contend sucks! The immediate question I have would be how does this impact their games currently in the pipeline either in house or via third parties (including Raven's Wolfenstein). Perhaps it means nothing except that people at id just got a little bit more money. If any of them want to upgrade their cars I'd be happy to relieve them of their existing rides, particularly if any of them still own an Acura NSX.

Resident Evil 5.. a shooter isn't a shooter when its on a console

I have my mouse and WASD controls so ingrained into my motor reflexes from computer games that my first foray into a console shooter is becoming a nightmare. I like the graphics and overall vibe the game's giving off but trying to shoot straight and accurately with a console controller is just about impossible for me.

Not only that but the camera is a third person over the shoulder type of viewing angle which means a lot of my screen is filled up with the main character and his muscle shirt. If someone can tell me how to make the camera be first person I will let you write a review of whatever game you want and I'll post it here. Its a small reward but its all I got right now.

PS3 and Gran Turismo 5

There's pretty much one reason to own any Playstation console and that's the Gran Turismo series. GT5 looks so good it made me want to lick my monitor.
