I know! And I want it so much I'm almost willing to pay $300 to play it.

Just pre-ordered it from GreenManGaming. I think it's the last day for their 25% off sale, and that's the cheapest a digital copy of the game will be until at least the Steam Winter Sale. I don't see an activation code on my GMG account, though; do they have them yet?

Borderlands 2 coverage right now on GTTV.

Nintendo usually don't announce dates and prices at E3, so expect those closer to TGS. As for what it comes with, all we know is that the box will include "2 controllers." One of them is certainly the Wii U Gamepad, while the other is probably a Wiimote, but could be Gamepad Pro.

It leaked before the game came out last year. I assume that's why SEGA is going all-in with Steam integration for FM12.

I remember that. It'll still get cracked though, I'd imagine.

Yeah. Games are sadly cracked no matter what, and very quickly. Double Fine just released the PC version of Costume Quest last Friday night at an event, and before the night was done, it had already been cracked.

Don't forget to delete your fake.inc files!

I forget to do this every year! Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like my game is 50% finished decrypting. I'll finally get to play a legit MLS career as the Whitecaps! Though, given their performance this year, I don't know why I'm so excited.

It's streaming now. I got my code for pre-ordering, so I assume it's the same for everyone else. "Hell Broke Luce" is one of his very best songs.

The game already simulates the results on non-playable leagues, but doesn't recognize the results until the end of season. It's not as dynamic as it would be if the leagues were playable, which is why you'll often find the same higher reputation teams advancing to continental competitions, but the leagues do take place behind the scene. My main concern is applying to jobs in unplayable leagues -- will I be able to do this, or will I have to make the league playable first? Could be a bit troublesome in journeymen saves.

Good topic.

The screen that shows which areas you've scored and conceded goals looks great. Very useful.

I can be found here. I reset my list last year when I bought a new PC. I don't listen to nearly enough Tom Waits.

this guy should post here more often

64 times in 7 years is considerably more than I thought I had. I'd probably post more if I knew how to change names. Underscores are awful; I have no idea what my 18-year-old self was thinking.

Just booted up a game as Calgary Stampede and they don't have a TV show or PPV agreement in Canada, just ones in the States and the UK. Might need to fix that!

"...he's unlike anyone else..."

He's like a lot of people, actually, and he's worst than most of them. Well, he's better than Jack Johnson, but that's not saying much.

Oh God. The first was horrible. If this gets a straight-to-DVD release starring David Duchovny, we just might see one of the cheesiest movies released in a decade.

I am all for this.

"Praries: Matthew Good based in British Columbia"

That... is the first time I've ever seen someone refer to us as the Praries. You do know that little mountain range known as the 'Rocky Mountains' separates the Pacific Northwest from the Praries... right?

Canada - Martha Wainwright, Broken Social Scene

Iceland - Bjork, Sigur Ros

Australia - Killing Heidi, Architecture in Helsinki

France - Air, M83

Sweden - The Cardigans, Dark Tranquillity

England - The Go! Team, The Streets

Spain - Prefuse 73

America - Rufus Wainwright, The Mars Volta

Japan - Guitar Wolf

That... should do.

... I would be an ass and say something like "none, they all suck," but I consider Disturbed a guilty pleasure, so, in order, Believe, Ten Thousand Fists, and The Sickness.

I highly doubt that Sigur Ros will breakout anytime soon. They've had a little hype for Takk..., which is nice, even if the album is incredibly mediocre. Yes, it's more mainstream-accessable than their other works, but that doesn't mean is is mainstream-accessable. Give them a couple more years/albums to build up the fan-base, which grows exponentially whenever they play live in a city, but 2006 isn't the year.

As for who I think will breakout, eh. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah might, as they have a sound that people crave now, but I have a feeling that they've pretty much capped. So I'll go with M.I.A. She's exploded in the previous year, got to open for Gwen Stefani, and is now working on a new album with Timbaland. Normally, that isn't good news, but hey. It'll get her more attention.

Not listed on that site are new albums by M.I.A, Radiohead, The Dears, and Godspeed You! Black Emporer. I also wouldn't be surprised to see new albums by The Streets, Aesop Rock, and Dizzee Rascal.

As far as concerts go, eh. You hardly ever get more than 6 weeks between announcement and actual show, and most of the best ones are in the summer.

Topic creator: Ong Bak is a 2003 release. Since you're a Min-sik Choi fan, however, I recommend Crying Fist. Awesome, awesome stuff.
