Paul Barnett: Reasons not to play Warhammer Online

So.

Reasons why Warhammer is "really really good":
Point 1: Tolkien
Point 2: Tolkien
Point 3: Poorly Written Tolkien

"epic, heroic, perpetual struggle...or any combination of struggle that's epically heroic."

1) I love tautologies.
2) That line has to be on every piece of Warhammer merchandise ever.
3) Does this fuckwit have marketing Terets?

"And the most important thing about our MMO is that it's not a computer game. What we're making is a total hobby experience. We want you to buy this game, and never buy another one. We want you to spend all your time playing it. We want it to involve skill, commitment, and imagination. The more skill you put in the better the game is; the better you feel. The more commitment you put in (you gotta pay us some money, you gotta agree to play it) then the more the game will reward you. And, imagination. Now, over in America, they call it "immersion"; it's not immersion. Immersion is playing Half-Life and not realizing the house is burning down, and that your wife's left you, and that you haven't eaten for a week. Imagination is 'i've played the game and then I want to talk about it, go onto websites, draw pictures about it, have t-Shirts, I want to think about what i'm going to do when I play next week. I talk to my friends all about it.' If you get skill commitment, and imagination, you get a hobby experience, and a hobby experience should grab you to the core of your being and be the only thing you want to do. That's the game we're making."

So, how is that not a description of World of Warcraft, ass?

Man loses Hat, killed by Ninja

Source:

VALENCIA, Calif. — A 20-year-old man was listed in critical condition after he was struck by a roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain Saturday in Valencia.

The man lost his hat on a ride and climbed two security fences to retrieve it, park officials said. That's when he was struck by the Ninja roller coaster and knocked unconscious.

He remained hospitalized Wednesday. No other details were provided about his injuries.

The roller coaster, which reaches speeds of 55 mph, was shut down until state inspectors determine whether the accident was related to the ride.

The man's name has not been released.
