It's weird. My roommate who isn't a nerd knows who George Takei is, but another of my friends who IS a nerd had no idea who that was. It's like living in oddworld temporarily.

If the HIVE had a Heroes Power, what would it be?

See, that's why I'm deeply conflicted. I really dislike the notion that I can only install it so-and-so often, plus:
What happens if EA goes down the drain? My copy of the software, which is in my possession, becomes useless. That's disturbing me.
And while one could say "that's unrealistic"... erm... no. I still play MoO2 occasionally. Where's Microprose now? I still play RA1 occasionally. Where's my Westwood/Virgin now? And so forth - I still play games of (basically) dead companies.
Cheers, LT.

Now thats messed up.
You should have seen the write up of the Mystara/Dragon Lance campaign that GM ran. (A computer hiccup caused me to loose that post as I was writing it). Here is the short and sweet version:
We went through the War of the Lance and then did an adventure that was sort of like the Legends series. The adventure pretty much ended with a TPK caused my bard (who sought vengeance against Fistandantalius-Raistlin for killing his wife and child), an pc assassin (who was hired to kill Caramon) and our wizard (who saw himself as being superior to Raistlin) decided to ambush Dalamar before he could use this one orb to summon Ristandantalius-Raistlin from the Abyss. Unfortunately that meant we had to go against, Caramon, Tanis, Tasselhoof, our Solomanic knight pc and our saurial paladin (who wanted to stop Fistadantaliusn-Raistlin from killing off all the gods and also didn't trust Dalamar's motives in regards to his mission to kill his mentor).
The ending of the game was chaotic. It was PC against pc NPC vs pc and was just messy. The assassin killed Caramon. The Saurial killed the assassin. Tanis was squished by a wall of iron. Our knight was smashed by a wall of iron while saving dalamar. My character then sacrificed himself as he tried to destroy the orb/staff thing only to be killed off by Fistanddantalius-Raistlin as he appeared and betrayed Dalamar (by firing a 20d fireball at my Dalamar and character). I then think the paladin killed raistlin... but by that point the train was already derailed and many of the characters were mangled under walls of iron.
We all left feeling violated and it was agreed that that game never existed.

George Takei is in Red Alert 3?
Man, he's getting a lot of work in his old age! Good for him.
And good for him in terms of getting together on a legal basis with his partner. Made me smile.

You are right in those conserns actually. And they bug me too, but not enough to make decide not to buy it. And anyways, I'm getting the XBOX version so it doesn't matter to me
So as long as they don't figure out a way to copy protect counsel games.

Not quite. If he does not know Takei, it's regrettable, a clear fault, but it can pass. If he doesn't know Sulu...
Counsel games!?
Cheers, LT.
