Since it kinda got lost in the rest of the BF3 thread:
Be advised, Europe: your usual time difference with the US won't apply, because summer time ends a week earlier here than in the US. So that's 7PM in London, 8PM on the mainland and 9PM in Kuwait.
Sundays can be a lot of fun. Be there or...
Origin / Battlelog names
Since there finally is an official way to change your Origin user name this might be a good time to start this thread. I'll keep the first post updated for ease of use. Please post your forum name and Origin name for easy copy-pasting.
Late edit

Notch thinks he has the perfect solution for the current "lawsuit nonsense" over Scrolls.
Bethesda's lawyers will probably laugh in his face, but it is a great idea nonetheless.
I shit you not.
The pitch:
The description:
While it sounds awesome, I don't see this game ever reaching retail. Which is a shame, because it is a great concept imo. The dev himself is already thinking about sequels:
Please, PLEASE don't be vaporware.

Watching these videos got my feet itching. Can't wait to hit the road again.
I am kinda surprised we don't have one. I'll start, but not before linking to this page. That gives you a good idea of 'pricing'.
I need a bottle of Mad Milk. I'll offer one scrap metal for that. Jarate is also welcome so I can craft it myself.
I also want to trade my duplicate strange...
Anyone playing with these yet? I unboxed a strange shotgun, grenade launcher and sticky launcher. I am especially happy with the latter two, because I play Demo a lot. My nade launcher has the best rank so far, Gore-spattered. Seeing the kill count go up in the description is very satisfying...
The dudes that once were Infinity Ward finally have a real 21st century website. Not much news in the gaming section except for a PR blurb and this screenshot:
I am betting the game they are making is a shooter. :) Dedicated servers are confirmed:
From Microsoft's E3 press conference: Minecraft will be console-exclusive on Xbox and has Kinect compatibility.
Some reactions:
"BEEETRRTTTRAAYYYER!"

Discuss!

In one sentence: algorithms have a huge influence on how you use the web.
Also, lets put it to the test and post your first page of search results for Egypt on Google.
MTV did a phone interview with Stephen Merchant about playing the role of Wheatley in Portal 2. Apparently it was hard work.
Interesting interview. Merchant goes on saying that playing Wheatley made him realize that games are art. And he would do a reprise of Wheatley if Valve asked him.
I am currently listening in on the Activision/Blizzard conference call. Kotick et al have been talking a bit more about the rumored Call of Duty 'mmo' / Battle.net hybrid whatever milking machine. They aren't giving specifics yet, other than that the project is called Beachhead, it will be...
Ubisoft has announced the fourth installment of the Assassin's Creed trilogy. In Ass Creed Revelations Ezio will this time travel to Istanbul to kill some more people. Because that is what he supposedly does. I wouldn't really know because I only played the first two games for about a couple of...
This news sucks. According to the pdf it only takes 2.5 million dollar per year to run the facility. In government budget terms that is peanuts. I know there is a financial crisis going on, but this is the only program of its kind. As mentioned on the SETI site these are exciting times for...
I want to use the song from the singing turrets in the secret area as my new ringtone. Using GCFScape I have been browsing through Portal 2's sound files but I haven't found it yet. Could anyone point me to the right location? For reference:
