Toyota's recent hurdles are so ironic. They surpass GM and all of the issues that plagued GM for years become Toyotas.

GM as a company is a joke and any internal activities on their part to appear as a real company are a waste of time. Bottom line GM sat and waited to be bailed out instead of doing anything to remain a real company. They had the biggest heads-up you can get that Toyota was passing them in volume and had passed them in quality for over a decade. Instead of getting rid of Saab, Pontiac and Saturn years ago they kept the status quo, I forgot how many billions they were hemmoraghing in the last months before the bailout but it was a lot. Now people are jumping ship, rightly so, and some merit raises are going to do something? They need to sit down and get their global strategy together and position their brands accordingly in each segment/market.

The sad thing is I'm not a GM or American car basher, I actually loved GM trucks and some sedans (G8, Malibu, etc.) The company I hated most was Ford because of their nepotism. What did Ford end up doing, they hired Mullaly who had experience running companies out of bankrupcy and he mortgaged assets to give Ford the cash to make changes and NOT take bailout money. I was rooting for GM to get out of this and quickly but at this point I'm all for Ford wise choice to get someone who knows their job and performs. /end rant

I'm really banking on this game I'm MMO-less right now

After playing COX for over 3 years and just a few months ago ending my subscription I will agree with a lot of the first poster. I find, as with other commenters that the newspaper mishs are a lot of "filler" content. The teaming system was indeed a great strength of the game, as well as the ability to just pick up and play. I noticed over the years that while rolling a new character was a great way to shake things up I still had to do all the things I hated (low levels) over again. At the end of the day rolling new characters was a band aid and at the end of the day it wasnt worth it to keep shelling out the $ (it probably didnt help that I kept losing friends making it harder to get dedicated teams/groups).
I ended up trying Champions for a month and during that time I found the same low level hurdles, which was an immediate turn off. At this point I'm holding out for Star Trek Online even though the odds aren't in its favor.

I would probably buy a 32gb touch if it cost less than my netbook

Favorite quote besides the mucho played out, "our arrows will block out the sun...." has to be "...because only Spartan Women give birth to real men."
Favorite scene is when they are making the wall of dead bodies on the beach and the Persians approach. One of the 300 jumps in the air like a flying squirl and kills him. Had me scared of squirls for two weeks.
