Dragon Age 2 confirmed for next February. Unfortunately that means I will have to turn all my attention to it to complete all the various game branches in time for SW:TOR.

I wouldn't worry too much about the "various game branches," since it's also been confirmed that you can only play a human who survived the Blight in Lothering. Oh, and your surname is "Hawke." And there's even been some gesturing at how the game will have a focus on "gathering allies."

I sure can't wait to play Dragon Effect!

You had me with Vin Diesel and HACK HACK GROSS BAD HACK type stuff (always good).

You lost me with "observational" comedy like "Twilight sucks and it stupid and has obsessive fans that do stupid stuff! Also ALICE IN WONDERLAND! LOL!".

io9 answers the question no one else dared to ask: Would Firefly be even more awesome if it was Knight Rider?

Edit: via Metafilter, this makes any argument about paying for movies so you can support the people who made them ring that much more hollow.

Well, it takes place over the course of ten years. So I'm actually more excited to play Dragon Effect 2, because hopefully it will be like Mass Effect 2 was supposed to be, where your decisions were really big deals.

2010 is proving to be the year of the upset. First Daigo Umehara gets knocked into losers bracket in HD Remix:

Then Justin Wong gets knocked out of SSF4 completely by a Zangief player and an Adon player. Both characters are considered to be subpar.

To be fair on the "subpar character" comment, Zangeif has an advantaged matchup against Rufus, and Justin Wong stuck with Rufus:

The Aidon match looks like something similar happened (Justin couldn't seem to do much against the "Jaguar Tooth" or whatever the name of that move is; even when he blocked it, he didn't seem able to punish).
