Gears 2 Goes Gold, Forum User Boasts Broken Release Date Hours Later
by Chad Lakkis on October 10, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Today in WTF! news, Gears of War 2 is announced as having gone gold (which means the game has been finalized), and just a few hours after that, the game surfaces in the hand of a mysterious figure on the popular Neogaf gaming forum.
Coincidence? Bullshit? It doesn’t matter. What matters is that every time something like this happens the collective butt-cheeks of software executives clench in unison.
Eventually, games will come with remote detonators that sense a premature case ejection. Removing a game from its container before the specified release date will cause it to explode violently, and affected individual will have a hard time convincing anyone that they didn’t deserve every piece of gaming shrapnel they end up having to dislodge from their face.
Hey, I love reporting news and rumors as much as the next guy, but if continuously pushed, it’s not far fetched to think that developers will find better ways to protect themselves and the media they create at the expense of time and resources that could have been spent developing better content. Everything comes with a price.

Good Evening Everybody…!
This is sort of a continuation to a different post earlier (that I can’t seem to find) discussing [b]ESL & English Second Language Software[/b]. So I’ve done my part by trying to investigate as much as I can.
I found that out of all the [url=http://www.qgroupplc.com][b]English Study[/b][/url] courses, the [b]QGroupPlc[/b] ( Website: [url=http://www.qgroupplc.com][b]QGroupPlc.com[/b][/url] ) offers the best services for the most affordable prices. The QGroup online study courses teach Grammar, Vocabulary, Spelling & more.
The [url=http://qgroupplc.com][b]English Course[/b][/url] are great for for kids, and I’m so happy that I finally found one!
Let me know what you think, and I would love to know about other sites offering these kinds of courses, I’m hooked. Besides that, I’m also looking to become an affiliate of English Vocabulary Software to make some extra cash [url=http://www.q4affiliate.com/][img]http://www.verifiedfile.com/images/smile.gif[/img][/url]
