The article says he's still with EA. Kotaku reported this story, and it says he is on vacation and returned to Canada. It just seems like he is assuming a different role.

Assuming they're actually watching it and didn't go afk without warning then its not a problem. I enjoyed the scenes a lot the first time/s through and they should get the chance to enjoy it too. I've seen people freak out at the end of maelstrom after I just spaced barred it at this point, and I enjoy their reaction.

Sure do, more potential players for mac only people who don't bootcamp.

Sents have awesome survivability cds. Both ACs are strong though, I enjoy my guardian as either focus or vigilance spec. I rolled guardian as dps, but I prefer to have the option to tank pve content. I'm not sure you can go wrong with either AC.

This needs to be added in 1.2. Now people will actually use LFG flag.

+1. I enjoy the game, and I look forward to not looking stupid on my JK anymore with 1.2 orange gear. I would really like to see the lfg function expanded even on an intra-server level to assist with group formation (i.e., matching perhaps). Please keep the story elements per individual classes developing as well.

I completely agree; my last 2 cards have been EVGA's. I have a evga 460 gtx and the game runs great. I would go with the 560 gtx or ti as others have suggested. I definitely appreciate ATI's bang for the buck too (possibly better than nvidia), but I have had bad luck with their cards for whatever reason. EVGA + Nvidia is a great combo.

looks good, i just bought a similar set up (different brands same idea), but I recycled my gtx 460. I'm an nvidia fan as every single ati card i've ever had has gone out on me, and i'm sure there are plenty of people that have had the exact opposite situation as me where their nvid cards are crap. you could overclock a 6850 instead of the 6870 and have similar performance. i personally prefer antec psu's to corsair, you may consider looking at the antec ea650w. either way, i have corsair products too, so i think you've got a good set up. should be around the same cost (not listed on your screen though). I imagine you intend to overclock the 2500k? Either way, have fun with your new toys.

I really enjoyed the JK story, but I expected to be a hero and was not disappointed. It picks up near the end of the prologue and each chapter is noteworthy. I felt chapter 2 was my least favorite, but it picked up quite a bit in the end of the chapter. There were a few 'surprises' along the way to keep it interesting, and most importantly, I felt important the whole time.

Indeed it appears that you are.

./agree Also, the story is a breath of fresh air, even though the mechanics are go here and kill this, I often feel a sense of urgency and connection to the plot.
