I'm fine with paying with AE since I'll probably play it as well, but that's not the point. I want my CC info off that xbox and off the account, use MS point cards or something in the future. Already had my CC info stolen once so the less places it's at, the less I have to worry about. Well, at least i get the 0.01% cashback or whatever garbage deal is on my card. Doesn't compare to free Air Miles though.

Hm chang messaged me the same thing, figured I should check here to see what the deal was just in case. While I'm pretty raged about it, Ray can have SF: Anal Eruption as a gift. And if Alexey is playing it too then i can at least know i'm not the only one raging. I thought I had removed my CC info, but I realized I only removed it from TupacShakuras after they repeat-billed me with stealth auto-renewals which I'm still pretty annoyed about. Anyways remove my CC info from your account, I'm hella pissed at MS and I don't want them getting ahold of any more of my personal info. I'll even tell you how: www.xbox.com > My Xbox > Accounts > Manage Payment options. You won't even have to talk to annoying XBL tech support people on the phone like i did.

Honestly I don't think the riot was as bad as people made it out to be. It was pretty much localized to a few streets and we aren't talking about millions of dollars of damage, it was a few cars, a few dumb fights and some broken windows (one idiot tried to kick in the windows at scotiabank and failed at doing so). I didn't feel like I really feared for my safety even when the crowds started running. That having been said, for the relative level of violence and destruction that ended up occurring I think the police and security did a piss poor job. Half of georgia had NO cops on it, and they were deploying tear gas as a containment measure at the very end of the roads instead of sending people in to break up the fights, which had the effect of boxing in a wide (and meaningless) perimeter of innocent bystanders. At no time did i feel the cops actually wanted to get involved in suppressing the destruction. Most of what you saw on TV (cops administering beatings etc.) was really the exception. I was standing there and thugs were kicking and breaking shit while the police just stood there trying to do their best impression of a NATO peacemaker. On other roads there was absolutely no police presence while people threw garbage cans at the stores. Like wtf? The standards of security in Canada really baffle me. Security people are absolutely willing to taser confused immigrants, punch students and beat harmless dirty hippies with riot shields at G20, but they are not willing to confront people setting things on fire in the street here in Vancouver. It's like they're only willing to throw around their weight when they know the target is not actually a threat.

Shouldn't the fire spread to your opponent too? I assumed in most white RPG's that kind of status effect is modelled to be contagious.

How do these terrorists stay hungry?
