I like the Spellsinger series by Alan Dean Foster, as well as the Artemus Fowl series by Eion Colfer. Good books I might add :)

True, however by a simple google search I can also find out that we did not land on the moon, the world may very well be flat, and that if I don't send at least a half dozen different people money I will burn in hell for being an heathen.

They do set the prices that they sell it from their supplies, due to supply and demand, but it isn't written anywhere that they have to follow what supply and demand dictate. Odds are that they stay close to it, but to say that they have absolutely no choice as to what the prices are is ludicrous.

My personal odds of this happening have gone from 6.02x10^23: 1 to 4.20x10^20:1, meaning that it's probably not going to happen, but even though the odds are \"better\", you'd have a better of getting hit by lightning in Death Valley.

This may be a bit more wishful thinking, and a complete slaughter on our side. But it would be hilarious if\\when D4 comes out that we could have a Multiplayer game, D4 vs. Crysis, which we would completely waste them on, but, it'd be cool anyhow. Really prove which game is better.

Yes I did watch the video. But I figure if they have that kind of movement seemingly working correctly, it would just be another step to remove the certainty of an orentation, and gravity, and then make the player a ship instead of some person flying in mid air.
