Hey, I would like to make a watch folder for itunes. What I mean by that is similar to the "Watch Folder" ability in Windows Media Player. That is it has a folder (for example, "My Music") which it will constantly scan (or check every once in a while) for new music, that will be added...

Just got the game today, and played through the first couple of levels. Graphics are quite nice, no Crysis, but not an eyesore, good environments, lots of variety it seems. Gameplay is very basic, run and gun, with one squad control (move to this spot) which is useless. Storyline is neat...

A guy I go to school with hates WoW so much that he actually wrote a 6000 word essay to show how much he hates it and why he thinks it sucks. I used to be an avid wow player, have since quit but I still think it's a good game, just too time consuming. Anyways I wanted to know what you guys think...

Has anyone else gotten banned from the age of conan beta? I have no idea as to why, i've been patiently waiting for this for a long time. I didn't break NDA or anything, so I'm very confused... anyone else get the same thing?
