does radical entertainment think they're funny?

Prototype offers the following achievement:
Trail of Corpses (30G): Kill 53,596 infected.

that number may look familiar to those who have played Left 4 Dead.
Zombie Genecidist (30G): Kill 53,595 infected.

what is this, a "my achievement is bigger then yours" contest. its hard enough in left 4 dead to get that many kills, let alone in prototype there aren't as many zombies at one time.

same goes with the original Gears of War
Gears: 10,000 ranked
the Club: 10,001 ranked
BF: Bad Company: 10,002 ranked

come on people... this isn't a contest, and if it was Gears 2 wins with 100,000 kills.

stop making achievements thinking people will only play your game.

unless your halo.

M 2010

some previews of the new core set have begun to leak out. (http://mtgsalvation.com/magic-2010-m10-core-set-spoiler.html) Remember my guess on the 8 "survival" cards? (cards that have been in every core set since the first)
in case you don't, hear were my picks.

current 16:
Air Elemental
Samite Healer
Grizzly Bears
Goblin King
Nightmare
Scathe Zombies
Drudge Skeletons
Bog Wraith
Giant Growth
Fear
Giant Spider
Howling Mine
Orchish Artillary
Regeneration
Rod of Ruin
Wrath of God

My guess on the 8:
Air Elemental
Wrath of God
Giant Growth
Nightmare
Goblin King
Giant Spider
Orchish Artillary
Rod of Ruin

Actual 8 announced so far:
Drudge Skeletons {X}
Nightmare {V}
Air Elemental {V}
Giant Growth {V}
Bog Wraith {X}
Giant Spider {V}
Howling Mine{X}
Rod of Ruin {V}

so yeah. i fail. however 5/8 isn't all bad.
and now both red and white have lost thier chance for coreset survivor.

so in magic 2011 they are only going to be four of the core set survivor.

My guess on the final four:
Air Elemental (all the way!)
Giant Growth
Drudge Skeletons
Howling Mine

interesting new cards include:




Ant Queen {3GG}
Creature - Insect {R}
{1G}: Put a 1/1 green Insect creature token onto the battlefield.
#166/249
5/5



Vampire Nocturnus {1BBB}
Creature - Vampire {M}
Play with the top card of your library revealed.
As long as the top card of your library is black, Vampire Nocturnus and other Vampire creatures you control get +2/+1 and have flying.
3/3

Notable Old Cards:
Duress (might be reprinted, still unconformed)
White Knight (I was Right)

As For Booster Art Cards
Red-Enrage
Blue-?
White-?

Manaburn has been eliminated (mana pools still empty when appropriate, you just don't take damage)
