Tired of standing in line for first day video game releases?  Amazon to the rescue

Amazon.com announced today a program to ship games for arrival on their release date.  You can now sneer at those folks who waiting in line at GameStop for almost 20 minutes to receive the latest gaming industry created rogue rip-off or YAFPS (Yet Another First Person Shooter - thanks Cavtroop) while you slave away at work and watch UPS repeatedly try to deliver a game to your empty home via their tracking site.  It's only good on a couple of games right now, but expect more publishers to jump on board soon.

Baldur is one of the Norse gods – a cybernetically advanced human tasked with protecting the human race. Baldur is considered by the other gods to be less advanced than the rest, thus “too human”.
