Guild Wars 2...out of digital copies?

Apparently Guild Wars 2 is sold out of digital copies.  This sounds ridiculous, but the reasoning is actually sound, and in fact speaks to ArenaNet being good citizens in the gaming community.

When you release an MMO, players have to go somewhere to play, that somewhere being your servers.  If the servers are overloaded, nobody has a good time.  So, in order to make sure that the game's early adopters get the chance to play it as intended right from the start, a cap was put on the number of digital copies to be made available.  I say good for you guys...

...besides, I won't be trying the game for years anyways.

Sporcle Quiz - WWF Royal Rumble (SNES) Wrestlers

Trying out a new quiz style, it's a "minefield" style quiz. Basically, if you click a wrong answer, the quiz ends. For those of you who played WWF Royal Rumble for the Super Nintendo, you should be able to name at least a few. Good luck!

This Letter in Gaming - A

So I've finally put together a Sporcle quiz that I think is decent. It's got a good variety to it, and hopefully a wide range of questions, from simple to challenging. The quiz link is below. Basically, all answers to the questions will begin with the letter A, but the questions refer to games from the past 15+ years of gaming, from the NES to the Xbox 360. Feedback welcome.
