I thought we were on to DRM's true purpose

Hm, a bit harder to be negative about it.

I think it's just that the crap they put on as "protection" is not only useless, what it aims to fight isn't actually the cause. Now to go download GIMP without paying! Mwuahahahaha.

Performance anxiety I suppose.

True, DRM's like locking an open door. Also, you are undoubtedly criminal scum

Why use a 100% ineffective lock ?

It's annoying waiting on the documentation you need to file your return. Here they always seem to wait until March, annoying as all hell.

I usually replay games often, but the only block I have is some sort of prescient fatigue half way through a replay. Happened on my third run through DA

Looking at updates about Mrs Vos, it's funny the effect a name and a photo can have. Apparently they got her and others in her building out, so that's good.

Ahhh so true.

Torrents were made for this kind of thing. Hm, then again will probably be up on them anyway.

Got into a long tizzy with a coworker after suggesting they fight Somali piracy by using it as a training ground for special forces people

Just as long as they don't have angry sex at the end of it.

Well that's fine. You like it, I don't like it as much. I had heard a rumour they were making another movie about it. With the dude from Twilight as Paul. Then I found out it was a joke and was happy.

Well they both suck, but the 84 version has Patrick Stewart. So that gives it a marginal victory.

Yes, you're one cut above, etc. I did mention it's typical for a game, are some games that are released without any checks at all. I've never checked those PCG CDs, but wonder if they have some TOS that forbids this sort of thing. Not aware of such a bandwagon, sure it's not just people being negative across the board, and it's just you ?

Finished off Castles, that bit of nostalgia's done. Now on to Castles II, or maybe Shogo.

Dune. Overall....yeah ok, it's pretty bad, flows terribly and the weirding modules. It's better than the Sci-Fi (or is it SyFy now) miniseries from 2000.

You filthy pirating scum! Did I do that right ?

Well usually pirates have to defeat something for game, like the DRM, rather than essentially mirroring something. I thought they put it out in the magazine, but if it was limited to the premium sheep then I guess it is a tad dishonest as the magazine didn't get a sale as part of it. Still, I'd be pressed to call someone playing a freaking DEMO this way a pirate. What's with your constant Bioware victim complex, anyway ? As for the support of piracy, if you mean sorophx's comment - he is right that is a challenge of sorts, but the guy's not exactly saying "**** yeah!! SKIDROW!"

Cleaned my primary rooms in a record time today. Now to get stuck cleaning the humidifiers. Then I suppose I'll spend the rest of my day off FINALLY getting parts for my new PC.

Weird case of piracy then, didn't think they DRM'd up demos of all things and the magazine let it out, rather than it being leaked, no ? In any case, would download it, but at my cap for the month, heh.

So, this some kind of rush job then ?

They are, actually. They tried with Dragon Rising, but futzed it up (must be Lenton's fault). Funny though, looking through the database for DR, I'm seeing all kinds of weapons and vehicles and troop types that weren't in the game - stuff like Humvees with TOWs, mortars and mortar spotters, etc.

Operation Flashpoint Red River Trailer Oh yeah.
