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.

Something trolly this way comes. I give it 20 minutes.

Castles II. Good memories.

Wait, how did we get on anti-Bioware people again ?

I never claimed they didn't. But riding coattails is a bit heavier of an accusation. I'm not sure how sizeable that portion is anyway, it's nigh impossible to prove either way. Word of mouth for the Witcher that I've mentioned or heard has never included Bioware's name, for example. A blurb in PCG and a review for me.

Obsidian is an example of a company you could argue as they've been handed the IP to work with and make a sequel to, the end product being quite similar to the ridee's. Getting some PR and giving some in return (Bioware must have liked someone using their tech) and using an old engine you've hacked up and down, isn't enough. But as one does.

Interesting definition of riding coattails you have. The engine usage is probably the only argument one can make for that, as much as that is anyway.

How did they ride their coattails ? I know they used the same engine as NWN, albeit modifying it heavily.

We should be able to summarily execute any and all party members. Too crowded on my ship.

Eh, looks ok. Will be a good way to kill time in March anyway.

If only the RDF could save him. Oh pffbt, it's the Enquirer.

God damn North Americans.

Shame I missed that, will have to get to see it. But what a result! Shame they'll end up losing it on the away leg

Haha

I couldn't help but snicker.

Programmers. Not sure why, must be the soulless organizations they serve, stifling their urges or what not. For most of the engineers I went to school with, generally a lot were made a lot more bitter by schooling, so maybe it's that

You two should share a room.

Realized that I end up doing work simply because I've nothing better to do. Although to be honest, most of the work at home is just reading poorly documented code, or code with misleading documentation hah. Probably should find a hobby I suppose. And a 5 day weekend starting tonight.

Crysis 2 Source Code Leaked Hah! Lovely. Should be a good read.
