Thunderthread. Two men enter..

Well, can't put her away with forum posts, heh. Who said exempt from contempt, though ? I just find it funny to read in posts. Guess I can't generate the anger. I'd wager most of the mocking and "poo flinging" comes from their legitimate customers rather than they do from those evil, subhuman people downloading stuff over torrents, Usenet, etc. or the groups making the releases, though. As an aside, similar situation with my company's product. Wouldn't work to pirate it anyway, although there is a joke about our clients being institutional crooks in the first place, heh.

Well, see above. That and, if you're going to post internet vitriol about people, might as well save it for truly scummy people - e.g. lady who scalded her baby to death then went shopping, etc.

It's a waste of effort, maybe.

I recall the OUTRAGE* on the BioWare boards when pirates were able to play ME 2 before the release date. *To be sure, people are outraged there constantly. Heh, I didn't know ME2 got leaked that early. One good thing about Steam I suppose, those are always cracked after release so you don't end up in that kind of situation. As for the harsh language about people pirating games, it's pretty amusing

Well, not much, they've cracked most pretty promptly.

It's the only honourable way out for a forum warrior.

Was also raised in this thread too. Maybe that will be their next idea, jack up the price to account for all their "losses" due to piracy.

Rather interesting day to start, exit the elevator and there's some dude standing RIGHT in front of the doors, he's just stepping in before I can get out. So ended up bumping him a fair bit with his coffee in his hand, heh. Either some people storming the elevators or people that walk out and then stop gazing around in bewilderment At least it's sunny outside!

Path of least resistance, yup.

Cheer up!

Nope he didn't, more of a rejection of a "well it could be worse" I guess. How did DRM messing with your playing get compared to losing a limb anyway. Although, some company losing theoretical sums of money due to piracy isn't that bad, when you think of it that way. Also, this is a rather amusing DRM - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-12-...s-sam-3-pirates

Laughing like hell at the football teams from Manchester, right now.

With built-in guns and motorized blades ?

Maybe trade schools will get more respect these days, they don't get as much as Universities here, heh.

Christmas party nearing so have to pick somethings from the menu, assuming we order from the normal menu and don't get some crap picked by the manager. Have a nice dish of ribs, one of the most expensive there too, heh. Generally a lousy day, overall though, haven't seen the sun in 3-4 days.

I'm averaging 3 or 4 a year. This year the majority has been stuff from GOG, heh.

I always wanted to see mercenary tourism in Somalia.

Plugging away at Ground Control as Major Bastila, am a bit sad that the Daredevils were KIA, serves me right for rushing to that evac point.

Vizime was fun for me, punctuated by that annoying swamp. If you quit after 20 minutes, I guess it'd just get worse for you though.

Gothic III now available

Well that's a decent rejection, heh. You never heard the argument that second-hand buyers are bad people for not giving their money to the developers ? It's pretty silly but people get their backs up about it.

No saved passwords in GOG Interesting little tidbit, wondered at how many answered like I did for that question on the survey.

Doesn't that class as abandonware, or is that just wishful thinking
