That's not true, quite a few games have been released as Freeware that used to be commercial titles. Lately some fairly recent games have been released for free download as well, like Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and FarCry (albeit with advertisements built in.) Some games are even re-worked by fans to make them playable on todays systems, like SCUMM and the Sierra adventure games. In fact I'm surprised that more publishers don't release old titles for free download, it would give them a good idea about what properties still have enough interest to warrant a new version. I know. Note the following quote of mine in reply to Xard's questions.

No. And they won't, unless EA decides to offer SS2 for free.

This topic is a bit on the edge, but I think it might work if it is taken towards such questions: "Are people in general, dumb? And if so, is humanity doomed because of it?"

It's not legal to download commercial games, even if they're no longer available.

Some are quite humorous. The gravity one is awesomely funny, and also: "True Christians should only read English." ROFLCOPTER

I'm sure it's possible to find equivalently stupid quotes from nonreligious or moderately religious people.

Tried and failed to play Thief. Apparently the game no longer works with Geforce 7 cards, unless you are willing to roll back the drivers.

You can turn off Vita chambers now. Unfortunately, the game is still easy and badly designed.

If you know how to use strafe, the wrench should be enough.

I wouldn't call Odysseus a monster hunter. While he offs lots of monster like creatures, he doesn't really go on a hunt for them. He just defeats them to survive. Edit: I forgot an obvious one: Gilgamesh.

What, Team Rocket?

Saint George, Perseus, Hercules, Bellerophon, The Old Man, Christy Brinkley, Claudia Schiffer, Pokemon's cast.

I won't ignore it, but I'll be real suspicious. Also, I'm not so sure Irrational still exists in the same way as before the buyout.

The whole idea of making a sequel is dumb except from a profit point of view. Of course, as Bioshock was already mostly about the profit, there will be some sort of continuity.

Well, that's another problem. "Franchise". They can fork off with that. And besides, considering it is a franchise now, and how Bioshock was a big commercial success, I don't see how 2K is going to let the Marin guys change the Bioshock formula too much. Also, KL has repeatedly stated that 2K had nothing to do with the dumbing down. That video of Chris Kline doing an analysis of Bioshock's development is quite enlightening on how things went on behind the scenes. Edit: Saying "yes" to the player is biggest load of crap I've ever heard.

I don't think it's a particularly good game, actually, even if you just take it as just a pure action FPS. Enemy AI is pretty bad and lack of enemy variety doesn't help either. The soundtrack is good, and the artwork is good. The beginning and the "magical plot point" are also good if you take them by themselves. However, if taken within the context of the game they just make the whole experience feel worse.

Disappointment of the year.

False alarm, then. Back to waiting for info on Obsidian's new IPs.

When typing I use the three middle fingers of my left hand and the pointer and the middle from my right hand. The strange thing is that I never use my left thumb, even though it's effectively resting on the space bar the whole time I type. Also, I only look at the screen to correct typos, which may happen during the writing (if I notice the typos right after making them), or only after the writing. I'm very fast with the fingers I do use, I just don't use that many fingers in typing.

I had a dream last night where I was taking a bus ride from the north to the south of Portugal accompanied by my parents, Chris Avellone and J.E. Sawyer. What the hell?

Sapkowski has to be a pretty awful writer for that to be true.

False and I'll prove it with math. No one is as awesome as me. No one = awesome = me I can see why you're a psychology major. I've been dying to find a Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga partner. Do you have a PS3? I presume this is rhetorical sarcasm, although I honestly don't see anything in my post that deserved it. Hah!

You'd have to actually be someone for that to prove your point.

Anyway, you having one kind of proves my point.
