Yeah, real men do the same thing over and over again like some kind of Hades wannabe.

I thought it was 350 points for the entire thing

Uwe Boll doesn't need to perfect his movies, they're already perfect.

Any gamer who talks about games being the important thing and yet dismisses nintendo as 'kiddy crap' needs to be shot. Taste is one thing, ignorance is another.

I'm with Tale, I bearly remember what I had for breakfast.

haha, man, the things people will do when they're bored.

now that the hard patch is out I might pick it up. What sand is really complaining about, however, is lack of warewolves.

haha, Lly and I started playing Halo3 again. Guesting really adds to the experience.

I'm going to kill you.

Don't worry, we still won. And that reminds me, I need to make a video of me killing jigs with one swing which also sent an explosive barrel flying into Llyranors face.

I'd give myself amnesia so that I could be the star of various RPGs.

There are no words.

I wonder if this is an example of BIOShazards best work.

Dude, why does that guy have a chick bursting from his abdomen?

Haha, router broke, no 360 for a while. Whhhhile

Not if I can help it (though I really enjoyed it about three years ago), the move to 3D animation totally killed any desire to use flash. Mostly because I find it so restrictive without the third dimension. Having said that, now that i've got a tablet, this could change.

Take me. NOW

The fact that the traditional view of of the arastocracy in the army is of the WW1 officer with the handlebar ordering 1000s more 18 year olds to their deaths on the somme without a thought only helps the refeshing image of Harrys actions.

Oh, yeah, totally, only, I was refering to a specific individual who seemed to do exactly what I do. That is to say, i've only pirated games I would never have bought. This isn't subjecture based on other people, it's me. It was projection and when refering to the general populus you're right, both about the issue and the language used to express it.

'is not different from pov of the law' except that it falls under a completely different set of laws. Again, i'm not saying it's acceptable, but i'm not saying it's the same thing either. A better analogy than any you've offered is a person fishing in a lisenced lake without a hook. Yes, he's fishing, yes, it's wrong, yes, he's stealing, but only by virtue of the fact that he hasn't payed. If arrested, he wouldn't be charged with theft. I'm stealing if I ride an empty rollercoaster without paying, but that's vastly different to stealing the bloody rollercoaster. If i'm arrested, again, i'm not charged with theft. If i'm arrested for software piracy i am NOT charged with theft, i'm charged with copywright infringment and the likes. 'is kookie to claim that there is some special category 'o theft for information and use.' Yes, because there is. Again, you're not stealing somthing that doesn't belong to you, you're stealing the right to use it. Steal the software but don't install or distribute it and you're basically in a legal grey-area. Now, if you want to talk about livelyhoods of the programmers, that's different.

And to the person from who it's being stolen, the law and everyone else. Being that buying a game does NOT mean that you're buying the code, stealing the code doesn't mean you're stealing the game either. When you pirate a game you're stealing the lisence and that's a vastly different concept from stealing somthing physical. I'm not even saying that it's better, but saying that it's the same thing and should be subject to the same laws is int < 8.

That's more a facet of your tastes, which isn't a critisism as much as a comment on the fact that it's sad that these staples of the PC gaming market are being killed off.

Right next to the 'bitter and twisted old fart' option.

Someone who goes to war because they feel it's the right thing to do is superior, morally, than jimmy-poorbum who got shipped off to war because it was essentally the only career choise open to him, as seems to happen in the poorest areas of the US. That doesn't mean that Jimmy doesn't deserve respect, but that doesn't make it any more noble than someone who HAPPENS to come from a royal family wanting to 'muck in'. Gromnir is being bitter because people are actually noticing the guy, but failing to achnoloage that it's obvously not HIM that wants the attention. The point is fair, we shouldn't, essentially, honour Harry any more than any other soldier, but that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to be honoured.

Actually, what you guys are proving with your failed analogies is that there is no simple analogy. Which is part of the problem in terms of people understanding how to deal with the issue.
