I'm sure they are well aware of the analog loophole, and that all it really takes is time regardless of what software it is. The main problem for publishers is not that a game can be cracked, but that torrent sites are so prevalent it's often many times easier to download a game illegally than to pay for it. P2P is the real enemy, and their victories so far have been very minor.

Leave it to the Chinese to make a cheap knockoff without any hidden hooks.

So, you can have a bad desktop or a bad laptop. Win !.

I think you will get tired of poking the screen in lieu of a keyboard really fast.

Nothing wrong with being a socialist except that in the American political venacular there is little to no difference between socialist and communist, it simply means something else than in the rest of the world. A misnomer that goes back virtually unchallenged to the cold war. In most of central Europe Obama would be right of center and certainly not a 'red' of any denomination. So, Obama is an American socialist.

I thought philology was the study of language. Doesn't sound very language studyish

Offline mode always works and you can always launch your games. The problem is getting into it. It'll often try to update Steam for 5 minutes before it gives you the offline mode option, but it IS there, even if you try to turn that mode on with no net on a fresh boot. Edit: As it stand nows, my Steam folder is about 180gigs and my GOG folder 30 or 40. I always try to buy on GOG first to avoid ALL DRM, but Steam has been extremely pleasant. None of the nastiness I was expecting. I get 'could not connect to steam' and that's that, nowhere to launch my games. If I lose connectivity while logged in it says 'game not available at this time'

The breast thing is weird, if you are 18 you can't be mistaken for a young child, maybe mistaken for 16-15 and that would be a longshot. Also, it's descrimination. Small boobed women thrown in jail for frolicking picks, big boobed ones land promotions.

Uh'huh, I'll be sure to let my girlfriend know. It'll save me a ton of effort. *Badum tish*

While it wasn't as dark as Aliens, I wouldn't call it a family film. I mean besides the violence and alien sex, Ridley is a smoker! That's pretty dark. Yes, what a badboy.

Dragon age is CD key, I think, can't remember. In any case no problems playing without an active connection.

Offline mode works, sometimes. Mostly you are not allowed to launch games in offline mode. Maybe you have to have booted up steam first which requires connectivity, so offline mode would be for people who have logged in but lost their internet. Pretty useless.

I have, it's weak rehash of what we have already seen. Not even T-bag can help matters.

I wont be getting any of those games, for me the absolute limit has been reached with steam (no connection means game is 'unavailable') which I still use because it compensates by being very easy to use.

Ohh and watch your computer(s) ant's are attracted by the vibrations given off by by electrical machinery. Might want to get the cases off the floor at least.

Don't you feel at least a little sting of disappoinment that Cameron didn't go for dark and gritty sci fi instead of the big sunday family outing film.

I surmise gassing the tunnels would provide the greatest effect. I suppose it's just the standard little brown buggers, They dont have a chemical attack, or eat babies in their sleep ? Anyway you can't know the dimensions of the hive, maybe you are just unlucky and live next to the front door. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6d5pcr4X30...feature=related

I'm having a little trouble adjusting to the balancing fix, not used to playing with a full party, just one or two companions. Torment doesn't have much of an AI except for the guard button which means fighters work just fine, but casters will have to be micromanaged or they wind up dead pretty fast. I can't even remember the last time my whole party was alive. The widescreen mod works great except for the flickering inside the fog of war, but I think I remember a similar problem on a standard monitor. Also I'm too anal not to miss complete combat feedback and descriptions. The radial menu is barely capable, and there is this great big strip of nothing where the quickbar could have been. Strange design decisions, but I'll make do. Overall it's keeping very well as opposed to fallout 1 and 2 which I have also been playing-

Isn't there a DX 3 in the works, which was not handed out to bunch of hapless germans to develop

Lionheart is pretty good before you forget what you were supposed to do or why.

Paul Reiser would just use the secret jewish handshake resulting in an automatic critical miss.

Well alright maybe Woody Allen is like, I dunno a smarter mammal.

Damn, you beat me to it.

Keynes was overtaken by globalisation, but it worked well for its time.
