Bester I don't think you are taking the scourge of Pirating seriously It seems like you are justifying it ...... My wife is a Unity developer and while she sells her stuff on Asset Store, she also uploads all her products (to which she holds all rights) on torrents because it's just how we are. You'd never understand. I am very surprised that your wife is in the industry and yet you guys seem fine with Pirating. So yes I probably won't ever understand I wouldn't really put too much stock in anything Bester reveals personally. He's playing a character here. His anti-kickstarter material is fantastic, but I think he's been a bit heavy handed with the piracy thing. His intention is to elicit a reacting, hence the jumping to porn when the thread started to slow down. Back to the scenario, there are plenty of creative people who put their content up for the masses. That is a wonderful part of the internet. I actually think that is a good argument against piracy. There are so many free books, games, and video out there, you really have no justification to take something from a creator who wants to be paid. This is entertainment, you can live without the stuff from big companies just fine.

I am with Volo on this one. As in, we both clearly dont know much about basketball.

I can't believe your friends are too cheap to drop $5 on a book. That's the price of a coffee at Starbucks.

Not true. Many years ago I ate a cheeseburger at McD's and got violently ill for about a day. My wife and daughter were sharing a hotel with me at the time, and my daughter has never bothered me for McD's since.

The biggest benefit from those local honeys is they will help with allergies. Consuming all that local pollen is a fantastic way to build up immunity.

Started Saint's Row 4. Holy moly, they really keep ratcheting up these introductions. Volition is amazing.

1. Dance 2. Thank my wife for always packing a few things in a carry on bag 3. Furrow brow and untangle

Yeah I get preferring Steam, since they have a better selection and much better sales, but I've never understood trying to argue one is worse than the other in terms of DRM. In reality, Origin is less of a resource hog and the offline mode seems to run smoother.

That sounds awesome, and great fun, I'd have paid money for it if it was'nt for the fact that it'd come loaded with online DRM; Origin or Steam. I am quite ok with Steam, at least they sell all games, but closed platform like Oriign is no go for me What do you mean? Origin has non-EA games. You can even add all your non-EA games to your library with a bit of work. They don't get as many games as Steam, but that has nothing to do with EA.

Finished Saint's Row 3. It was fantastic. I think I got the good ending.

I've been finishing up the storyline in Saint's Row 3, I was about halfway done last time I picked it up. Always a blast. This will scratch the itch I've been getting from all the Watch Dogs buzz.

I've mentioned to Woldan that he has no idea what is in store when he hits his 30's. It's no joke.

Probably because they often fall under public domain, and they don't have to worry about the copyright consequences.

Geez, I'm really sorry to hear the Labadal. Did you have any insurance?

So are the Giants the best? They have 2 in the last 4 years, and are looking to make it 3 in the last 5.

I guess you could instance each combat encounter, like they do with conversations in most MMO's.

I wonder how much that makes up for the epic failure of Russia not even making the semis on home soil in the Olympics? Pretty much not at all, since no one really pays attention to it. Most of the NHL caliber players that even show up are young guys whose teams didn't make the playoffs.

Saw the latest Xmen movie, it was a fun mix of the old with the new. Also a pretty crazy storyline, they really are having fun with the 70's in this one. It could be titled: X-Men: Mad Men Edition or X-Men: White House Down or Oliver Stone's X-Men

Why are you asking here? Oddly enough, I bet someone will have an answer.

The hardest part of teaching is when I have to poop, and I have to wait for the bell to ring so I can go.

My 3 year old son clears levels on Skylanders Giants, so it's definitely not the most challenging game. :D It's a fantastic technology, the idea that you have these figurines and you can then portal them into the game really captures the imagination. I steer them away from the Disney Infinity stuff, I'm sure they are fine, but they aren't the originals and I'm not going to buy two different systems.

You must live in a frightful place.

I've discovered Veronica Mars on Amazon Prime, and it is fantastic. I'm almost done with the first season.

The A's rarely get any attention, but at least they've got a great movie about their GM.

The Taliban are a shadow of what they once were.
