Not if you only make one back-up copy for personal use and do not distribute it. I should make a backup copy of my car, that thing might break down. Yesterday I scratched my car's rear bumper. It broke down completely. My mechanic says it's beyond repair and has to be totaled. That's what you get for buying a $50 car.

The Sharks looked a good deal different, even though it's only the first game. It helps to have the blue line vets Blake and Boyle, but the forwards all seemed much more active, particularly on the power play. I can see the differences in the coaching style right away. Not that Wilson was bad, but I don't think his defensive focus was conducive to the Sharks line up.

Redneck Rampage?

I'm on White Tower as Chaos and Tor Elyr as Order. But the game was crashing for me a lot, I think I'll give it a few months and try it again. Still is a very good game though, I recommend it despite the crashing.

Yeah, that was a good movie.

WoW is such a gear-centric game. I realize that most MMO's are about loot, but WoW really seems to be all about the gear. For example, I worked to get an entire suite of the Imperial armor for my Pally, you know, the set that Stormwind Guards use. But it was really a weak set, and it even made me rather ineffective in the game. That always bothered me, it's one of the reasons I stopped playing.

I didn't read your full post, but let me just say Warhammer Online makes WoW PvP look like excrement. I loved WoW, but I never really understood why they started focusing so much energy on the PvP.

Curses! I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you nosey kids!

Maybe he meant Speed Racer?

It's a pretty cheap car, it's $4999 so technically it's a misdemeanor.

Go right ahead. And be sure to post how you did it. I worked on it for a bit, but the stupid car kept getting stuck in my DVD burner. So I just stole one from the dealership.

You need to burn it to a DVD and play it on an X-box 360 - there are ways to play burned games without chipping. Can you be more specific on ways to play without chipping? I still see this as a lot more difficult than pirating PC games. You need a DVD burner, that alone creates a bit of a hindrance that PC games don't get.

I thought the whole point is that it is now downloadable off the internet - maybe I am confused? I dunno what Hurlshot means either, it's on torrent and file sharing sites. So do you need to burn it on a DVD and then play it on a modded Xbox?

This doesn't seem quite as serious as being able to download it off the internet. Not that it isn't terrible, hopefully they can trace the leak, but I don't think it will be able to spread very quickly this way.

Big Bang Theory

It's too bad he chose the Wii version.

Just as an aside about the firepit, the child wouldn't actually need to fall into the fire to burn to death. Just being close enough to overheat can be deadly, it's why you hear about children dying in hot cars every year.

Anyone catch the most recent episode of "The Big Bang Theory"? It was all about Age of Conan and what happens when the hot girl next door gets addicted to an MMO. It was geek-tacular. It amazes me that a sitcom on a major network during prime time focuses on MMO's and it hasn't been canceled yet. I also wonder if Funcom paid for the opportunity to be in the show, or if Funcom got paid for it. They actually used the game engine to create some cut scenes, at least it looked that way.

Dang...I really feel like I missed something!

Yeah, that was pretty unsurprising. I'm in support of this legal action. While it might be a hassle to need to carry your DVD's with you if you want to watch them on a laptop, there is too much room for abuse in allowing full copies on the hard drives like this.

I'd say he's lucky he only got two years. A 7-month old baby requires constant attention. Even when the baby is asleep in the crib, my wife and I were checking on our daughter all the time. There also seems to be a gap here. Man has baby in arms - baby burns to death. Did the baby burn in his arms? How the heck did he not notice the baby slipping out of his arms? He may have slept off the alcohol, but I doubt he would have been slumbering so hard if he hadn't been drinking. Also, was he alone with this child? 6-9 beers while watching your 7-month child is ridiculous. It's incredibly irresponsible.

Good to see Hades is keeping active!

I don't think I'll ever understand how any fan of KotOR can play ME and dislike it. They really felt like two very similar games. To me it would be like loving squash and hating Zucchini. What, is it the color?
