For the life of me, I can't figure a reason that somebody would do this.

It's about time. Those poor Alaskans deserve to have an Internet connection.

I agree that some computer games are so real, they do cause Post Traumatic Gaming Syndrome (PTGS). It's not 20 years ago when you closed your eyes and could still see Tetris blocks falling...falling...falling.

I usually just buy my pirated games from The Softwarez Store. With the prices you pay for some games, it's almost the same as stealing.

Rent the ass copier for office party.

If they were Software Pirates I'm sure they could've hacked into the navigational system and taken over easily!

'They wanted me to sign a copy of the game,' defended Taylor, who was at The Software Boutique promoting Dungeon Siege. 'No, I mean an actual copy, burned onto a CD-R! I only intended to sign originals at this promotion.'
