Can it be called pirating if I purchased a legit copy of the game that won't install and get another copy via a torrent? Hell, I wasn't even aware it had DRM on it until I read up from troubles others were having.
Yeah, but it also turns an honest man into whatever it takes to get his damned game working since he feels entitled to it (rightly so cause he did pay for the thing).
I had brought a copy of Supreme Commander:FA and went to bit torrent for a copy of it since it would NEVER install all the way. Plays like a champ with the copy I got offa Pirate Bay, no insert CD or nothing.
BTW - I do know the latest patch removes the 'copy protection' on it.
What level of computer literacy do you feel the Commander-In-Chief and those reporting to them should have in order to comfortably and accurately convey the importance of a given situation/threat the USACEWP encounters?
Cutscenes were used to treat the player for undertaking the long arduous quest of whatever is important in the game. Giving them a break and some eye candy as a way of saying 'job well done, look at the pretty thing we made for you! Go ahead, sit back, watch'... This is one of the reasons why I still like the 'cutscenes' from FF6 (FF3 for the states). Especially at the halfway mark in the game when the world gets royally screwed.
Now it seems like cutscenes are being used to drive the story instead of embellishing it. While just my opinion I don't really like having a cutscene every 20 or so odd minutes when just a simple NPC dialog would do. I gave up after FF9, and haven't played anything past that for more than a few hours, usually at a friend's house. I'll shut up now, as my old school nostalgia will probably draw fire from people saying I am remembering things that never were.
Does that include concepts like, "what 'first' means?" Yeah, it would have been totally embarrassing if he had come in second like that guy at the top of the postings...*cough*
I thought his name was spelled Barracks Obama. Was thinking maybe he's like one of those Overlords from StarCraft and he houses troops, somehow... I need bleach for brain now, brb.
I'm all for saving the planet but none of these laws actually do anything to lower the co2 levels to conciderable levels and thats according the EPA. Yes, and we've not heard any stories of the current EPA showing bias...
Not sure. I have a PS3 and I don't really qare about this... However, this is just me. If they really want to win me over, make it so their online content is more easily navigated.
Half the time I can't tell if I'm getting a demo or a film preview or what... Now if you'll excuse me, I smell fanboi on the way... *dons asbestos undies* There we go. Nice and snug!
And that's why I'm Pagan and made up my own gods, damnit. If something is gonna be real to only me, it might as well reflect something I find pleasing!
And no, you guys can't have my gods! They're busy making my coffee flavorful and my tea delicious! I think another one is defragging my hard drive, I dunno, that light has been solid green forever now...
PS - I really am Pagan, heh. Gotta be able to laugh at oneself.
Apparently Dell was generating documents with unique sets of typos in order to be able to track down the identify of the person who leaked a document. Either that, or Dell has taken the 'million monkeys at a million keyboards' approach to producing technical manuals!
Exactly.
Just the other day, I had a fast food burger, and the terrorists left out the pickle. If ever there was a call to arms, this is it! I'm with you brother!
These days everything is a terrorist attack...Cause you know, I guess it's better to live in uninformed fear than to point out something foolish, cause the later would be unpatriotic and something terrorists do! >.>
In American litigation (which I've been working in since 1974)... Not to make you feel old, but man, that's like 5 years before I was born! That's some dedication right there. Course, I'm also just some random young punk... >.> Keep up the good work man!

Truly honest act? Please.

There *IS* one uber-predator. Look in the mirror.
Damn! That thing his hideous! Why the hell haven't we tracked this thing down and killed...it...

Secret of Mana was another good one...
