  1. Banned and deleted. Move on.
  2. I'm so hipster, I had a crush on Johnny Depp before Pirates of the Caribbean. (I really do, I think he played some of his best roles long before that movie, anyone seen Ed Wood?)
  3. 10/10 White line is okay. Should be pink though.
  4. I use HD mp4 format in Vegas when exporting movies, at least. It's the most common.
  5. Eating ramen with chicken flavour
  6. That's why I played through ME1 before ME2. I stayed faithful to Kaidan so I think some stuff will happen in ME3.
  7. Brainfart. XD
  8. Waking up and making coffee.
  9. Now you need a Pretty Hate Machine t-shirt as well and you'd be even cooler in my book.
  10. I hate suits. They don't 'suit' me. ;P
  11. NO idea who Rarity and Twilight Sparkle are though.
  12. Most games and movies nowadays can usually be found cheap on sales and such, so I don't see much reason to pirate mainstream stuff. Even TV shows are being released direct to DVD and BD and you can find those in bargains. But yeah, I definitely agree that for a lot of abandonware, there simply is no other solution, especially for obscure titles. A lot of movies from the 80's are near impossible to find on DVD or BD, and in some cases, the pirate versions are actually of better quality because the companies mess up the product. In the case of music, does anyone remember when they put in copy-protection on CD's? Some players couldn't read the discs, on PC you were left with shitty audio quality, and it really messed up the albums that YOU paid for and that YOU might want to listen to on your mp3 player. it basically has lead to more and more companies refusing to use copy protection nowadays because they realized that it just caused more piracy because people got fed up with it and stopped buying CD's. If anything contributed to the decline of CD sales, copy protection is to blame, not the advent of digital sales really. The basic lesson here is that honest consumers are being treated like criminals, in the worst cases I would say anti-piracy measures create more pirates than they stop. Besides, this is not a new thing. When VHS recorders became affordable, people started copying VHS tapes, and when audio cassettes became available, people recorded music off the radio or their own records and shared and it became a trend to make mixtapes. People will always find ways to pirate stuff, but PUNISHING CONSUMERS for buying your product is NOT helping.

  16. Making coffee and breakfast.
  17. Welcome to Accursed Farms, Lash.
  18. Yeah, I agree it's an intriguing concept. But so far I'm not sure the execution is done well...
