I hate suits. They don't 'suit' me. ;P

NO idea who Rarity and Twilight Sparkle are though.

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.

Making coffee and breakfast.

Hey! Y'all can call me Lash. I've been creeping the forums since they began and am just now getting the courage to socialize...

Any way, I'm from Canada and my hobbies include video games, rockclimbing and procrastination.

Welcome to Accursed Farms, Lash.

I plan on playing this once I upgrade, though I'll probably use mods. I like the idea of a survival setting where it's more in your interest to avoid hordes of zombies rather than try and mow down every one you can find.

Yeah, I agree it's an intriguing concept. But so far I'm not sure the execution is done well...

Just watched FM 40. Drinking some orange soda.

Good job, Ross. I no longer have any ass. I laughed it off!

And yeah, I dunno why, but those hiccups cracked me up.

Very cool! You should change your username to SHODAN just to complete it.

Yeah, way too short overall.

Pinkie Pie = Kaweebo

Applejack = Psychotic Ninja

Rainbow Dash = Username

Should clarify things for ya.

Epic.

Going to bed.

Yeah, he is!

Fixed the embedded youtube video for you. Looks pretty stylish and retro. I like the kinda neon style of it.

It's gonna be an epic movie. ;P

So, instead of making a teleporter we basically made a giant green plasma cannon that kills everyone in the vicinity. Maybe we shouldn't use Windows 95 on the next test.

And agreed about WWIB's avvy.

Yep, Steam and Origin have eliminated the need for desktop icons for me, and my most used apps I just keep in the taskbar. I just put icons there for show, mostly.
