Yeah, if they wanna look at my pirated tentacle rape porn and lesbian hentai, sure, go ahead. In all seriousness though, Origin might have a bad reputation, but as long as it doesn't crash my computer, I'm fine.

Well, I'm pretty excited about Syndicate, the upcoming FPS from EA. I preordered it today. I dunno about you, but the idea of being able to hack into people's brains and make them do shit against their will makes me grin evilly. And I guess the game will pretty much invent cyber vampyrism since you rip people's chips out of their brains in order to upgrade yourself. So I think both EA and Activision are capable of publishing good games. And while Activision sure gets most of their cash from Call of Duty, they publish a lot of different games. And developers depend on a publisher like Activision because you need major publishers to keep people under one roof and working, nobody will work for free on such huge projects, and you need them to do the marketing so people can get to hear about it.

It's bullshit, and this is all a big misunderstanding blown out of proportion. It's actually Windows 7 doing a routine index scan whenever Origin changes some settings in order to assure the games will run perfectly, kinda like how Steam changes the Steam folder access privileges so that Windows won't fuck with it and cause games to run badly. When Windows runs an index scan, this will show up in certain glitches, affecting Aero and such. I believe that some guy saw this and incorrectly assumed Origin was spying on his files. Origin isn't spyware, but if you wanna believe it is, fine with me. And even if it was, I doubt EA would bother using your files against anything. They're a video game publisher and want to offer a good service to their customers. People are just being suspicious because they are using their own platform and it's something new. It's just a conspiracy theory blown out of proportions, nothing more. People need to stop being so paranoid just because they have no idea how Windows 7 works. And finally, this is a thread for people who actually use Origin. If you don't, don't post here.

I think they are making quality products and that's something I appreciate.

I haven't experienced any of that yet, so I guess they fixed it.

It's so ironic how their anti-piracy methods actually encourage piracy.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they'll do in the future. With other developers there might be chance for a new spinoff product, especially with Activision wanting yearly releases. I personally liked Black Ops a lot, so I'd love to see more of that, especially with the multiplayer from MW3.

I'm barely using it, but I think it's nice to build up a friends list since I will be using it for Syndicate.

I'd watch it even if it was only half-assed. I'm such a whore for Ross' work. I love everything he does.

I did.

There really is no limit to the imagination, and as long as there is something to comment on, there's fuel for comedy.

Try relogging?

Damnit, ninja... 1146

I think they add just enough to keep it interesting.

9/10 Would seriously prefer an actual person rather than just a logo.

Sounds interesting.

I go to All Programs\MinGW\, and the only thing that's there is the uninstall file! What the hell am I even doing? Edit: Turns out you need to tell the installer to install the shell, which happens to be the only way of using the program. Who knew? Bad installer programming at its finest. Drinking some morning coffee.

Found no results for that name.

Yeah, that looks much better. <3

I guess I'm spoiled by game series that attempt to innovate between each installment. Doing the same exact same thing again, but doing it a little better, just doesn't cut it for me. But then you are basically criticizing the franchise, not MW3 as a standalone product. For me, MW3 is a great standalone product, if you look at it apart from the other games. I agree that it doesn't really do any innovations but then again... doing too much new stuff at once can, and has ruined a franchise.
