Oh boo fucking hoo. You get a news post once every 10 or so hours. Is it really that hard to see "Oh, something about Eve, I should ignore it since I don't like it", but no, instead you go "WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK!?!?!?!?!?! THIS SHIT SHOULDN'T BE ON MY FORUM!!!!!!!! I'MA GO ***** AND...

Umm, no. That can't be done since Microsoft's assets are distributed among thousands of people with no single person able to access all of them. This can be done in Eve by restricting what permissions you give them. BoB gave Haargoth the keys to the empire and said "Have fun!", they then went...

Baldur's Gate 1&2, Fallout 1&2, Arcanum, Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines, Planescape: Torment, System Shock 2 (although that's more atmospheric than compelling), Deus Ex. Fallout 3 has plot holes large enough to drive the Enterprise through, Mass Effect is the same as all Bioware stories...

The phrase "glittering gems of hatred" was used to insult the Fallout fanbase by a goon. I don't like being insulted. It's like someone calling a black guy a "******" and then getting all pissed off at him being insulted because other black people use the word "******" between themselves. If...

We were discussing certain sections of the game being blocked off because you chose a response that pisses an NPC off. We were not discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the dialogue tree system. Until a customizable AI with variable personalities, word recognition/response construction is...

1. You don't like choice and consequence. Gtfo. If I insult some prick because he's evil, he's not gonna ask me to blow up a town. 2. Fallout 1 and 2's main quest wasn't "linear", you had 3 objectives in 1, 2 of which are necessary and 2 in the 2nd, 1 of which is necessary. It wasn't "Go...

It most definetly is not stealing. No physical product was removed, depriving someone else of using it. It is copyright infringement, a digital copy was made of the original, the original is still in the owner's hands. @shatnershaman, don't you love how they claimed that each downloaded copy...

The difference between 40 and 60 first aid is how much time you waste failing at first aid. The difference between 90 and 110 outdoorsman is the inevitable rape at the hands of an Enclave patrol or Deathclaw family or avoiding them completely. The difference between 80 and 120 science is whether...

...what has piracy got to do with cracking an iPhone so you can run whatever you want on it or use it on any network? This is low, even for Escapist.

The sad thing about this, is the filters that work, slow down your connection speed by up to 85% and the ones that don't filter anything slow it down by 3%, we're fucked either way.

Because publishers give them money to do so.

Why is punishment the answer? Why not make the sold copy more valuable (I dunno, useless crap like figurines, badges, dogtags, a piece of the berlin wall) than the pirated (digital only) copy? Copying is not stealing. Stealing involves me removing property from someone, copying is me making...

http://www.stardock.com/about/newsitem.asp?id=1095 Specifically the first part. As in "that video game enthusiasts can expect from Stardock". The difference being, once you've bought a product from Circuit City, they remove the anti-theft devices. When you buy a game with DRM on it, that...

They're not arguing whether or not the parents shouldn't let kids play games not rated for them, they're arguing whether or not the parents shouldn't let kids play games not suitable for them, big difference.
