Given that the majority of serious pirates aren't lost revenue as they wouldn't have bought what...

    269: The Pasty White Person Is King

    So I tried out the Fable 3 villager creator and when I tried to make a villager of either gender I was presented with the option of 3 "black" faces. In fact of the 9 faces I had a choice between either time 3 were "White-British" 3 were "Black" and 3 were "White Other" to use the UK government...

    Smile and Nod: RealID and Why Hate Speech is the Least of Our Worries

    So the basic point is: Blizzards RealID system would have made it harder for human failures who spend too much of their time in a fantasy world with no bearing whatsoever on reality to keep up their pathetic escapism and might have forced them to consider some important (if difficult) life...

    A quick question about college/University.

    It is possible normally to attend one or two if you happen to have a friend on the course. Most lecturers will quite like it. The problem will actually be more getting into the right part of the right building at the right time rather than actually them minding.
