You, sir, have been awfully creative this week. And let me say that I love it. This and the video were totally unexpected in the way that they were done and a very refreshing take on your reviews/ramblings. So thank you.

Nothing's wrong with that. That's not pirating. That is regaining a game you purchased. You deserve the game, and should not be punished for simply losing it. Even so, pirating is not evil. It's inconsiderate. The article never once attacks people for pirating. The author even admits to doing it...

I also find it ironic that the article specifically cites all of these petty excuses for piracy, which are not supported, and they are all being used in this thread. I'm not saying I'm perfect... but come on people don't lie to yourselves. You pirate cause you're able to. I do as well. It's not...

No. You, as well as many others in this thread, should have read the article before commenting (or at least a paragraph of it). This is not at all what the article is about, it's about the changing landscape of pc games and their business models because of piracy. It doesn't try to appeal to...

Thank you for posting this article. It has really opened my mind to the problems of piracy whereas before I had just blown them off, and deemed it not a big deal. It also has lead me to regain respect for ubisoft. When i first heard about their drm policy I was outraged and never wanted to...

there should be a modeler option.

Yes!!!!!

I've heard of Girls! My favorite song of theirs is Lust for Life... so amazing! As for unheard of band, well i could fill up a whole dissertation with them. But some big ones are Xiu Xiu, Ariel Pink, CocoRosie, and of Montreal (although they're pretty popular i think... right?).

How strange, the first time i ever came across this word was this morning, while reading The Golden Compass. And now this, it must be a sign.

I've decided to start building a time machine... see you in 2011.

You're missing the point. These thousands of independent games are designed by like-minded people. Think about it. Who wants to make flash games? People who like flash games (and/or want to make money off of it). So if someone already likes them, why on earth would they try and expand and appeal...

hahahaha it won best family game... I now love fantastic arcade

I enjoyed reading this. It was well written and covered the aspects of the game thoroughly. I was one of the people who loved it, and you helped to put the words into my mouth as to why. I've never really played anything like it, so the unnecessary combat and the lackluster plot didn't...

FFVII FFIX FFX Dota/Hon (this is easily the most, probably around 1000 hours) Guild Wars Oblivion And lastly... The Sims (the original)

Valve - for being amazing and hiring modders and everything and being amazing, i only own the orange box... but i couldn't possibly love them any more. Team Ico - for making Ico (yes sotc was awesome, but ico's where its at) Tale of Tales - for being radicals and going away from the norm...
