I COULD have pirated this and left it to die in the tomb of the games I could forget. I COULD have paid $0.01 and deprived some devs and charity of some money. Instead, I went with the less cheapskate route of paying $4. Too good of a deal to pass up and it's kind of encouraging to see...

During a large fight or chase with several soldiers on you in Assassin's Creed II PC. Woulda been nice if they added the option to either start from where the connection dropped out or reload the last checkpoint.

A Command and Conquer clone on a sequel to a platformer. The mind boggles. Once actual footage of the LBP2 game editor shows up, I'm gonna pre order it. Though the bugs that'll arise from poorly made levels/games make me a bit skeptical, I'm still excited for the actual good levels/games.

"Leave No Rock Unturned" in Just Cause 2. Find 1000 resource items. Have fun with that grind.

I was playing Contra 4 once, and at the end of Stage 2, after I finished off the boss (never bothered to look up its name, but it's that alien creature that hits the platform you're standing on and chases you while you're falling), it started exploding... and never stopped. I literally left my...

Oi, I try and keep up my enthusiasm for AC2 PC launch day and now this. Now I'm wondering if the thing'll even work on launch day here in the US. What I never got about PC game companies that incorporate DRM: why do they publically announce DRM? It just ends up creating nothing but uproars...

Final Fantasy. I have a copy of every main game (earlier ones tend to be the remakes) except X and I'm not getting XIII.

I didn't care about the DRM incorporated in AC2 PC before. Now I do, because freezing for a couple of seconds in the middle of combat is NOT my idea of fun. Call of Duty 4 and MW2's autosave had this hilarious tendency to save when I was in the middle of a situation where I was about to die...

Over on this end, my game list is fine and I can access the store... but Community brings up a message saying that it's down for maintnence. Friends list (UI and overlay) says I can't make a connection to the Steam servers. Torchlight, L4D 1 and 2, and MW2 all report errors trying to sync with...

You have a point. I suppose if I didn't have the internet I have, I'd be on the complete opposite side of the issue. I was I never really did have a clear line between "theft" and "copyright infringement". I read into it and found pirating games to be the latter, not the former (unless someone...

...and why would I care about how it affects other people? If there's a bad trojan worm going around, why would I care? I've already got an internet security suite in that case, and here I have a a stable internet. Someone already made the point that most of AC2 is stuff Ubisoft Montreal had...

Feh, I don't care about the whole DRM scheme thing. I've already pre purchased AC2 through Steam and I knew full well about this whole DRM before I pre purchased it. The servers, if they ever shut down, will probably be shut down sometime within next year or beyond. I can beat AC2 and shelve it...

Stupid online names aren't exclusive to LIVE. Steam's chock-full of them, many of them often worse than the Xbox. Here's one I'll never forget: xxxxD34D4221NL1V32xxxx The excessive "x"s were enough, but a name composed entirely of l33t speak made me want to immediately retreat out of that...

Freeflow Combo 5 from Batman Arkham Asylum. I got this literally 1 minute after actually beginning the first thug fight in the game.

A few years ago, one day I noticed that my copy of Sonic CD for Windows had been taken from the house. It was right after a friend of mine had come over and I left him alone playing the game for a few minutes while I got something to eat. He left and I, again, noticed my copy of Sonic CD for...
