...Fisto? *runs screaming to hills, like a little girl, to hide under a rock and welds a metal plate over his ass*
The monks singing was absolutely epic. "Does that order come with friars" was pretty good, too. Fairly lame, but I think by the look on Graham's face as he said it, he knew it >.>
This is without question one of my favorite ENN's *ever*. The monastic, Gregorian-like chant, the knife kill from across the level, the pwned noob that made the game glitch, the silent studies in the evening, the Illuminated MacBook, and to top it all off, "because Macs are shit for gaming". This was made of pure win, awesome episode!!!!
Fantastic pun at the end, but I thought you were joking about the Fallout New Vegas thing... now I know that you are not and I am scared.
And more jokes about Kinect is always great of course... Or is the Kinect a joke... hmmm.

My apologies in advance for trotting out a wet blanket, but:
"Plenty of other companies you could screw out of their profits."
Please do not lend even humorous credence to the myth that game publishers are "losing money" to rentals. Game rental has been part of the market landscape for... well, ever, and to suddenly start pretending it's a huge industry-threatening problem is, putting it kindly, disingenuous. First Sale Doctrine is clear: You get money off the first sale, and that's it. Anything that happens after that is none of your concern. That's how it's [em]always[/em] been, so stop acting surprised.
That said, I never buy anything from GameStop because their prices, even for the used stuff, suck.

The main article was the best one i've seen in a long, long time 
.
A bit sad you decided to open the horrible PC vs Mac can , but I guess it's only fair as normally consoles get all the flak.

Best pwn description ever?
"I pwned a noob. I pwned him so hard i glitched the game.. AND IN THAT GLITCH I SEEN THE HOLY LIGHT! So then i made a religion out of pwning noobs."

That was brilliant, love the chanting.
And if pun writing is lazy, that's the most awesome piece of laziness I've heard in months, Graham

Yay! Glad you spotted it.Amarsir said:

Now, I completely agree with you that once the product is on the market, lending/renting/used sales will (and should) happen. I buy many, many things second-hand, games included.ewhac said:
It isn't new, and I don't think it's an industry threatening problem. So we are nearly in total agreement.
However, to say that buying a used game over a new one doesn't affect the publisher is foolhardy.
Essentially, my issue is with companies like GameStop pushing used games over new because it makes them more money. Like when they run the promotions wherein you can buy a game at launch, and return it within that week for a full refund's worth of store credit. That money is their's now. GameStop then sells that game at nearly new price, as used.
They basically sell the same game to two people, brand new, within the launch window.
That's not a problem?
(BTW, I consider GameStop (et al) to be the ones 100% at fault in all of this. EA introduces Project $10 to encourage people to buy new over used, so GameStop raises their prices for new games. Like... fuck you, GameStop. Seriously.)
Unrelated, you must admit that it's weird for places like Best Buy and Wal*Mart to be selling used goods of any kind. Yet, somehow, games are ok. It's really odd.
