Most of us comb our own neckbeards, you insensitive clod!

I dunno, I'm actually half-tempted to buy this game because they're taking the inevitability of piracy, and getting a little bit of humour out of it. That and, unlike the two companies you've mentioned, the developers of this game are not actively prosecuting pirates. If anything, they're rewarding you for pirating... if you like pirate-themed games.

I dunno, I use a PS2 controller for the vast majority of my emulation, and a modified Super Famicom controller for, well, Super Famicom/SNES games (and pretty much every other 8-bit/16-bit system, for that matter).
Point is, the PS2 controller suffices for Ocarina of Time (although using Wii64 with a classic controller on my modded Wii is my preferred method of playing N64 games these days).

I'd have to agree there, with some notable exceptions, Square-Enix's only good games post merger have been new IPs (The World Ends With You being the most notable) and... Dragon Quest. That's it.

This is, of course, excluding their constant re-releases of older games (mostly FF, Dragon Quest and a whole host of Square's PS1 games).

Exactly. I should probably have pointed that out in my comment. Still amuses me greatly that it's newsworthy when people *gasp* lie on the internet.

Kinda. The rules state nobody under 18 can browse 4chan, not that this is much of a deterrent for any actual underage users - the sensible ones just don't outright state their age.

Kind of like what they did on Myspace a few years back; and what kids do on facebook now. Then again, this is to be expected - most age-verification attempts online are quite pathetic in the grand scheme of things and can be subverted by any idiot.

I'd have to agree with that. My first thoughts when reading the title were "I hope to god they make something to do with the Rabbids". Even better if Ancel oversees the creation of a Rabbids movie/series. Failing that, a Beyond Good and Evil movie would be fantastic, too.

Thing is, a retail boxed copy of the game comes bundled with DLC. About $15 worth of it, no less. And when you're already paying $50 for a game, I can't think of a reason to not download the $15 of content they're withholding from you otherwise. Not that I've bought anything by Bioware in a good few years. I was half-tempted to buy DA:O, too, but so much for that.

Or you don't see the advertisements in the first place because you use a proper browser with decent advertisement blocking. Either way, in this day and age, you can avoid pretty much every scam or advertisement with a little bit of common sense.

Funny that you mention that... lots of game companies are, shall we say, less inclined to include documentation with their games these days. I can name at least 5 games in my collection where the "manual" is less than 10 pages (three of which are published by Activision, no less); and this is excluding all the PC games that forego a paper manual for a PDF file on the disc. Now, I understand that companies have got to look after their profits; but when Nintendo can include a 100-or-so page manual (that serves as a quick guide to the first few hours of gameplay) with Dragon Quest 9, you really have to wonder why other companies put next to no effort in to their own documentation.

Going back to the point where PC games usually just have a PDF manual on disc - I can sympathise with why people would pirate games like that. Why buy it when you can torrent it and get exactly the same product, manual and all? Of course, that could be my own opinion, since I love a good manual, but I'm more inclined to keep hold of a game (rather than just sell it on when I'm done) if the publishers at least gave enough of a damn to include a decent manual.

Creative software (music creation, video editing and so on) for Linux is pretty scarce (excluding proprietary in-house software used by companies like Pixar). I'd be inclined to say that this is because Linux users aren't very creative people, but considering some of the solutions I've seen for problems on the coding side of things (and some of the themes I've seen on Gnome-look.org), that's far from the truth. In reality, it's because companies in that market don't see the point in supporting what is, in the mass market, a niche operating system. So that's supporting a niche market within a niche market (linux users who need professional standard creation tools); far from a good idea.

No, this is an overdone reference to an internet meme.

Well, of course. Dehumanising your enemy is but one tactic to sway public opinion on an unpopular conflict. Another one I've seen happen is the implication that those who oppose conflict are "hippies" or "un-American". All it does is further add to an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, which is exactly what a government fighting (and wasting money) in an unpopular conflict wants. Of course, the whole "war on terrorism" is a flawed concept from the start; but that's a story for another time, when I'm considerably less lazy.

You're missing one. Literally. I know 1 isn't technically a prime, but we need at least one trick answer to throw people off. The rest of those answers are perfectly valid.

It's one of the most common MITM attack vectors, oddly enough. I cannot name any specific cases, but it's pretty common for a rather opportunistic person to create an ad-hoc "free wifi" network in a busy public place and steal whatever information unsuspecting users send through the network. People don't seem to realise it's not a bright idea to sign in to bank accounts, email accounts, paypal etc. on public terminals, either.

Not that I condone taking advantage of the technologically illiterate.
