Go ahead. Fry your brain. It's not like you're using it or anything.
I prefer to bake my brain. Apparently baking is better then frying.

Chuckle. Anyone who has been playing PC games ( and console games for that matter ) knows that within a month of launch, you can expect one or more patches to fix the product they rushed out the door to meet some deadline. Guaranteed.
I'm pretty much done with jumping through all the hoops for this. If you want to make it a pain in the ass just to play it, then I just won't play it. Pretty simple really.
Not that they care as they have legions of folks who are willing to put up with the BS to play at any cost, but in time they too will become jaded with the system and become ex-gamers as well.
Steam seems to have finally got it right in my opinion. I have zero issues with that platform now and the majority of my games come from there.
Then download the crack for it and don't use Origin. I never use Origin on any games that require it, because there is always a crack that will fix that.
Pirate groups do a lot of necessary cleanup already. For example, they made it possible to play the latest Sim City at release day, something that was not possible when you bought the game instead of copying it.
No piracy made the latest Sim City game playable at launch. Sad part is at least 4 idiots modded you up on false info.
Sim City was pirated a bit after launch, first I think by someone who figured out you didn't need to be connected to play, but still had no way to locally save files.
Not sure where it is at now, don't care really, but it was NOT pirated the day it was lauched, in fact, very few games are pirated the day they are launch, usually takes a few days.
>>(35GB of uncompressed audio)
> It was so that lower spec PCs can run it.
OMG have you thought your answer through? that would be effective only for a PC which is powerful enough to manage the graphics and engine and does not spare the cycles for audio.
Given that a 166mhz pc from twenty years ago effortlessly decoded mp3s in realtime, that in the meantime people have improved decoders, encoders, formats that audio playing is parallelizable, that uncompressed audio requires uncompressed IO, I think "aliens wanted that" is a better explanation. The best of course being that a 45gb game is less piratable than a 10gb one.
Except the pirates will compress the audio for quicker downloads.
Wish I had mod points, I'd moderate you "informative".
You would if you made more interesting remarks than this.
Wish I had mod points, I'd moderate you "insightful".
I wish I had mod points, I'd moderate you "Underrated". Your comment has a je ne sais quoi.
I do have mod points and I would of modded you Funny, but I posted instead!
There's one issue with Linux game sales that I hope these publishers keep in mind. There are a lot of games that they're porting to Linux, where I already bought a copy of the game for Windows. If there had been a Linux version at the time, I would have bought that instead.
So I hope they don't get the wrong idea when I don't buy certain games. If in the future I know a game I want will be released on Linux within a reasonable time, I'll hold out.
This is the engine they are currently using for upcoming/current games, not the old one they used for the older games. What it should mean is that they would have linux version of the games when they have windows (and the various consoles).
But I agree with you about porting older games.
So, what do I need a 300GB, when I can go to Fry's and get 4TB drive and just plug it in?
storing stuff on hard drives is NOT backing up.
It's playing Russian roulette with your data.
It's not the government. These people have access to all the modern conveniences via their jobs. They have chosen not to learn anything about them which would be O.K. if it wasn't critical to their job performance.
Maybe it's time to have education requirements for senators, congresspeeps, Ambassadors and anyone who has to deal with laws or other countries. They would be required to keep up with what is going on in the world, tech, social and whatever. Anything less is just hurting us in this day & age, seeing as the world (tech wise, and whatever) moves faster then it did back when.
Oh ya, drug test those peeps also so they can see what it's like for us.
That's not true at all.
The dollar has value. It has government backing, it has protection for consumers, it is globally recognized, and pretty stable.
That is more valuable then gold.
That is more valuable then gold? No it's not.
When the US Government collapses, what is the value of the dollar then? Ya, nothing.
Gold's value doesn't drop when governments do.
Some people like to contribute something to a site they visit frequently. For some, it is giving ad views. I had AdBlock disabled for this site for quite a while, however, I turned it back on when I first saw the beta.
If you don't click on those ads, having AdBlock disabled doesn't do shit to help the site.
I find it hard to believe that someone else mined a million coins (6% of the total), lost their private key, and never mentioned it on the internet after they became worth a billion dollars.
Who would believe them?
about my death?
As long as I can remember (that includes Captain Kangaroo and the Watergate Hearings), I've known I'm going to die, and it's never worried me that much.
No, I don't want to die, but it's gonna happen whether I want it to or not, so no use getting my tits in a twist about something I can't prevent.
I have never been worried about dying. Honestly, I thought most people were mostly scared to die because of religious reasons.
While I'm not suicidal, I am looking forward to seeing what happens after I die.
I'm guessing either nothing happens, and I don't exist anymore, that I wake up hooked up to some simulation, or reincarnation (which doesn't mean I'm not in a simulation, I could be in a simulation that starts you over in another life.)
Either way, I have no control over it and it's going to happen, so I'm cool with it.
Yes, or the Bangles cover which is a damn fine version of the song, which was used in the film"Less than Zero" thus explaining the reference.
The song is called "A Hazy Shade of Winter"
Hawken & Path of Exile are pretty damn good too.
Marvel Heroes is very fun to play, and a better Diablo II/III clone then Diablo III and Path to Exile.

Free to play, and you can get everything in the game as drops, 'cept for storage space. And I don't mind buying more storage space, the game is fun.
Can you play Pete Wisemans Klondike on it?
Say did you know that Jonathan Potter and Greg Perry are still developing Directory OPus (for windows, now up to version 11.
It started off as Shareware for the Amiga (V2 was on Fish Disk 212)
Because of DOpus on the Amiga, I own a copy of it on my windows. Very much used piece of software. In fact, probably the only piece of software I've used for over 20 years on various machines (and of course, various versions).
Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
