Glass-floored bathroom over a 15-storey lift shaft.

That would scare the shit out of me!

Maybe that's the point?

Maybe that was XMark´s point?

Maybe?

I realize that makes me a terrible person.

Feel free to hate me.


I had a better reply than this. But I musta quit the tab in my browser.

If you're gonna get in trouble for torrents, at least download a decent game.

[GENTLYPORKING]

I played some MW3 today because Steam is offering the multiplayer for free this weekend. Can't believe this is a new game... Not only a new game, but one where the multiplayer maps are TERRIBLE.
I'm done with this series.

I used to pirate games, and then I stopped playing my Dreamcast.

hah nice one.
I don't usually pirate games. Most times I torrent a game is to get a copy or a crack for games I own with Intrusive or inane DRM


MW3 was a case where I actually pirated something I didn't own because I didn't feel like it was worth 60$ for A DOWNLOAD. Activision's PC game prices are insane. (Historically PC games have always been slightly cheaper than console games and many still are. Only games from "Big Publishers" Push console prices on you.)
I guess the one chance I took was a mistake. *

Ridiculously easy console to pirate games on. Just like the Sega CD IIRC.

Good to know how Activision sits around all day monitoring Torrents. I guess they just can't settle for selling 6+ million copies! XD

Those heartless fucks! How dare they ask to be compensated for their hard work on what I understand to be a reasonably playable and enjoyable game! FUCK!

They can get compensated by the rich that buy the game, they have enough money to throw around and shake up in their X360 to get the RODD and get six more copies. (NOT RROD.

No, I disagree with this, you're just curious.
It's better to Viking a game than to buy it from disingenuous businessmen that deserve a fate worse than death, in my opinion.

I disagree, the multi-maps have gotten better since BlOps. Yeah, you can say that it's easier to hide, and harder to figure out; but isn't that the point?
You want Running multi-maps? Go back to Modern Warfare 2.

I play the CoD games solo on Veteran just for the thrill of it, have finished most of them that way and it's actually pretty enjoyable and challenging. Once you understand how cheap and annoying the system is, getting killed by any random stray bullet, you begin to understand how to properly use cover, hide, and also running and gunning is super fun and effective on MW3 campaign. Especially in hallways or tunnels where it's literally just a test of shooter skill / speed... almost like an old west gunfight, you shoot them before they can shoot you.

As for pirating, do it. I paid $40 for it around Christmas time, and it doesn't bother me at all that you'd pirate it. If you were pirating A Kingdom of Keflings, that would bother me, but this is not A Kingdom for Keflings.

As for pirating, don't do it. If not because of the immorality of it, then because of 17 U.S.C. §504©:

(1) [T]he copyright owner may elect [...] an award of statutory damages for all infringements involved in the action, with respect to any one work, for which any one infringer is liable individually, or for which any two or more infringers are liable jointly and severally, in a sum of not less than $750 or more than $30,000
[...]
(2) In a case where the copyright owner sustains the burden of proving, and the court finds, that infringement was committed willfully, the court in its discretion may increase the award of statutory damages to a sum of not more than $150,000.

So you don't pirate anything at all, Sam? Or view any copyrighted material on the net?

Not trying to call you out or anything, just wondering.. I mean you can pretty much load up any website, view an image there that is copyrighted that the site reproduced without consent, and probably be held liable... Then the copyright holders could find the graphic in your cache or whatnot.

Maybe that's a damned if you do, damned if you don't, viewpoint on the whole thing but I usually just consider us damned regardless if we use the internets. :shrug:

Also sorry for editing a couple times.

No, I don't pirate anything. But I can't help but view copyrighted material on the Internet, since just about everything on the Internet is copyrightable. Including this post. Seriously. But viewing copyrighted material on a computer is not coterminous with copyright violation. And I could easily lawyer my way out of "my computer inadvertently displayed an infringing image that someone else posted to his website."

Also, I think there's a fair number of programmers here, who generally aren't that sympathetic toward infringing copyrights. (There's obviously exceptions, but most programmers want some control over what they write, and most aren't hypocrites, IME.)

So you might find you're on the wrong end of a frown or two saying things like that, Brandon.
