This is on a I5 imac. 4 gigs ram, and mobility 4850 (LOL). And this piece of crap runs crysis 2 very smoothly at 2560x1440! Pics: <img src="http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg151/Zellio2008/2011-03-22_00011.jp

I would suggest against talking sense in this topic polynomial. Esp. after people are saying that: Amazon.com, WHICH HAS IT'S OWN DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION SERVICE, is not competition to Steam. Direct2drive is not competition. Gamersgate is not competition. Gogamer.com, WHICH HAS IT'S OWN DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION SERVICE, is not competition to Steam. Gamestop.com ALSO HAS IT'S OWN DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION SERVICE and

These attacks began in 2007, and the oil companies only knew about it when McAfee made a report? Why are people worried about this connecting to an internet off switch? It's all oil company related, which means it's either bullshit or the oil companies are fucking retarded, and either way it'll end up with higher gas prices.

Lightning is actually why some studios release two versions of a game - one colorful for America and one more darker for Europe and rest of the world.[/quote] LOL, is that why Japan is the master of Anime while we created film noir?

Thats the ipad talking frogboy, you've gone soft. It starts with not wanting to upgrade. Then the voice of Jobs will command you and next thing you know you are annoying people about mac products, wearing black turtleneck and jeans, and all your pcs are white. The only reason games don't push the envelope is due to piracy and the 360/ps3. With that said, their is still plenty of reasons for getting better cpus and more ram.

Hai guys, it's been awhile! This is my 'playpen', also known as my bedroom. It's not exactly useable yet, but people have accused me in the past of not having usable stuff, so why not post it ;) Yes, the tv has tape on it... I got a 36 inch crt off of craigslist FREE, which either has an issue with the power board inside or speaker

This discussion is simply going in circles. I won't be discussing morals after this comment, but again I will say that i only treat you like I would expect to be treated if I was a crock, so by definition I follow the rule. You can choose to believe that you do nothing bad, and it's pretty obvious you are going to make excuses for yourselves and your actions that you inflict on your fellow man. With that said everything in thus discussion has become one sided. I will concede that I've been

I agree with you (surprisingly?) kenata. The punishment should fit the crime. The same crime should have the same punishment. Stealing a $1 song should never cost $4000....

I do find it funny that people who are jumping on my golden rule blurb are basing their entire arguments on NEEDING MONEY JUST TO HAVE MORALS. So if you have money, you buy things, if you don't then you suddenly have the rights to take what you want? And as far as the golden rule is concerned, if someone broke into your house and stole things they would be different in your eyes then what you do. You make excuses for yourselves and try to pass yourselves off as non thieves

[quote who="SpaghettiMon" reply="135" id="2859407"]The fact that you think copyright infringement is theft speaks volumes about your ignorance of the very laws you're advocating for. Major corporations who own intellectual property continuously lobby our government to make it theft, but it really isn't. They are also trying to get rid of any sort of public domain or public benefit from copyright. You see it used to be that the government provided copyright protection under the agreement

Nothing has changed as far as how commerce is managed. I would definitely argue that digital goods are worth less then physical, but this argument isn't based around how valuable digital goods are, it's based on IF they have any value at all! And sorry to say, but if someone makes a product that you like, they deserve to live. Whatever you guys thought I am, I am most definitely a 'moral crusader'. I also pull no punches.

[quote who="Delmoroth" reply="114" id="2858911"]Dark Knight, while I agree that anyone who commits a crime should accept the possibility of punishment for that crime your argument seems a bit silly to me. As far as I can tell you are saying that no one should argue about the severity of a punishment if they have ever committed a crime. I suppose you think that no one who has committed such a horrendous crime as going a mile over th

With all of this said, I will not go thru life expecting handouts. If someone is good I buy it, if not I don't go and grab it. I know the rules, and if something happened the only way that the law would truly help me is if I was innocent. If having a Batman avatar became illegal I would remove it.

And btw, just as an FYI... The law protects you in more ways then you seem to think. Private financial gain is also something companies/entities like the RIAA use when they price items at a certain price and then try to blackmail you to pay a certain price. A federal offense is a federal offense; using a federal offense for private financial gain would be a criminal act if criminals weren't already criminals and could get someone to listen.
