Took me a few minutes to figure out how to use the steamworks thing too but its still pretty easy and quick.

Didn't Nintendo kinda try some stuff like this? Cross platforming with their own systems? Anyway it sounds like a bad idea to me, but hey I don't buy their products so I guess it doesn't matter.

If I had an apple in each hand and told you that the one in the left hand was free then said the one in the right costs $5 and I get to kick you in the testicles, which apple would you be more likely to take? Companies like EA spend a lot of time and effort developing code to protect their...

Really you need examples? You can throw a grain of sand and hit a dozen examples. I'm probably being trolled here but.. 1. Gay marriage still morally wrong in many peoples eyes but currently happening more and more. 2. The sexual revolution of the 60-70's. 3. The abolition of...

I would argue that most laws are based on practicality. I could tell an officer that breaking into a house was moral and if he shared my view strongly he would let me go. Morals change quite often, and they are simply a reflection of current public opinion in a given area.

Not sure If I would say that pirates are a minority. Personally I don't think I've ever met a person who hasn't pirated at least one song. Also morality and law are really two different things. Morals are things you follow because you feel that they are the right thing to do. Laws you must...

I was thinking about doing this myself but the thing is I want it on steam I don't want an origin copy so I will probably just add bioware to my growing list of developers I don't do business with anymore. The reason I like Steam was that it consolidated all my games into one place hell I've...

I'm going to give the same advice I'd give a person who hates their job. If you are not ok with the way the relationship is going start looking for a replacement but you don't need to quit your current one right away. To me that seems like pretty much what she is doing to you anyways, shopping...

What do you have a degree in? Yes it's probably a good idea to use an employment agency if they work in a similar way to how my employer does. My field of work is probably fairly unique but I can say that I work for a consulting company that finds contracts and then finds people to fill them...

I can't believe some people think there is a moral issue here. We are arguing over whether or not you should be able kill people that don't exist. The only reason you should have moral problems with killing imaginary people is that you have trouble telling them apart from real people, and in...

So let me see if I got this straight. Blizzard is bad because they made you pay them for years of entertainment? To be fair $15 a month is a way cheaper hobby then anything else I can think of. As for SC2... I can't say I was thrilled that they were releasing it in three installments but...

Last spring I chased a black bear out of my parents yard, on foot and unarmed. That bear was such a coward.

I got hacked really bad once made the mistake of checking my email in a hotel lobby. There was a keylogger on that comp and they used my email to request new passwords for a bunch of different things. To prevent most hacking atempts you can run addons like noscript for firefox.

Since I don't have stealth detection I probably wouldn't do so great against a lurker. Plus as a civilian I only have 40hp and a lurker does 20 damage a hit with no upgrades, so at best I could take two hits before I died.

You are barely moving at all don't worry about it. You can get new friends anyways. I mean how many friends do you still talk to everyday that you did 10 years ago. They come and go. Get your ass on a boat or a plane and go start your new job, if it sucks you can always go back home.
