    Piracy, simply put.

    So is it against the rules of the forum admit to breaking the law or... is this discussion too heavy for The Escapist even though piracy is an incredibly relevant topic to gaming? Or are you actually mad because it's repetitive?

    I play Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for half an hour

    I am 100% convinced the OP is making up his entire story, and that'll be my only post in the thread folks :) If you don't have even enough patience even for the meager beginning of this game then you will spend the rest of your time as a "gamer" missing out on hundreds of experiences you...

    Which cancelled games did/do you want to see made?

    UO2 and UXO Played UO for several years, then as it was diminishing the market projections showed the game market for MMOs to be pretty much saturated. Not long after UO canceled any thoughts of a sequel, WoW shattered the MMO world. Also around that time a game called Wish by Mutable...

    Jimquisition: Too Cool To Be Cool

    Dear Jim, I watched the first two videos of yours and wasn't really feeling it, while I found your words mostly interesting there was to much staring at you and not enough shots of games and such. Watched some more recent episodes and that has been fixed a bit, less staring at you talking...

    The old belt (Parents using violence to correct you)

    Now I am no parent yet, though I have some friends that are, and I suspect you are not a parent either. But its my guess that it'd be impossible to raise a child without some negative reinforcement, be it spanking and not. Also you say "necessary to hit a child" but that's really difficult...

    need a game suggestion

    Borderlands is indeed pretty fun and I quite enjoyed my first playthrough with my buddy, THAT SAID After my first play though I was ready to be done with the game primarily because of the absolute lack of balancing coupled with the unsatisfactory ending. Now I know the game wasn't a...

    Poll: Prostitution should it be legal?

    You make a remarkable point (thus my remarking on it) that I haven't ever thought of, and I'm the sort that HATES contradicting or unenforceable laws.

    Why did Warhammer mmo 'W.A.R.' never become big?

    I think they tried to hard to copy WoW, which they did an excellent job of, but unlike what Rift seems to be doing they did not add enough freshness and improvements on their original clone material. My 2 cents, played the game for like 3 months, some friends played it for a longer, all quit...

    The old belt (Parents using violence to correct you)

    I think the issue here is that no one should be allowed to do anything to their child that will cause permanent damage. And while psychological damage can be quite difficult to qualify I think there is at least enough evidence to state that spanking a child within reason does not always cause...

    Japan disaster, no looting? Do we in the west need to re-evaluate our opinions of Japanese society?

    I have studied a fair amount of Japanese history, ancient and modern. I find the fact that there was no looting not surprising in the least, and though my professors would be appalled to hear me say this; the Japanese people are very conformist and on the brighter side they have an incredible...

    Poll: Prostitution should it be legal?

    Even when prostitution is legalized, such as Las Vegas and surrounding areas, it continues to bread an atmosphere of objectification and abuse towards women. Currently I do not think it should be legalized, though I can imagine a time and place where it could probably be legalized with not...

    Are humans meant to be monogamous creatures?

    Meant to be by forces of.... nature? God? The Universe? Either way I think the answer is at least a supported yes. While there have been numerous polygamous cultures over the course of history the vast majority of human development has been generated from societies that at the least support...

    The old belt (Parents using violence to correct you)

    Wow this is full of pathetic twats. The rare and occasional spanking I got from my parents hurt less than the bone I broke in karate when I was NINE, and I effing had the time of my life in the class, before and after said bone break. Saying no child should experience pain is crazy. Now...

    Do Americans have a right to carry?

    The cop most certainly should have asked for the mans licence to carry, since it was offered.

    Your opinion on Fallout: New Vegas VS. Fallout 3

    New Vegas is better mechanically and functionally while FO3 had a much more compelling story, imo. I like learning the lore in New Vegas, seeing how the NCR has done since its creation in the first games, hearing news that the west has become humanity's stronghold. But in FO3 you are in a...
