    What is your favorite insult?

    My personal favorite, from Space Quest 6: "Your words are so unspectacular, nature doesn't even see fit to grant it an echo."

    Skyrim Mods You Want to See

    There are a couple of things I'd like to see modded in: More Cooking Recipes - Most all the recipes for cooking involve meat and salt. With so many different food items in the game, like apples, wheat, lettuce, etc., it would be nice if you could make something more varied, like bread or...

    ACTA Passed, we failed.

    I know it's been said before, but the one thing that worries me about ACTA is that it could stop or restrict the sale of generic drugs and medications. Keep in mind that not everyone can afford brand-name drugs, so they rely on the generic products to get their medication. Maybe I'm...

    The Grey Areas of Piracy

    I don't care for DRM, but I understand why companies implement it. The big issue with DRM is that most of the time, it's not designed well, and can often times make it difficult to use a legitimate product. On top of that, it's made a bad name for itself, due to poorly designed DRM systems in...

    The Grey Areas of Piracy

    I agree with you that it's within a company's or creator's legal right to refuse the sale of a product in a certain area, or to re-release a product. But I don't always think that it's the smartest thing to do. Now I'm sure that someone will say that I am wrong in this reasoning, but from...

    The Grey Areas of Piracy

    Right, I know that. Maybe I wasn't clear in my post: I haven't pirated anything, and I'm not trying to declare that piracy is justifiable. It's just that I saw these points that someone had listed, and I wanted to see what other people's thoughts were on the subject. In regards to eBay, it's...

    The Grey Areas of Piracy

    In the Facebook Comments for the article 'Lawyer Destroys Arguments for Game Piracy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115015-Lawyer-Destroys-Arguments-for-Game-Piracy]', someone posted this: Piracy is never, ever, EVER a valid option unless one of the following applies: 1. The...

    Skyrim - Worth waiting for the GOTY Edition?

    Not very pinched at all, actually. I received a twenty-five dollar gift card for Amazon.com a while ago, so I could essentially buy it at half-price. That's a good point. I'm sure that it's definitely worth thirty-dollars, but I'll give it some more thought. Mostly, I worry that it'll be too...

    Skyrim - Worth waiting for the GOTY Edition?

    I've been thinking about buying Skyrim for the last day or so, since I've heard that Amazon is selling it with a slight discount this weekend. However, it seems that Bethesda always releases a Game of the Year edition for all of their games, and they usually sell at lower price, and include...

    Setting up a PS3 controller on Windows 7 64-bit

    Yeah, but as I pointed out in the OP, the MotionInJoy software is not exactly on the up-and-up. Apparently, the software needs to connect to a server, and download the driver files. The blog post that I linked to [http://blog.hardcoregaming101.net/2011/08/ps3-sixaxis-on-x64-windows-pc.html]...

    Setting up a PS3 controller on Windows 7 64-bit

    On my old computer (Vista 32-bit), I was able to use my PS3 controller to play games, through use of a SIXAXIS driver that I had found. However, I recently upgraded to a new computer (Windows 7 64-bit), and I was planning to get the PS3 controller set up again. Now I've been searching online...

    Sorry, I wasn't aware there were already threads and a newspost addressing the issue. My apologies. Thanks, Radeonx.

    Stop the IP Protect Act

    Earlier today, I came across a video discussing the IP Protect Act, which, put in simple terms, is the S.978 bill made a thousand times worse. I strongly urge everyone reading this to watch the video, and see how the bill can be stopped. Here's the link to the video: ALERT: Protect IP Bill...

    Poll: Comic Sans: what do you think of it.

    As a web graphic design student, I don't think I need to tell anyone that I really hate Comics Sans (though I suppose I just did.) A while back, I found this site: Why You Hate Comic Sans [http://www.kadavy.net/blog/posts/why-you-hate-comic-sans/] which gives a detailed explanation about the...

    Classic PC Gaming through Virtual Machines

    Lately, I've been doing some research on how to set up Oracle VM Virtual Box [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html] to run Windows 98 so I can play some of the older games that I own. Now I'm not asking for a full set of instructions (mainly because...
