    If a company doesn't provide a demo for a game is it ok to pirate it?

    there are two real answers to this. legally: you cannot, should not, never pirate a game, ever. morally: more flexible, but basically this: if you want to pirate a game with the intent to purchase it in a week, sure (my paycheck comes in a week, but I have free time NOW for ex). if your...

    Which misconseption annoys you more?

    the one that really grinds my gears is when people think that we live in the most horrendous time ever, and that things are just going from bad to worse now a days, when they are clearly not. no major wars since WWII, no major epidemics since WWI (Spanish Flu), longer average life span, higher...

    First game you got really good at?

    the first game I got really good at was SSBM. I went to local tourneys and such.

    Poll: I need to settle an arguement

    well it's a question of interface and style really (I am summarizing what people have generally) 3-d interface has the advantages of giving you an entire area to explore, while a 2-d interface is incredibly concise, and let's you do something very specific without cheaply hedging people in...

    The Geekiest Thing You've Done

    two things: one, I created an account ONLY to reply to this thread. the other: I was having a conversation online, and in real life. the person in real life told me a joke. and instead of laughing, I typed "lol". I did not once laugh, but I felt mirth. I feel no shame in doing anything from...
