    Playing It Properly

    I'm feeling exactly like this with Dishonored. All the warnings about rising chaos levels and dark endings has killed my ability to own my experience. I choose not to use my badass murder powers not for fun or out of empathy, but because of my slavish commitment to the "good" ending. If...

    Where does that closing quote from Harrison Ford come from? I'm curious about it's context.

    Jimquisition: When Piracy Becomes Theft

    Nope. Definition of theft cannot hinge upon whether not committing the act would help someone who needs it versus doesn't need it. Doesn't make sense.

    EA won't allow me to play BF3

    So this is how my conversation is going so far. It was five minutes before he said anything to me and ten minutes since the last thing he said.

    EA won't allow me to play BF3

    I played the beta just fine. I wonder if that's part of the problem. I'm waiting to talk to a live person right now. I'm thinking of just asking for a refund.

    Every time I try to log onto Battlefield's revolutionary Battlelog, I get the following message: "Your account is not allowed to login" I've checked around, and it seems that about a bajillion people are dealing with the same problem. EA support seems to be of the opinion that this is due...

    Bittorrent Judge Rules: You Are Not Your IP Address

    Apologies, I still don't quite understand. My thought is that your identity isn't tied to your IP if it were downloading games any more than if it were downloading pornography. I don't see where the restriction status (logically) fits in. Does anyone care to clarify? Edit: I just want to...

    Bittorrent Judge Rules: You Are Not Your IP Address

    Why? Is adult material not protected property? Are accusations of piracy to be handled with less or more gravity if they come from an adult media company? I don't see how it could be argued that tracking IPs in porno pirate cases is any different than other media piracy or even in hacking cases...

    Britain's Anti-Games Politician Says He's Pro-Games

    I lul'd. I absolutely agree. It's clear that this guy's idea of responsibility in the industry involves liberal application of the government Banhammer. The fact that he doesn't want to ban everything (i.e., games he likes) does not make him pro-games. I seriously wonder if his anti-game...
