And yet you write for a site that thinks "Blogger with big cock can't get dates." is an entertaining read.

Jesus Christ facepalm.

It's reaching a bit to make a balls joke out of that.

#whatareyou10yearsold?

Now if it was called ballslapper......

I'll forgive because the game wasn't shit. Give yourselves a break.
No. I like to keep my games in the best condition possible and the people I know that like to borrow games don't. I also don't like chasing people around for my shit. It's good thing all of my gamer friends are adults so that issue doesn't come up too often.
Sounds interesting.
I think love triangles are usually written too poorly to be interesting.
Green Man is awesome. I got the Deus Ex:HR Aug. Edition for 37 bucks the day it came out. Better yet, I was able to get the Steam code for it. That game turned out to be pretty awesome as well.

So much win.

Jesus. That kids dad is a textbook dickhole. And to make matters worse, he has terrible taste in games. After the ridiculous holiday season we just had, Dead Island is the best he could do?
6 months is not forever, dude. Cut them some slack. At least they did something and went back to the roots of the series. Not only that they are getting Firaxis to do it.

I'd say that's a win, wouldn't you? They could have been like EA an not given a shit.

Oh shit wait what? Peace out bro.

Steven is running the joint now? I can live with that.

I love this show so goddamn much. The writing is sharp and all of the characters play off each other tremendously well. I just caught the first ep of the second season and it is just as good as ever. I can't wait for the Hounds of the Baskerville.

Now where's my second Episode of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency?

Everything IS connected you know.

The 5 activation limit was the compromise. The original DRM was a always on disk check or something.They switched it to the 5 activations and they allow you to run the game without the disk.
"This form of DRM should not be spoken lightly of as it significantly reduces our ownership of the games we pay to enjoy."

Amen Brother. Amen.

The guy from EA support kept saying "this game is kind of old, that's why you are having issues with the serial key"

This is troubling. EA should not be determining the shelf life of their games AFTER a purchase. That's total bullshit. I have games that I can play that I bought 10 years ago. Mass Effect is BARELY 4 years old.

I've installed Mass Effect 4 times since release day. That's one installation per year, I think that's reasonable.I've supported the game since day one.

1. I don't need EA telling me how many times I can install a game I purchased.
2. Pirates don't have activation limits. The only people that this is affecting is someone that legally bought the game.

In other words their shitty DRM does not work.

It's so great to see that somebody can play an EA game without having to go through multiple verification checks and other bullshit hoops just to play their games.

EA and companies that put an abusive amount of DRM on their games just make a very compelling reason to pirate.

I just bought DA 2 today for 5 bucks from Amazon (Thanks Moneysaver!)

1. Before I could install the game I had to input a CD key (cool, I could live with that)
2. Once the install was finished, I had to go through a "release date" verification (WTF?)
3. Then I was told that my email address didn't match another verification check (retype CD Key)
4. Once the game finally launched I had to login AGAIN to EA/bioware servers

Seriously? What the fuck is wrong with EA?

This is after spending an hour and a half with EA support on Christmas because I ran out of the allotted activations (5) for Mass Effect and could not play the game. They had to give me a new serial key. This is a game that I have a physical copy w/with CD key that I bout from a retail store when the game came out..

Not to mention how they are consistently screwing people out of their money by removing content or disabling games that people paid for.

People think Activision is bad, EA is the fucking WORST.

And again EA Origin proves just how irrelevant they are buy letting everyone else offer better deals on their games than they do.
That's pretty much how I felt. But it's "crash to desktop".
Holy SHIT. Is that why I was actually able to play a game today without a CTD?

Sweet.

Oh, so then it can be seen as a confirmation then?
Powered by Playstation....

Is that a bit of foreshadowing about the battery life?
