I get his point, but there's enough things in this world I have to suffer without because I wasn't born rich, and godamnit I am entitled to play a fucking video game And I'm sorry that Bethesda is gonna go bankrupt because a few thousand people didn't buy their game. I hope you realize that people who pirate games are a big minority.

They're not a minority in all cases. Piracy is a per game ratio. Bethesda was REALLY fucked in the ass by piracy on Oblivion, and the used a small bit of copy protection in this case because of it. You're finding smaller developers, such as Bethesda, are the ones taking the real hurt.

EA's not gonna miss the sale, but Bethesda is only being kept on the ground at this point by the Xbox sales.

 

[Dead Winter]

What the fuck dude. First off all pirating is the same, no matter what reason, yours is not any more justified than mine, it's even worse It's not done out of need, you just DON'T WANT TO or CAN'T AFFORD TO pay double for the version you want.

How is "I can't afford it, so I'm gonna rip it off of someone" worse than "I can't get the version I want here, so I'm gonna rip it off of someone." Honestly now.

I can't understand you because of all the fucking smilies.

In any case, I'm mainly talking about your attitude, and it's not just with pirating...because I've practically got a peg leg and a parrot on my shoulder. Pirating is the least of your worries. You have that attitude with everything..."fuck it, just steal it if you can't buy it." Granted, downloading video games, cds, movies, etc is all bullshit and doesn't really do THAT much damage, but when you start stealing shit like Ipods just because you can, you have a problem. We're talking physical theft and risk of being sent to prison.

You have this sense of entitlement that just because you don't have the money for it, you feel you have the right to steal something. You did this shit with the fucking Ipods and were chastising John FOR DOING THE RIGHT FUCKING THING. Why don't you sell off all the other shit you illegally stole to buy something you can't afford? You missed the point: it isn't about piracy. It's about your somehow fucked up justification for ripping someone off. Just be honest about it and say, "I'm a fucked up piece of shit for stealing this, even though I know I could probably afford it". I'd have way more respect for you. But you have this attitude like, "Oh I DESERVE to play this game, it's MY GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO PLAY THIS GAME whether I buy it or not!" If I download something, I know it's stealing and I know it's taking money out of someone else's pocket. I'm not going to justify it even though I have reasons, whether those reasons be financial or location. But at the same time I'm not going to act like the shit should be free just because it inconveniences me to have to purchase it.

If I'm a piece of shit for dl'ing something, then I'm a piece of shit for it. I'll accept that and I'll be the first one to label myself a piece of shit if that's the going theme. But I'm defininitely not entitled to it, nor do I feel I should be. It's a choice and a risk. You've already stated that you'll pretty much steal anything that isn't nailed down, and THAT'S fucked up. You always go on and on about my pals, well guess what? You're acting just like them.

who cares.

 

[Captain Beard]

TLDR-Man cares!

Again, DW and I are giving you flak for the same reasons. I thought about appending something to my post but decided against it, but since DW has said it anyway, I might as well say what I was going to., just to make sure you understand that DW isn't alone, and that you realize the actual reason why you're usually on the receiving end of my annoyance.

My problem with you isn't that you pirate games and CDs, although I still stand by my point that pirating is short-sighted and damaging to the people who make the media you think you have a right to get for free, that's not the reason I de-lurked and called you a cheap-ass.

The problem, like DW says, is your damn attitude. Being a freeloader is one thing, we all have our faults, and everyone's entitled to them. It's your constant posturing that annoys everyone. Why do you think people keep going on about the iPods? Not because you stole them, but because you bragged about it like a fucking ten-year-old. Oh, how cool you felt when you posted about the damn iPods. And this is the same. You think you're entitled to things without doing one shred of effort, and not only that, but you're proud of it, and somehow think that kind of attitude will make you appear tough and 'street' - and all that because of your image on the damn Internet.

Your constant posturing is what annoys me, not your posts, because you occasionally make sensible ones. Just stop being the Internet Tough Guy all the time and chances are, we'll get along just fine.

TLDR-Man cares!

Also waffleman.

 

[Captain Beard]

You need costumes.

 

[El Stormo]

Man, that would be so frikkin' awesome. But how does one dress up like a TL;DR?

 

[Captain Beard]

Put a Ctrl+Alt+Del comic on your chest?

 

[Dead Winter]

I've got dibs on TL

 

[Captain Beard]

I've got dibs on TL

That's correct.

 

[El Stormo]

Joe has the right to a TL;DR costume too, for the rant he will probably start as soon as he sees our posts, in which he writes ten paragraphs just to make sure we know he doesn't give a shit.

 

[Macharius]

TL;DR man dressing in flannel. He wears jeans and sometimes a wool hat to protect himself from harsh, nuclear winter icy cold shit storm of words and run on sentences. He wields a maul.

 

[Captain Beard]

Are you mocking me?

 

[El Stormo]

Dead Winter, we should be the Neverboard's superheroes.

Damn, that reminds me of that ancient comic cover Cara made a while ago, with Neverboard members' faces shooped onto them.

 

[Dead Winter]

It reminds me of the Perk in Fallout...can't remember the name, but it's the one that cuts all crits against you in half...something about completely disheartening people around you by your sheer awesomeness.

Yeah. That's so us, hehe.

I'll say this and then leave it alone: I am a hypocrite, as well as anyone else who has ever downloaded anything in their entire lives. It's the price we pay for such great technology. I know it's wrong and I keep it to a minimum. We've all got our faults and I'll be honest that I don't think it's good to do. It's a catch 22. Music to a lesser degree, but the same. But I by no means deserve free shit just because I have access to it.

Back on topic: FUCK THOSE FUCKING FERAL GHOULS!!! That shit's like fucking 28 days later!!! You hear this "SSSSSSSHHHHRRRREEEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLGGGRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!" and then they come swarming at you from both ends and you don't know which to shoot first!!! Fucking creepy as hell...but I love it!!!!

 

[El Stormo]

Fucking creepy as hell...

At least until your combat shotgun effortlessly blasts their glowing brains across the train tracks.

 

[EricT]

At least until your combat shotgun effortlessly blasts their glowing brains across the train tracks.

Fuck that... THE TERRIBLE SHOTGUN.

 

[El Stormo]

Fuck that... THE TERRIBLE SHOTGUN.

It was a good piece of machinery. Too bad the damn thing deteriorated 10% with every bloody pull of the trigger.

 

[Dead Winter]

Yeah no shit. Repair, repair, repair.

It does work well from close range, however. But I still don't see how even a super mutant could withstand a point blank shot to the face with a combat shotgun.
