    The "Well, I woke up this morning..." game

    Something I invented in Maths class today (odd, right?). Thought it would be pretty fun, but I'd like to see how you like it. It's pretty simple, so most of you should understand it. It works like this: All you need to do is make a post starting with "Well, I woke up this morning". Then, you...

    Why do you pirate?

    I recall seeing a topic almost exactly like this a while ago, but I can't seem to find it, so I'll just post this up. Why do you pirate games/applications? Is it due to money? Laziness? Personally, I only pirate DS games due to the absurd price of games here in Australia. Occasionally, I'll...

    Favourite song that doesn't actually exist?

    How many times have you heard a great song on an ad or video, but then discovered (to your dismay) that it was commissioned, and not an actual song? In all the times that this has happened to you (if ever), what 'song' was/is your favourite? Personally, my favourite is 'Snap Dragon' by Johnny...

    Took the stock photo myself Download What do you think? Any comments or critique would be appreciated. I also need some help - I took some other photos, but (like the photo I used for the wallpaper) a large majority of the colour in the darker grass got greyed out by the camera. If anyone...

    What do you think?

    I looked at a few people sigs, and decided to make something a bit 'arty'. Original image: My result: Made entirely in Fireworks CS4, using nothing but the smudge tool and vector shapes... I think I've done pretty well for my first real attempt, but I'd like to see what you think of it...

    Spelling mistakes.

    What's the spelling mistake you make most often without realizing it? For me it's definitely the dreaded '.xom' (does this even count as a poll? )

    Well, I'm back

    After a long period of inactivity, I'm finally back, and I've now realised that there's nothing left for me to do over at the SSBR forums. GBAtemp is definitely higher in my priority list . For all those people who PM'd me while I was "gone", I'll get back to you soon, especially SoulAnger...

    Which one is better? The AGP version of the 7600gt is $120 but the X3650 (AGP) is $90. I've heard some good things about the X3650 but I've been told the 7600gt is very good as well.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
