DRM should go back to "word four on line six of page twelve" and similar.
Those were fucking unbreakable before the internet.
Although bad sectors were what stopped me playing Star Control II till 2008.
Which I'm glad for: that game is amazing, and hit right as I was getting through original series Star Trek.
A friend of my dad had huge binders of photocopied manuals. They filled a bookshelf in the study. Back then you had to dedicate yourself to piracy. And possibly spend more than the cost of the game.
Homogeneous distribution of your varieties of amuse-gueule
Ellie got me into it the other night. It's a surprisingly deep age of sail MMO. I'm a Spanish merchant and I've got a caravel and I'm making bank shipping wine from Seville to Ceuta. Ell is an explorer, BeNarwhal is starting a livestock business, and Mojo is apparently peddling pornography in Genoa.
We are all oddly peaceful for some reason, but you can also be a soldier and fire broadsides at pirates and explore lost tombs and shit.
I see. Is it early Age of Sail or middle or later? Because I'd love to run a fast Schooner. Get it fitted out with cannon and a Letter of Marque.
well, it's Japanese so it's kind of a muddle. You can run into Christopher Columbus and Queen Elizabeth. The selection of ships is all over the place. I've seen galleons, barques, junks, xebecs, cogs, caravels, and giant triple-masted first rates just in my time piddling around in the Western Mediterranean (you can go around the whole world).
Privateering is totally a thing you can do, though.
Do you know if there is anything in particular this game does better than Pirates of the Burning Sea?

Steam offers things like online delivery, ongoing support, integrated emulator setups for old games, and infinite redownloads in perpetuity. Even if you can't resell the games, it's a hundred times better than buying a stupid physical disc.

Its tempting to bust out Wind Waker and see if its as good as I remember it being
Problems, bro: It's my sister's (which isn't really a big problem, she'd totally let us play)
The actual problem: It's one of those new black ones and while I thought it looked rad it turns out it's not compatible with gamecube stuff at all, which is complete horsedick
On the bright side, we do still have your Gamecube lying around, just gotta find the controller
get a computer set up in your room
the first few summers that we spent together playing gamecube games and watching food network were some of the best times of my life

Agree.
Steam is ideal.
I just have a personal issue with the obliteration of the idea of ownership.
Steam DRM only sucks when other companies include their own crap to make it suck
like when you have 3 different keys for something
Fucking Borderlands! Not only are there additional layers of DRM and CD keys to punch in for everything, they make you sign up for GameSpy or some shit to do multiplayer. It's terrible!

none of this is on the xbox version 8->
None of my friends own the game on XBox. Also, I am not paying any amount of money in a monthly fee to play online.

Zen VulgarityWhat a lovely day for teaSecret British ThreadRegistered Userregular
EDIT: Seriously back catalog sales alone would pay for everything. Half the stuff I buy off Steam I do because people are all "this game is awesome and $5!".
Make that happen with classics and 1080p and holy shit.
If there was a Movie Steam that would end me
But Netflix is a pretty close second

I honestly have no idea. What I can say is that the sailing feels realistic enough for a landlubber like me (you have to think about wind and currents and worry about stocking enough water and so forth), there's a surprisingly deep economy with, from what I've seen, hundreds of items that can be bought, sold and crafted, and it supports multiple play styles (I basically purely buy and sell, but it sounds like Adventurer characters spend a lot of time on land exploring deserts and lost tombs).
As a game, I don't find it thrilling per se; it's more comfortable and relaxing, like sitting down with a game of Civilization or something. But that might be due to what I'm playing (a trader). The rare moment of excitement comes from when I'm running from a fight.
The f2p implementation is good so far. I'm not being hit up for money all over the place, and the UI isn't covered in dollar signs. It runs in a window so I can do other things like foruming while I travel, which is nice.

I went out light boozing last night at a non-horrible bar and walked away with Colbert tickets.
Success!
Fuck the Lost Woods, yo!
Loading up Arkham Asylum and BioShock 2 with both Steam and GFW was "fun"!
Most the time those don't seem to do anything.
North-West-South-West!

I wasted days of my childhood in that fucking forest.
should i read it?!

That's actually quite incredible
Good job EA
I suppose you also got trapped on that barrel in Sonic 3?
Pastel legos are an affront to wymeninity!
I believe it's because they forcibly turned their games into killer apps for it.
I did not play Sonic 3. However, I strongly believe that Puzzles with no clues did not belong in an era that had no internet.

And
That's really smart of them to do!
it is a fun game!!!!!!
you have to play it with your friends for it to be really fun
Like Disney going through their "give a tween a sitcom and a record deal" phase, just because it's successful doesn't mean I have to like it.
are clicking the mouse
to borderlands
or to frantically issue covered calls?
you make me sad
I like competition
i don't have any friends.

what game is this?
I've almost unlocked everything on jetpack. I need a new commute game.
