Lemme just
Yeah let me just load up this Deus Ex soundtrack here
Now where are those sunglasses
I never asked for this.
"A new take on the epic fantasy genre... Darkly comic, relatable characters... twisted storyline."
"Readers who prefer tension and romance, Maledictions: The Offering, delivers... As serious YA fiction, I’ll give it five stars out of five. As a novel? Four and a half." - Liz Ellor My new novel: Maledictions: The Offering. Now in Paperback!
I'm actually kind of curious about this. Was there anything particular about the game play or story that turned you off of Deus Ex or did it just not appeal to you on some deep level?

In addition to pushing for legislation to force isp providers to more aggressively block copyright violations, they are also trying to get legislation that would allow them to delist the DNS record of any site they deem an offender, effectively erasing the site from existence and breaking the way the Internet currently functions.

There is literally no way that would happen
That would be giving the MPAA the right to force private hosting corporations to alter their data at the expense of their customers

The legal argument is that DNS is just a directory like a link in a search, which it basically is, and that they can already do the same thing for YouTube videos and sites showing up in searches in that arena. YouTube will take a video down at the hint of a copyright complaint, and their argument is this is no different

I could pass, but you would just end up with nobody using the "official" DNS anymore.

Well they'll have a hard time doing it now.
Not that they'll give up. If they drop Goliath, they'll try another tack before long.

Right, but that's going to be the route for like a minimal section of users who are savvy enough for that
Youtube taking down videos isn't a legal requirement (it's not a requirement by law). But it does help prevent youtube getting into legal trouble (they could get sued). As far as I remember anyway, I could be wrong.

Look up some of the batshit insane stuff the MPAA tried to pull when VHS hit the market
They're always a) behind the times b) overzealous c) overlitigious and d) wildly ineffective at halting the progress of technology

That's true, but the current ability of cable companies to effect legal changes to the Internet is not heartening.
Vhs tapes are easy to understand. Most legislators don't even know how the Internet, at a basic level, works.

What a shame.
Really you should have just sprung for those surgically implanted sunglasses, pretty hard to misplace those.
*PATENT PENDING
Man it is weird how you got the numbers "zero" and "two" mixed up
So weird

I think they play extremely poorly
I have the reaction to how Human Revolution plays that you have to how dark souls plays
meaning I put that disc in the garbage
Your face has never been a good Deus Ex game.
I'll play your face poorly!
I'll put your face in the garbage!
twice
then you had to find batteries
for your...
punches?
Oh well yeah, the batteries thing was dumb
It's a dumb thing about an otherwise good game though
Don't ever leave me, Chincy.
Well you do have electronic arms.

Thank you. I was feeling down but this just made my day

you shouldn't see movies on Christmas Day because making people work on Christmas is awful
The best part of that, was who defeated them, Mr. Rogers
I mean unless they're the 70% of humanity who doesn't care about christmas
Working on Christmas ain't so bad
Double pay, everyone's super nice to you out of pity, and business tends to be slow and easy
It's not ideal, but it's hardly awful

No Fred Rogers this time...
