I have the right to back up software to which I've purchased a license to use, & yet copy prevention makes that more difficult than it should be. I have a right to play my Blizzard games I have purchased on emulated Battle.net servers, but Blizzard shuts those down to "combat piracy".
Yeah no, you don't have such a right. And if you feel like bending the rules because you can "get away with it" I can direct you to the door. With my foot.
I have no intentions of bending the rules of MMM. Obeying rules is a matter of respect. I respect Abobo, but I do not respect the US government.
No one who respected Abe would call him "Abobo".

That's what the BOX with the ACTUAL DISC of the game SHOULD be like. You should not HAVE to buy "points" (which is just like exchanging money for #####tier money, like euros to pesos or rubles except that you can't trade them back and are forced to only use them in one place) to buy a game you can't even touch.
You know, I can use my debit card at a video game STORE. Or even CASH! CASH! FREAKING CASH. And then I can like, hold my game, and it can't get wiped out of existence by something as easy as putting a fridge magnet on my Wii.
Hey, I didn't say anything about virtual games being better than real games.
And I didn't say you did. I only said "FREAKING DEBIT CARD" because, well, I've never seen an online thing use Debit Cards before. PayPal does this... But anyway... Oh, and Nintendo can restore your Wii settings if you send it in, so you don't need to buy your games again.
Right but then I have to send my Wii in. Plus it could royally ##### up and they won't be able to restore it. Hell, I'm sure if somehow my Wii falls and breaks in half by means of earthquake or something, restoring settings isn't going to be that simple.

Frankly, it's incredible he's even able to talk. Because he can't make such facial movements. Still, the fact that he could put up with that pain and not bleed like crazy is creepy.
No it isn't. His face logically should have been completely cauterized. EDIT: Oh yeah... some of us were speculating about Johnny Depp as the Riddler. I don't really know much about the Riddler, so I have no opinion, but what do you guys think? Not to say it's actually going to happen, or even that the Riddler would actually be in the next film, but rather do you think he'd do well for the part?
No. Very very no. Not Depp, no thanks, never. Anyway at work (at the comic store job, rather) we were speculating all day friday as to what villains could be in the next movie. I want to see Catwoman portrayed or at least acknowledged (with her good costume, the goggles one, or with the stitchy Michelle Pfeiffer costume, or an amalgam of both) but if she was in it she'd have to be the secondary villain (like Scarecrow and Two-Face). We thought about The Riddler, but again he'd have to be the secondary villain. Riddler isn't even homicidal. Although, with Catwoman being a cat burglar and Riddler being a clue master, it would actually get a lot of the World's Greatest Detective vibe in there, which would be cool. Though one of my friends says The Riddler is confirmed as the villain in the next movie, I've not heard anything official and I think it's rather soon. Beyond those two we have to start asking the question; Do we start to delve into the world of superpowers? So far these Bat movies have been based more or less on the realism angle, and superpowers could blow all that to ##### if it's done even fraction off. Clayface would be sweet, but not big muck monster Clayface. The Clayface who is like, just toxic and #####s people up. Someone at the store thought Poison Ivy would be good, as long as she just did the pheromone thing kind of like Scarecrow and his gas, and didn't have all the plant controlling #####e. I like Mr. Freeze's origin and stuff a lot, but he's SUCH a comic booky villain that it could be weird. Very weird. But at the same time, they could make it work because at least he has a loose vague basis in science.

Nat King Cole is awesome. Anyway I bought two albums the other day. - The new Disturbed album, Indestructible, which I've barely listened to and only on crappy headphones but it was sounding pretty good. The title track (which is also the first track) is awesome.
- And I bought The Old Prince by Shad K, which I'm listening to right now. And it's great. I know you've never heard of him so I'll explain that Shad K does really good smart rap and is really dope. My favourite song of his so far is "Brother (Watching)" which is also on this CD, so check that out if you can but I doubt it'll be easy to hear online, and it took me a while to find this CD in stores too.
There's about 800 more CDs I want to buy...

Anytime someone says that about any game, I instantly attempt to increase the flow of oxygen to their brain telekenetically.
Ah, thanks. Its even clearer to me why I think its still the best game ever made.
Whoaps. Clearly I put too much oxygen in your brains and caused you to have a stroke.

Or you could do neither because both of those take it to another level of dorkwadity are pretty stupid anyway. I'm sure you mean an.
I'm sure you mean lech.
Unless you're calling him a lecher or something, he definitely meant lich.
Which are disgusting.
Lech can sometimes be short for lecher.
Which is why I thought that.

It's not a candy bar, it's Tangy Cheese Doritos.
That was in all the papers here a while back... he stole the same thing every day.
And now here's a video:

There's always SO much happening in Scotland that the news can be like this.
I was gonna say the same. Not about the papers or anything, as I saw it on TV somehow. My theory that pigeons can't taste well has been confirmed. It is displaying a remarkable amount of intelligence for a bird-brain, though.
It's a seagull. Very sure.

Yeah Chron is correct. However, during the whole "more than a robot" business Wily tells MM that robots can't harm humans, which provokes said reply. That suggests that Dr. Light (and possibly Wily) programs his robots with Asimov's laws.

It's still stupid, since the only place you should have a "Show Desktop" shortcut is on your taskbar/startbar.
My desktop is super messy right now because it's my default download "folder" and I haven't cleaned it in more than a year, but I try to keep it down to only my HD, any connected drives or whatever, and a shortcut to the folder for my site.
