I was so relieved.   They finally got their heads screwed on straight again.   ;010

Been waiting for years, and there's probably gonna be a wait period after this, but at least I know they're serious about it.     ;019

Some pictures from SC2.

ZOMG ITS REAL! ITS REAL!


This...this is...beautiful. I was starting to think this day wouldn't come ;_;

[Laevatein]

I called this a month ago ever since the rumors came out... but FINALLY, it is a great day in the history of gaming

[zjhentohlauedy]

It looks soooooooo promising~!

[CaptBrenden]

I hope to GOD that they fixed the old issues of spending ungodly amounts of time collecting resorces, and the whole producing one bloody marine at a time and having each marine function by itself, and just trying to send a squad worth of them anywhere becomes unweildy and so unuseful most people stop using them.


T_T

Hopefully they dont just make a pretty version of their old game and learn the lessons that the current RTS have tought us

There goes another game to pirate once it comes shuvvin' down the bucket.

[CaptBrenden]

*shakes head* the open piracy around here is shamefull sometimes.  People take so much pride in it even.

[NejinOniwa]

Well, it's better to pirate it and like it than to just hate it from the start without judgment, ne?

[CaptBrenden]

Eh Im hating it from the start with an open ended judgment that i could change if it turns out to be good.

plus,  the hating it from the begining isnt Illeagal.

[NejinOniwa]

Yeah, but the rabid fanhordes are more likely to slaughter you for that than for piracy, ssu. -w-

[CaptBrenden]

Well frankly then, just keep your mouth shut if your worried about fan horders.


You know, I think Im gonna put up a "No Public Piracy" policy.  The condoning and publicity of how proud people are here to break the law and rip off game developers, anime producers, and the like is starting to upset me.

[zjhentohlauedy]

well i'm not proud of ripping off people but Its like breathing i need it. but i do buy their merchandise from time to time, figs, dvds, mangas, etc.

[CaptBrenden]

you just made piracy sound like doing drugs... which dosent impove its image any.

[NejinOniwa]

Exactly. Frankly enough, while most pirates stand against the system of proprietarism and copyright itself, some don't realize they're dependent on that very system in their activity. I mean, if everyone was a pirate...well, you've probably heard someone say it before...so piracy is a necessary minority, i think.

[CaptBrenden]

Point is, we worry about the legality of images we upload and rights to them and such, and then blatently talk about piracy in topics giving people links to places where then can still download licenced anime, or where they can pirate the latest games


Its gonna stop.  Anyone dosent like that,  feel free to apply for mod position and take over for me.
