Umm.... the"download only" content was released to the pirates the same day it was released to those that were registered. I'm all in favor of all video game companies going with this EA method of anti-piracy.

There are some great programs that do similar stuff that these SHOULD do but with game mods and addons (Curse, WOWMatrix, Two Worlds Control Panel). There's really no excuse for these programs to be so bad when there are such a good sources to copy from. The hardest part is maintaining the repository.

Splash Damage already made this game. It was called Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. Sounds like they just tacked on a story.

"Was it not just a few mere months ago that during the election that fierce guardians were protecting the candidate who is now President Obama.  To the point that his minions savaged anyone who wrote anything deemed unworthy of his stature."

 No. No, it wasn't.

I did that when I was only using 2 drives, but now that I have 4, it's not big enough. I think I can fit 3 in but they'd be so close together they'd get pretty hot.

I had considered using an old machine for a NAS. I had ordered a coule 500GB hard drives and a SATA card for the old system. Then when I got the stuff, I figured why bother accessing everything over a slow ethernet connection? I put that SATA card in my main PC, took an old power supply and hooked up the hard drives (now 4 of them) to that (so my PC's power supply won't have to try to run all of them) and just run cables out the back of my case to the hard drives. My main system is always on and the only UPS protected system in the house, so it beats using a second PC for that reason. The drives are shared so I have no problem accessing media from them (even streaming to my PS2) and I have full SATA speed access to the drives. The only problem is I really need a rack to store the hard drives in. I'd build one out of Lego but I don't have any and trying to buy blocks in bulk is a little out of my unemployed price range at the moment. I considered using wood, but I live in an apartment and don't have any power tools except my drill/screwdriver. Any suggestions?

Considering you have to have a registered account with a valid, unique serial number to play online, I think they're flat out lying about the servers being crushed by pirates.

It's hard to think of $13 being a beefy charge when the airlines are already screwing you out of so much more.

Go watch Fight Club, and then reconsider that question.

It needs the little heat activated sticker instead of the purple decepticon logo. :-)
