Reply to Guns Kill People in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I think guns should be freely available to anyone living outside my zip code. ;) Seriously, though, I'd rather have a gun for self defense than a sword-sized kitchen knife (it's not that big, but 4 inches is all you need, with good aim, though mine isn't). I think guns should be legal because you should never have to engage an assailant on equal grounds.

Reply to Boycott Against McDonalds in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I haven't eaten there in years. I find it cheaper than even the cheapest places (I'm a Wendy's fan). The boycott would be called easier for other reasons. *coughsupersizemecough*

Intolerance of Conscience? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Go to a public high school and you will find curiculum made to teach "tolerance". In reality, what I find most taught "tolerance" to be is a pile of drudged up drek made to desensitize or demonize those long-standing establishments of moral standards. Tolerance cannot be taught. Children will not learn tolerance by these means, merely the intolerance of conscience. My question is this: Why is it so wrong to have a conscience? I believe

Announcing the Video Game Classification Wiki (VGCW) in Gaming JoeUser Forums

I am announcing the VGCW (read the title, I hate typing it out). It's new, but its goal is to provide user-generated reviews of games and mods for games. Anyone may join, and have their own user page. I will provide hosting for mods up to 100 MB (1 GB if I really feel like it), and mods 1 MB or less may be hosted on the wiki. I hope to see you there. If you don't join, you can at least read my classifications of games.

Reply to Why PC Gaming is Dying in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

The problem with PC games is that people make them too often based entirely on graphics, and not enough on gameplay. Also, people don't like to use as many of the optimizing features as are possible, because they almost always alienate those with different hardware.

Reply to EU to Ban Pirates from the Internet? in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

[quote]The Internet is not a magical, mystical construct; it is a bunch of computers that live somewhere connected by various cables. Access to the internet is tied into your house and the various wireless devices that you use. Even wireless devices are short-range, ultimately going to "nearby" landlines that talk to the actual internet. Landlines that were placed there by corporations under government-regulated monopolies.[/quote] Resist urge to cite Technomancy from Shadowrun as if

Reply to Why PC Gaming is Dying in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

I'm fine with anti-cheat programs (though leave 'em off my darn single player games, I wanna cheat with CE solo!). The problem I have is this: Why do I not have to validate my 360 games (Yes, it is possible to find bootleg software) or DS games (Even more bootleggable), but my PC games are such a pain to jump through hoops versus the push'n'play.

Help, I'm a Competitive Music Listener in Music JoeUser Forums

I spend way too much time on Ormgas. Look me up, I'm 63rd on the active time list right now. I discovered it Thursday. Granted, it's not that bad, because I can still do stuff, but here are my numbers right now: &n

Reply to How to Stop Piracy in Gaming Stardock Forums

I support your first solution. Very much. I enjoy demos, but I doubt they stop piracy. In fact, I've known people to skip the demos and go right for the pirated version.
