Well it isn't like they kept people entirely in the dark, just now they know exactly what was taken, and honestly being old transaction info like that hopefully won't cause any problems.

B, the goat thing. :-p

It is called irony. The situation referenced is ironic because of what a hypocrite the guy was being. It isn't anything against gay republicans.

Being a republican in a gay sex scandal, means A you are most likely a huge hypocrite, B you are either trying to have sex illegally in public areas or cheating on your wife.

Both these things, are really unfortunate, but kinda ironic in the end... fighting for one set of values and doing another.

No of course not. You should have empathy with everyone, just from where I live interracial hasn't been a problem for years, and while I am sure dating a criminal could be a problem I doubt that any mother would throw her kid out on the street if her child told her about being attracted to a criminal. I really just should have used the qualifier most instead of any.

Being a gay guy I really do hate it when people use gay as a substitute for stupid. Honestly can you guys not see how often it is used like that especially in the gaming community?

A lot of you say you have no problem with gay people but but using the word gay in a discriminatory manner is what really hurts homosexual teenagers who are struggling with coming out. A little empathy now and again would be nice, any of you straight guys and girls out there never had to worry about whether your parents will throw you out of the house because of who turns you on.

Really I understand why buying the games are needed I hope to be a game designer some day, but the companies have to make the consumers believe they deserve it. Some companies just get way too greedy. I love it when people try to be innovative with their solutions. Radio head offered their album for nothing, and I did donate to them. I play kingdom of loathing which is free, and their donation system works well, it provides incentives to keep them running. But if a company doesn't offer a demo, doesn't let you try out the product before buying it, how do you know you will like it? If they also throw on something like securom it only makes it worse for the consumer, it is a deterrent to both pirates and sales. And pirates defeat it in the end anyway.

I am not saying piracy is right, it isn't, but what the bigger companies are doing isn't either. It is what will kill the industry because it gives pirates a reason to pirate beyond the fact that it is free, that is tempting enough. I can see whhy people do pirate,
1. it costs little to nothing, and this reason is more important the less money someone has.
2. The sense that they are battling an evil corporation (I know small developers are hit too, but explain why so many more people pirated spore without this)
3. It has become a social thing for some people. It is just what they do to fell cool around people.

There is evil on both the consumers side (pirates), and the companies side (underpaid developers, overpaid ceos, DRM like securom which makes the consumer feel like they aren't trusted [which they aren't], and I also personally hate it when they bring out the copy right lawyers against stupid things, like blacksmiths making final fantasy swords when they have no intent of making a full size one anyway.)

Until they make it OVER 9000!!!!! that of the launch I willl refuse to be impressed.

At least if it did alert the horde, they would all catch on fire trying to get to the people jumping through flaming doors....

You had me at tiny carousel... however the xbox live card not so much, I'm a Steam powered person and for buying left for dead on it, I will not have to go alone ever!
