    Quote from CosmicSpore

    If you're too poor to afford it then the answer is 'Yes'. It is very, very hard to work for the things you want.
    ... So, how do you respond to this?


    You're saying that because you don't make enough money too afford a game it's harder to work for what you want? If you have enough time to play video games and not make money it's your own fault your poor. You should be working harder for the things you desire, just because you want something doesn't mean you deserve it. I want the Mona Lisa hanging above my fireplace, this doesn't mean I can take the Mona Lisa.

    As well, ALL trades are "unfair to the game designer". So how come trading is legal? How come GameStop is a legal business which works based off of second-hand products, which are entirely "unfair to the game designer"?


    Because though these games are used, they were originally purchased from the developer, the developer makes a profit. I can buy a car and sell it later for someone else to buy. It's not like I'm stuck with that car for life.

    That depends on your definition of "stealing". There have been several arguments here which make very good points about how it is not stealing. You should read them, especially before posting when it is clear that you did not read any one's posts before posting.


    I have read quite a few of the earlier posts, and I'm sorry to say this is the way I've felt for a long time, it looks as though there is evidence supporting both sides. I wanted to post my thoughts, then see which parts of my thoughts were challenged, though they have been said before, nothing should prevent me from saying them.

    Quote from CosmicSpore

    Oh, so it's WRONG because it is STEALING.... but there are exceptions, eh?
    Sounds like you have to make the exceptions for yourself...


    Actually no, to this day I have yet to pirate a game, movie or song. I was simply trying to appease those who do pirate, with a few instances I think would be ok, If you want me to say piracy is wrong in all circumstances I won't, the reason these are ok is because you have no way of actually paying the publisher. Back to used game stores, this is there purpose, to sell games that cannot otherwise be gotten.

    Quote from CosmicSpore

    And as a side note, I find it odd that your moral code is so black and white and based on law, yet your avatar is of a ba gua (especially considering it is of the Later Heaven arrangement, AND considering it says 'dharma' in the middle, rather than the usual Taijitu... although I guess the latter is rather similar)... To me this seems to be extremely contradictory.... Was this intentional?


    Thanks for asking, a nice thought actually and I love your thinking, but I hate too burst your bubble.

    posted a message on Slender
    Thanks to that game I have to deal with morons thinking they are slender experts, everyday I have people talk to me and say "You play video games right? Have you heard of slender it is the scariest game EVAR!!!!!!."

    Anyways so far I've heard slender is an alien, Hitler's ghost, was born amongst the Egyptians, born during World War 2, and was also on the Titanic!

    The game isn't even that great, in terms of gameplay I love exploring and searching for notes but slenderman himself isn't even scary I don't even understand how he attacks you, at-least in SCP (another indie horror game) you can stop SCP-178 by looking at it.

    Not really a movie but still makes me a little sad when I hear it.

    posted a message on I have these end of the world feelings...
    One time I was taking a shower at like 2:00 at night and the bathroom turned red from a powerful light outside my window and it stayed like that for about 30 seconds. To this day I'm not sure if it was my imagination or something crazy. (The way my bathroom is placed I can assume for certain it wasn't a car.)
