Until you've finished the deed

All you standing ****ers are probably why public restrooms are covered in **** from walls to ceiling.

How about this? Every player will take turns to GM a story arc. That way, everyone gets to play and the duty (burden) of GMing is spread out equally.

The downside is that there may be a lack of continuity and/or consistency. I know I would make a terrible GM.

You guys should do this, also, warm up with some simple one-shots like routine patrols before trying to put together a grand narrative.

I know I know, we can use it to make our bullets invisible!

Awesome, I can now hide tiny specks of dust.

I never watch Michael Bay's ****ty movies, but I recently found out that Steve Jablonsky did a good job on the Transformers score.

The setup for the maester's a bit odd, it seems d20's max skill limits makes 2 maesters redundant.

"I know all about everything!"
"Me, too!"

Whoa, it blows that Heal is a Wis skill and the Maester's +****tons to Int feat applies only at half strength. You can't make a Dr House character.

EDIT: also, why doesn't every munchkin start with 1st level in Maester? 36 free skill points ZOMG!

The hell? 

Years later, when you are lying in your deathbed, you will think back on this and realise you'd have an extra few hours if you hadn't read that stupid dead Taleworlds thread....

Let me guess, they have a chain of monsters to kill, one after the other. No RP, just grinding?

Click to expand...

Nah, they just suck at RP and don't take it seriously at all. I mean, there's one big (fat ) guy who plays a half-orc barbarian that ONLY eats. It doesn't matter what we're doing, he's always searching for food and eating. He hasn't said or done anything else yet.

Then there's a tiefling warlock who only ignites stuff. Everything he sees, he ignites.

Hahaha, that's funny, for like, 10 seconds. After that I'm laughing at everyone who's still sitting at the table with them.

You know, it could just as easily be a codec that refuses to play if the content doesn't have proper DRM. It's so ****ing vague, the writers themselves clearly have no idea what they're talking about. Also, I can't see the part where they suggest that jackbooted nazis beat down your door and take away your children if you refuse to install government-mandated spyware.

Yelling "omigod nazis!" whenever someone even mentions any form of rights management in a document just looks silly and prejudiced, keep to the issues.

Read the original document provided by the RIAA, it says nothing of this sort. Don't believe everything on teh Interwebs, kids.

It's just basically "wah wah wah please put more money/effort into policing content wah".

Go out and buy a new keyboard: $10

Smash your father's head in with a sledgehammer: priceless.

But when you go so far as to make your game so difficult to use that it's easier to find, download and install a pirated version, something has gone wrong.

Click to expand...

From the publisher's point of view only around 5% of the people who buy the game will hit an issue with it, and 5% of the market is not large enough to give a **** about. Particularly not if you need to pay a 3rd party for support with your DRM.

Click to expand...

It doesn't even impact that 5%, since you have to buy the game first before you can have issues with it. It won't really hit until the publisher builds up an awesome solid reputation for ****ing up your day with ****ty DRM.

Dude has a point though. The activation mechanism should be just a quick "phone home and check that this serial number has not been revoked", not coupled with all kinds of crap like an entire stand alone game distribution system. It's supposed to be a lightweight security feature, it should behave like one.

Apparently not, since Archonsod just said:

The only tricky part regarding the law would be if you were downloading the ROM image itself. Assuming you dump the bios and use the existing disks to make your own image you're not doing anything illegal. They cannot force you to use specific hardware when they license you software, much as Microsoft and Sony probably wish otherwise.

find an emulator and a ROM for the game?

Click to expand...

He's declared his intention to "find a ROM".

So, unless he means "walk the earth until it miraculously appears at his feet", I think we can reasonably assume he's going to download from the ROM sites.

Archonsod said:

The bigger question would have been how the hell we knew it was a screenshot from a PC emulator rather than the PSX itself.

Click to expand...

Precisely. Buggy, you're making up an issue where one doesn't exist, as usual. Of course now that you've yelled from the mountaintops that you're using an emulator, you're obliged to ask for a ban if you ever do post a screenshot.

Bugmanina said:

Long story short. I have an urge to play a PS1 game that I own but no available console to play on. Would it be illegal to find an emulator and a ROM for the game?

Click to expand...

Why do you give a **** if it's illegal?

Youtube must have a sort of reverse captcha that only allows you to post if you're a moron. I've never seen any comment on there that rises above the level of "hur hur dur me no impulse control".

Its more a parasite than a person. You wouldn't be forced to keep a tapeworm.

I think the evil scientists should start engineering the ultimate biological weapon: an intelligent tapeworm. Release it into the US population, and people wouldn't be able to kill it, because it is GASP abortions!
