Hey, just thought I'd put out a recommendation to listen to the newest podcast added (technically re added) to the Community Spotlight, the Broken Lampcast. It's actually one of our best episodes so far, and since it's been off of the Spotlight, we've added two more regulars in JackiJinx & TokyoChicken. It's good times. Check it out.

It's strange to look at shelf full of games- or in my case, a pile of them- and realize that it's just a pile of permissions to use software, but it is important to keep that in mind when discussing games, and specifically, digital rights management.


However, I think the reason people think "physical presence" implies ownership is because it is a tangible object that they have in their prsence. Legally, you're absolutely right as to what terms of ownership and usage are.

Maybe all of this says more about how strange the legalities of the usage of games are, and not so much about the people that own them.

Man, I tried to get all the stars, but I stopped halfway through Luigi. Good on you for making it all the way through, though.

Steam has never asked me for a thumbprint, so Digital Distribution is my vote. 


At the same time, this idea of moving towards a future where people really don't own anything, and only have the rights to use it as long as they have access to an identity (or as long as the system keeps that identity) is intensely distressing. I really don't like either option so much at the moment.

Saving Private Ryan has a few moments that just make me a bawling little baby. It's probably my favorite horror movie in a few respects.


The one that just really crushes me is the last few minutes, in the graveyard. Everything about that is just... aaagh, I need to stop thinking about it.

What I meant to say is, LOL WHO CRIES AT MOVIES, BABIES, THAT'S WHO

I think the thing to take from this is that a new Playstation 2 is all of $10 more expensive than a modern game, and the PS2 is a magical portal to awesome.
