Allow me to direct you to Doukutsu Monogatari, Also known as Cave Story. It's available for download for PC and I think you will find that it's very close to what you're wanting to play. (http://www.cavestory.org)
Note: it's single-player, and mo…
GW's always been auto aim, but anything classified as a projectile would fly in a more or less physically-based arc. You already could move to dodge arrows and fireballs unless they were fired at very close range, so I don't understand the complaint…
BW can melt faces like mad so long as you have a healer alongside you and keep your combustion maxed. Otherwise a warrior priest or DoK would probably be your best bet. Played right, either of those can latch onto a melee buddy and the two of you ca…
I wasn't expecting this discussion to go very far, given that any rational consideration of the issue requires an understanding that intellectual property and physical property are different, and that the definition of theft will be different betwee…
The license has been made by man because humanity is inherently flawed, and without some means of protection a producer will almost inevitably be taken advantage of by consumers who do nothing in return. This is why we have yet to see any attempt at…
Wrong again. Software is distributed subject to a license. If you got said software by any means other than through said license (be it an open source license, retail purchase, etc.) then both you and the person who distributed the copy to you are i…
Shade: That is precisely the case. Though in the case of a painting the value is vested in the original object, and your copy is generally worthless. Chances are unless you tried to distribute your copy as the original, it does not have any real imp…
I agree with you that there aren't really any standards. That's why I said that a lawsuit seemed like an extreme measure to take. That said, the guy still Might have a case under the Americans with Disabilities act, which means that somewhere along…
Clearly you aren't even bothering to read what is being written at this point. I already stated that file sharing isn't illegal. I don't know if your little dancing monkey act is some kind of a bid for attention or what, but it's been reported for t…
There's nothing to understand. You're arguing that file sharing isn't illegal, which it isn't. Sharing a file between two people is not illegal unless you, in the process, are violating the license under which the file is distributed (by purchase, e…
So we'll assume piracy is under the same umbrella as smoking. How do YOU propose putting laws into effect to allow piracy to happen, yet decrease the impact it has on others?
I can't wait to see this feat of political genius.
Aside 2: Piracy…
Perhaps 2 and 3 would have been better worded
2: The practical benifits (if any) of the action are weighed against the harm caused by it
3: The action is prohibited or measures are put into place to minimize the impact.
Hence we have traffi…
Your picture was funny, but your logic is flawed. Consider the process by which laws forbidding specific actions are formed:
1. An action is claimed to be harmful to others, either by way of its primary, secondary, maybe even tertiary or more di…
People already put things on the internet for the love of their art. In the case of software it's called open source. It's usually poorly documented, occasionally directionless, and not always organized. But it's there, it's free, and it's plenty us…
Seriously, to every one of you who is saying "Fuck the blind" and all of this, go back to your respective holes and stay there. Do the world a favor and don't bother to reproduce, either. It doesn't matter whether this is a frivolous lawsuit or not,…
Regardless of over-arching social issues, or stances on whether it's acceptable to play a toon cross-gender (I routinely play female characters, however in any OOC conversation I make no effort to carry on the illusion.), there's something kind of o…
Guild wars is highly pvp-centric, and you can create characters solely for PVP that start at level 20 (Since you have virtually no skills unlocked when doing this, it is not recommended, but it's handy later on when you just want to roll a toon and …
I'll probably get it. Played a lot of GW1 over the past couple years. On another note, I think the above poster was referring to the fact that there were some interesting cuts within NCSoft (I think mainly their Austin branch), like firing most of t…
When playing games of any sort,one person cheating takes away the fun for the players who are playing honestly. This applies on an exponentially larger scale for an MMORPG, where you have economies and a social structure that are all intermingling a…
