and there’s Starfox Zero coming for Wii U, too...

This is a well-written, thought-provoking article.

I was more referring to the arguing in the comments section about whether these numbers were true and how not all typing tests are created equal etc etc etc.

This thread proved to me that people will wave their dicks around about anything, including how fast they can type.

I use one finger and can type 150 words per minute:

The IRS will accept this as the reason my taxes are screwy, right?

I can understand the first point, however I personally know too many people that don’t convert over to paying once they’ve torrented. It takes a special person to pay for what they already “own”.

I know pirates try to justify their actions, but pretty much all the reasons I’ve heard for why people pirate aren’t really good reasons. Even for things like benchmarking or making sure the game is any good before buying, there are plenty of other resources out there to help form an opinion without pirating. The only…
