The unique thing about digital piracy, though, is that you can enjoy a game without paying for it, even when you can afford it. For many, this is the be-all, end-all argument of it.

I used to pirate, but I stopped once Steam made the smart move of converting to local currencies, which also coincided with the recent trend of games patching more and more frequently. Some pirated games required you to download the entire thing all over again to get the patch, whereas in the majority of cases Steam…

When you see it..

You’re forgetting Captain Cavem—I mean, Mightor, with his weird-ass vibrating club. And it’s Biiiiiiiiiiiiirdman. Get it straight, scrub.

As square as this shit?

Oh, that Future Quest thing is such a nostalgia bomb. Please make this one into a show, please.
