I’m surprised that Vincent has a valid line of credit after spending 30 years in a coffin.

Well Mei’s ideal environment is an ice age so... there you go.

I am in law enforcement and the military. Many of my colleagues were public, vocal, and sometimes vicious about their disdain for President Obama. I never agreed with it (politically, and in principal), but I never criticized them for their right to express it. That was their right.

Perhaps when we humans kill ourselves off, a better species will take over. My money is on penguins

Hearing someone shout “POWER STONE” makes me sad.

It’s less that and more that if you ask a company like that to remove the image they are going to pretty much tell you to fuck off.

You basically *have* to sue to get anywhere.

Honestly, this seems pretty standard for how Final Fantasy games have run in the past. The games give you an exploration and freedom to explore the world, but usually by the end you have every reason to just go from point a to point b without running all over the place.

You’ll be given a tube you have to spit and shit in to provide a saliva and stool sample to confirm your identity.

ok? well hopefully the next DRM doesnt become intrusive because of this.

They had something good for a while, but now it’s gone too far. I suspect Blizzard will have a more refined approach next time they do something like this.
