The internet may be safe? (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18704192)

[Wolfshade]

Well mobving in the right direction (http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/07/03/european-court-of-justice-rules-on-the-right-to-sell-your-digital-games-and-licenses/).

While not case law it might become and if so could make some forms of DRM illegal :eek:

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

HAH!

Acta non verba.

[Psychosplodge]

DRM is a badjoke anyway, it only inconveniences the honest consumer, the pirates just wait till someones cracked it, and the hackers just see it as a challenge...

[Wolfshade]

Was it notch who said that if your customers are priating your game you are doing something wrong?

[Psychosplodge]

No I think he said if someone pirates your game and tells five of his friends it's good, you're probably up...

[Wolfshade]

“If someone copies your game a trillion times, you won’t have lost a single cent,” said Notch. “Some people are using that to ruin the internet.”

Hmmm, also you can convert them to paying customers if treated properly.

[Psychosplodge]

maybe he said both lol, he's the minecraft bloke isn't he?

[Wolfshade]

Yeah, I'm not sure I like minecraft as you can't win. I like winning.

[Psychosplodge]

or at least an ending?

[Wolfshade]

Yeah, I mean it is a bit like sim city

[Psychosplodge]

I kinda liked that, but i'd always get bored and start again

[Wolfshade]

Or unleash natural disasters.
Having said that, I am looking forward to the new Sim City

[Morgan Darkstar]

What is Minecraft?

[Wolfshade]

It is lego for the PC.
A sandbox game where you can interact with the scenery, craft items from things you have mined and build your own world.
It apparently is better than it sounds

[Psychosplodge]

It's a poor mans terraria.

[Gotthammer]

It is lego for the PC.

How's this for meta? (http://shop.lego.com/en-AU/Minecraft-21102)

[Morgan Darkstar]

My life is Gone :(

[Wolfshade]

It is amusing that a game that was inspired by lego inspires lego

[Psychosplodge]

It's like dividing by zero O_o

[Wolfshade]

I'm not sure that it is

[Psychosplodge]

:p

[Wolfshade]

Erudite as always :p

[Psychosplodge]

It's a skill...

Not in the same league as crushing skulls, but a skill none the less...

[Wolfshade]

I suppose it could be argued that you can train to crush skulls, whereas eruditness is an inherited skill

[Psychosplodge]

IDK about that, I could provide plenty of evidence to the contrary...

[Wolfshade]

Boris Johnson?

[Psychosplodge]

lol.

I almost want to work from home so I can graze the fridge...

[Wolfshade]

Today, we are having quiz biscuits (the profits from a quiz my team won went to buy biscuits), another guy brought some in, and it is my assisstant is leaving so we'll have some samosas hopefully!

[Psychosplodge]

What biscuits?

[Wolfshade]

Two packs of giant cookies (though they look to scale next to my mug), chocolated malted milk (cow biscuits), butter crunch, ginger creames, and a box of luxury chocolate biscuits.

[Psychosplodge]

You're doing it all wrong, it should be chocolate hobnobs, chocolate digestives, and pink wafer biscuits...

[Wolfshade]

Apparently though Hobnobs can kill.

In addition I am doing it right as I am having free food.

[Psychosplodge]

I know, the risk is totally worth it.

[Wolfshade]

Though I have found that chocolate hobnobs don't taste as nice as normal hobnobs dipped in chocolate

[Psychosplodge]

Dark or milk?

[Wolfshade]

Either/Or/Both
