Downloading a pirated version is STILL illegal, even if you already own it.

Also, who cares about consoles?
1. Who gives a fuck? Oh no, I used it illegally, big whoop-dee-fucking-doo, that's a stupid rule. Did you really scan the entire Steam Subscriber Agreement? None of it actually matters. How silly. And no, HE OWNS the Steam Account, I OWN the copy of Half Life 2. I don't understand how hard this is for you to understand.

2. Who gives a fuck? Pirated copies are illegal, I really didn't know that, thanks for enlightening the forum with that already well-known piece of knowledge, I don't know how we'd get by without you here to tell us useless information like that. I'll get a pirated copy of games I own or have owned in the past with a clear conscience. Have a nice day, you wet blanket.

3. I care about consoles. XBox 360 is quite fun. =D

Jesus, that was difficult to not rip into him. I really resisted the urge there!

Don't worry, he's one of those snobby PC-is-better-than-consoles types.

Peasant consoles users! They aren't fit to socialise with us PC users.

I love consoles, especially portables. They're like acorns, that you can take OUTSIDE.

I don't play TF2 so I wouldn't know, but if that's true, I sort of imagine Valve were PC developers to begin with, so they give their love towards that platform.

A huge amount of the other developers, on the other hand...

Portables are nice I suppose, since they're pretty unique. Though, I only have a DS and I don't really use it much.

I always figured acorns were outside to begin with.

If he got "your" copy of hl2 on his account, it is his now. One account and one user.
You DO know the Subscriber Agreement, since you've read it all before playing hl2, right?
Ps: It's called common sense

When anyone makes a statement, we assume that he does not mean it illegally.
We do care if you downloaded a pirated version or not. When you bragging about piracy we lose all respect of you, even if it was tiny to start with.

The only reason xbox exists at all is because of Halo, and it's only decent.

While I used to have very little respect for him, he's recently improved his standing in my eyes. The fact that he paid for the game doesn't make the Steam circumvention legal - but I don't think it's nearly as bad as straight-out pirating a game. It's like using a no-CD crack to avoid damaging your CDs or DVDs, or copying music from CDs to your computer and then to an mp3 player.

That's a delicious typo! :P It's way too good to pass up! Please don't take this personally, I just like silly puns.

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/troll.htm
Troll, Super Serial: These solitary and territorial.cousins of the troll have the Serial subtype. They roam their territory looking for prey, usually humans. Once it finds a suitable target, a Super Serial Troll fixates on it and attacks it remorselessly. If the prey manages to escape or disable the troll, it will use its scent ability to track down the prey, and continues its attack. However, it will not pursue targets that leave its territory.

Special Qualities: Darkvision 90 ft., favored enemy humans (+2) (as the Ranger ability of the same name), low-light vision, regeneration 5, scent

Combat
Trolls have no fear of death: They launch themselves into combat without hesitation, flailing wildly at the closest opponent. Even when confronted with fire, they try to get around the flames and attack.

Regeneration (Ex)
Unlike normal trolls, Super Serial Trolls are immune to acidic attacks. Only strong flames deal normal damage to them.

In other news, Venatir is dumb beyond belief. Maybe he's one of those new arsenic-based lifeforms? I understand that the toxicity of their DNA can lead to severe mental retardation.

Guys, you should be more sensitive around him.

Oh, and in related news consoles are much more popular than PCs. There's about 1.2 billion or something computers in the world right now, as compared to... well, here.

So not only are there more consoles in the world period, you also have to remember that most people do not play games extensively on their computers. Maybe 20%? Even that is being generous.

What I've been trying to say with all of this is that you are entirely wrong and are pulling arguments out of your ass.

>We do care if you downloaded a pirated version or not. When you bragging about piracy we lose all respect of you, even if it was tiny to start with.

Yeah, no. He bought the game in the past. Pirating it later doesn't lose the game maker any profit- it's not like now, Valve won't get any money from Renegade that they normally would have gotten.

>If he got "your" copy of hl2 on his account, it is his now. One account and one user.

You are arguing technicalities and semantics, thus ignoring the bigger picture. Stop being a special child and move on, please.

She's off again.

No, I own the game, he owns the account. Sorry, Shirley.

I didn't brag about piracy. I acknowledged that what I've done can technically be defined as piracy. However, the moral dilemma is absent in my case.

Also despite you taking responsibility for the whole community by saying "we do care", it appears from subsequent posts by Endoperez and Ragdollmaster that the community generally agrees with my views. Good girl.

I wouldn't expect you to have respect for anyone over the internet, so the fact that I now have some respect is exceptional.

You should know I've put the trolling behind me. Of course, if someone prods I will still probably bite, but I'd be pleased if you could give your opinion of me a fresh start.

Funny seeing the way the giving their love towards the platform they began with works seeing as how neither bungie nor activision showed their loyalty to pc's and macs.

Loyalty? What loyalty? You go to where the money is. Money is in console gaming right now.
