This thread has been linked to the game 'Doom 3'.
the PC version on Doom3 has been leaked over the net. dont know if you guys know this.
i havent got it but have played it at a friends house.
he had the settings turned down, and it looks great, it feels great, and its really not as scary as people are saying.
really when something jumps out at you, you just jump and then laugh as you shotguhn off its head.
its put me in a great mood for the xbox version.

The fact you actually see it this way is why you're the Forum Pinata.
Quick resume, before you claim a moral victory once more from thin air:
Bell tells somebody it's an illegal download (having already asked how to enable anti-aliasing in another thread about leaked Doom 3 in the PC forum, which is odd because the manual tells you) but nobody could possibly comment on where or how if they had done.
I make a joke, which several people get about piracy - mirroring Bell's right-wing intolerance for all forms of lawbreakers as witnessed in threads throughout the months.
I take sadistic delight in informing Bell he's breaking the law, ironic considering his zero tolerance stance towards everybody else that does so.
He gets shown why he's a hypocrite.
And only after, does he then say "oh it's a US release bought from Ebay" - after saying how major threats of piracy funding crime is from the US, primarily Ebay.
And has since spent many many posts heroically defending truth, justice and the idiot way from those that would dare to point and laugh at the sheer hypocrisy of this uptight, preachy Halofan.
So in a desperate attempt to prove that, in fact, he's being bullied by mean people using words over a computer, he whines about others not accepting facts.
Irony overload. Once again.
And the best part? Because he has yet to be utterly blown off the ledge of credibility (as tends to happen), he'll respond and try to twist it to his advantage before preening and going to bed smiling that once again, democracy and freedom have triumphed over barbarism and free thought.
The End.

No, you're a moron for stealing. You havne't paid for an album for 6 years? That makes you a pretty big thief.

Bell? Unpopular? Never...
Although you're just as equally repulsive.

Ah, now I see why the argument started - personal insults from you. Well actually, the reason you haven't paid more than a tenner "for ages now" is because the music industry is on the back foot and reducing their prices to try and regain their lost custom. So, the fact that you didn't know that, plus the fact that you're paying 10 quid per album when I get all mine for free, (and have done for about 6 years) makes YOU the moron I think, so get that stick out of your backside and lose the attitude or you're suddenly going to find yourself to be very unpopular.

Ah, now I see why the argument started - personal insults from you. Well actually, the reason you haven't paid more than a tenner "for ages now" is because the music industry is on the back foot and reducing their prices to try and regain their lost custom. So, the fact that you didn't know that, plus the fact that you're paying 10 quid per album when I get all mine for free, (and have done for about 6 years) makes YOU the moron I think, so get that stick out of your backside and lose the attitude or you're suddenly going to find yourself to be very unpopular.
Well you're a moron for paying £15 an album (where the hell do you shop for music?) Haven't paid more than £10 for ages now, bar a few imports which I paid a little more for.
And the argument started because certain people said I had pirated Doom 3 because I was talking about it before the UK release, ignoring the fact I had a US release that I'd imported. Said people won't admit they are wrong, hence the argument.

Well I can't be arsed to scroll down and see how all this started, but everyone is different and has different values. If you want to download pirated stuff then go ahead - but on your head be it if you are caught. On the other hand, if you don't want to download pirated stuff then don't. Simple.
Personally I'm well up for downloading music because I, like many other millions of people, was tired of being ripped off for having to pay 15 quid for something that costs only a couple of quid to make.
Games on the other hand cost a lot more to make (salaries of programmers, designers, musicians etc. for a couple of years adds up!) and so I really don't mind paying 25 quid for a PC game.
The difference between the 2 industries for me is honesty. The music industry ripped people off, and it's great that the boot is now on the other foot, but the games industry is honest enough to me that I will happily pay 25 quid for something I *could* get for free - after all, if every games company went bankrupt, who then would develop the likes of Doom 3 for us? Bedroom hobbyists? Clans? Thin air? No.

I really hope that mental image doesn't stay in my mind for too long though. :-D

Yeah you'd think it would work like that, but it actually doesn't.

Quite unrelated to the thread topic, but there's really no need to get personal on here. It's just a forum. The facts speak for themselves, and if ever anyone is wrong then it's obvious to everyone else that they are.
A somewhat related topic [URL]http://www.sundayherald.com/43167[/URL] - along with more comments from Valenti - the raving madman of anti-piracy - asked in December 2001 what he thought was the threat facing the US in America he replied "piracy"....
