ZaineH: How long has Age of Wonders 3 been up there?

genkicolleen: What games were you looking for?

blakstar: Well, I think sanity left a while ago, and the rest of us have brains slowly dribbling from our ears :-P

skeletonbow: I wouldn't call it communism, but as I just wrote in another more elaborate post a minute or so ago while I support the underlying ideals people are fighting for, I find the all-or-nothing mentality to be very self-defeating and unlikely to ever win against the existing status quo, for being too small to matter in the eyes of the industry, and I feel that the industry is moving faster than the hardliner minority movement is, and that going forward it will be even more difficult to get out of the mess unless baby steps are taken in the mean time.

On a positive note though, I do think there are enough people out there who support DRM-free content on its own accord, other issues aside to support a DRM-free video store online, and we'll probably see one spring up eventually that might be able to reach Hollywood eventually. I'd be happy to support such a store even if the content was only available in my city and say... Easter Island. It'd be one step forward at least. I am just getting increasingly skeptical that we'll see it happen here due to a highly vocal minority. If this was a new store starting up with no existing customerbase, then they could move forward without fear of reprisal, but I don't believe that GOG will move forward on this without the backing of their community for fear of reprisal on their business as a whole, because people who oppose the idea for movies will also then throw one more thing into the basket and refuse to buy games here too unless they get their way with movies.

GOG IMHO is not going to risk compromising that and so in the end DRM-free movies and TV Shows are defeated before it even starts. Louis CK sells his comedy shows DRM-free for like $5 on his website, maybe we can convince him to expand his offerings and branch out. ;o)

toxicTom: While we're at Pratchett *snip*

Anaxphone: Well, 40 pages and a few hours later, I'm almost afraid to see what titles slipped by while I couldn't check...

How's everyone doing?

Crewdroog: hello! :)

i'm locked in a rubber room and threatening people with rubber chickens. How are you? and ignore what blakstar said, we are fiiiine. just fine.

IanM: The Discworld adaptations for Sky in the UK are some of the better things that they have produced. Worth a watch in my opinion (I've read all the books up to Unseen Academicals) but you shouldn't have very high expectations - Sky only started making original television because the regulator compelled them to and most of what they've produced has been dross. iirc The Hogfather was one of the first with higher production values and an an attempt to make something of high quality, so it was a pleasant surprise when it was first broadcast.

xep624: Almost two hours...

genkicolleen: Yeah, I saw y'all talking about the terrible puns... Ever read Xanth? XD The entire series is predicated upon bad puns!

genkicolleen: *snicker*

xep624: I am sooo hoping that GOG.com will bring in one day big movies and big games. Because of gaming habit I have OCD so I will be buying things just to put them on my digital shelf... And I'm sure that others will vote with their wallets too :)

And let's hope that magic happens soon!
