A Bit of Frustration: Game Pirating

HOW MANY BITS, MERCER? 0/8 Bits.

Alright, so call me old fashioned, but nothing irritates me more than going onto a computer and finding all pirated music, games, and software. With sites like what.cd, software like limewire, and the introduction of torrents to our information age, pirating is getting easier, and it pisses me off.

A Little Bit of Review: Monkey Island

HOW MANY BITS, MERCER? 7/8 Bits.

This, my friends, is my FAVORITE game of all time. I remember fondly sitting in front of my CRT monitor, my tiny childish fingers nimbly grazing the fraying mousepad, while dancing to the title screen music of The Secret of Monkey Island. I mean, come on now, how many of you are with me? This was one of Lucasfilms' FIRST triumphs (later to come: Grim Fandango), and now the only place I can find it is through cheap emulators. Therefore, I haven't played it in quite sometime. Floppy drives are hard to come by these days, and that's the only copy I have left. OLD SCHOOL!
