Mass Effect release date announced, pre-order and then cheat your way to the end, wtf?
Big fan of Mass Effect, the game, the books, the lore, the people (BioWare), the works! Recently the game was announced for release in January 2010, the previous date was March 2010, that's typically a bad thing, when game release dates change in that direction, but I really hope that the game lives up to the expectations we all have.

It's mimicry... (click for more)

Piracy, causality and PC gaming
Piracy is the result of an elite group of reverse engineers that mostly got bored with everything else and took upon themselves to face a greater challenge. Software (and games in particular) is not 'cracked' because it's a good for you. It's the way some talented people choose to deal with boredom. And in a sense combating piracy in the realm of software engineering through legal actions is... (click for more)
