    Quote:The FBI made a bust of folk selling, among other titles, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., as well as the cutting edge classic, Duck Hunt. I love the way it says the FBI posed as “gaming thieves”. A gaming thief? What’s that? A burglar who plays D&D in his spare time?

    There’s also the fact that the article claims Nintendo are losing millions of dollars each year on piracy of these titles. Millions a year lost, by someone pirating twenty year old Nintendo titles… How does that work? Did we suddenly slip into another dimension while I was sleeping? I even checked the date of the article, to make sure it didn’t say April 1st!

    Nice to see the feds resources are being allocated sensibly… I know I feel a lot safer knowing these peddlers of decades old video games are off the street.

    Seriously, piracy of games no longer in production isn't going to hurt anybody. Nintendo's business is hurting because they have crappy marketing tactics. (Don't get me wrong, I love Nintendo.) This is just like the case with Lars Ulrich blaming Metallica's declining sales on music piracy. No, the reason their album sales are declining is because their albums lately have sucked.

    Enter Command: KILL WOLF

    How?

    Enter Command: Kill wolf with trident

    I don't understand

    Enter Command: Kill wolf using trident

    The wolf isn't using a trident you idiot

    Enter Command: Throw trident

    I don't understand "throw"

    Enter Command: Trident Wolf!

    I don't know how to "trident" something

    Enter Command: $#@!!@ Just kill the frickin' wolf or it's baseball bat time!

    You kill the wolf with the trident, and all wolves everywhere all drop dead too, via trident somehow. PLEASE SPARE ME!

    Enter Command: THANK YOU!

    Just kidding you idiot!

    Enter Command: (this is the part of the screen where the shotgun blast begins)

    *lower on screen* Um, I really can't feel that, at all, and the moniter doesn't matter, I'm down here, in the actual computer part?

    Back in December of 2000, I had surgery on my back for scoliosis (curved spine.) When the doctors gave me stitches, they closed up my duodenum. Thus, I puked up everything I ate. I had to stay in the hospital with a feeding tube down one nostril and a stomach acid pumping tube down the other nostril until the end of January, 2001, during which time I couldn't eat anything the old-fashioned way. That kinda sucked. I realized how many food-related commercials there are on television.

    Getting arrested for pirating a game that's over 18 years old IS adding insult to injury.

    But, yeah, Duck Hunt is a cool game and always will be.
