Just a wuick question: Does this issue apply if you reformat the hard drive on the 360? I hear that this "key" is on the motherboard so it would only be a problem if your 360 broke and you got a new one. As for me I have'nt had any issues with DRM on the 360, though I haven't tried playing one of my XBLA games while not connected to live.

DRM is stupid, and my biggest issue with it has nothing to do with the 360. I have an iPod, and I'd consider getting a Zune when it wears out but unfortunately DRM means that my entire iTunes library wouldn't work on that system even though its in compatible formats. I know this isn't entirely relevant to the discussion but I didn't want to come off sounding like I don't have problem witth DRM, because I do and it's something that needs to be fixed.

Probably Halo 3, because I don't know much about Unreal Tournament. I also don't want to get too many games so I can complete all of the ones I have first.

Getting banned (though I might still come for reviews, news etc...)

If GS became a tool of Microsoft and everything was horribly biased in their favor

If most of the edtitors left (that probably wouldn't make me leave, but it'd be a big blow and a contributing factor)

Basically if the site went downhill and/or I stopped having an interest in games.

I don't see what all the hate is for. I have an iPod but that doesn't mean I think the Zune or any other MP3 player sucks. when I got my first iPod (a second generation mini) in 2005 it was partly due to the popularity (me & all of my friends were getting it for our birthdays that year) and because it seemed like the best MP3 player available at the time. Now I have a 30 GB iPod video which i've owned since last September. It's a good device and I haven't had any problems with it but it definitely isn't perfect. The biggest problem being that thy're desgined to attract fingerprints and scratches like crazy so a case is pretty much required if you want ot keep it in in good condition, also Apple hasn't quite gotten the video right yet. I read an article on the Zune the other day and it looks nice. I'd even consider it as my next player when my iPod dies since it's something different, supports wmv videos so I don't have ot convert them and has built in FM radio and other features that the iPod is lacking. Unfortunately Microsft's retarded DRM scheme means my entire iTunes library would be useless, but its their decision if they want to block out potential customers...

I'm too shy, but I also have other factors working against me.

I've only had eelings for one person, it started in middle school and has continued to this day for 7 years. I tried starting something with her but it didn'tgo well. We've gone to the same school until the end of this year (she's a year oolder than I am and she graduated from HS). She's way out of my league too, and I don't think her feelings for me have changed since I last tried asking her out.

my biggest problem is that I can't make the first move. Since I have multiple dissabilities people judge me just by looking at me, and that works against me whenever I approach someone at random initiate a conversation. It doesn't matter in cases where I don't care what the person thinks of me, but it does matter when I want to give a good impression to the person. If a girl approaches me then I'd be able to carry on a conversation because she would have either withheld judgement of me based on my appearence alone or not cared about it. That's why I can't approach a girl.

btw I'm never ususally this open about these kinds of things, I usually just kep it to myself but I decided to share it you anyways.

yeah I used to have that thought as well till I thought about people and their twins. Then I realized the reality of the situation and it really was not too far from that of the twins.

Wait I'm not talking about my clone, I'd never want to be with another me. The clone I'd be with would be of someone I was attracted to.
