• Sitting down to play the upgrade game with my PS3. Then Heavy Rain. Woot. #
• Whew. I was very close to an origami fail. #
• PS3 = gorgeous graphics, ridiculous load times. #
• Oops. I probably shouldn't have done that. #
• Long elevator rides : Long Face close-ups :: Mass Effect : Heavy Rain #

• Debating whether I will walk the 3.4 miles round trip to pick up my copy of Heavy Rain. Wish my car was repaired. #
• Did not take the walk for three reasons: a) there aren't sidewalks, b) it's snowing heavily, and c) Michigan drivers do not understand snow. #

Awesome strip from Penny Arcade, accompanied by an editorial from Jerry Holkins/Tycho, on digital rights managment. Jerry writes:

Visit any thread regarding the topic, and I mean any thread, and it won’t be three posts until someone raises the Goddamned Jolly Roger and says they’ll pirate the game as a gesture consistent with some comprehensive ur-morality they’ve ginned up, one where stealing things is alright provided they were very angry when they did it. It’s entirely possible that you don’t like being spoken to in this way, but somebody has to get this done.  What Ubisoft is doing here is Draconian – I don’t mean those lizard dudes, I’m talking about laws which are characterized by their severity. Before they eventually dismantle it, and it will be dismantled, it will have achieved exactly the opposite of their intention. But what I won’t tolerate from rational beings is the idea that you don’t understand why they’re doing it.

Amen.
