A reader was kind enough to send along a link to the webcomic Extra Life<\/a>, and this comic<\/a> in particular. The first two panels aren’t even all that far-fetched. BioShock requires online registration and Steam requires positive ID before you can play. <\/p>\n

Of course, every time they add a layer of DRM some ninny will appear in the forums crowing that, “This is only a little more hassle than previous DRM schemes.” Which is true.

Which is zero<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

No, I’m not letting this subject rest. Writing on this blog has now become some sort of personal challenge, wherein I try to twist every subject into a rant against BioShock and the evil retarded pedophilic inbred cannibal Nazi liars at 2kGames<\/a>.

The building site will forever after remain a barren scar on the face of the world, since no life could hope to grow where…<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh geeze. Where was I? Oh right. Webcomic. Yeah. Here<\/a> is another good one, simply infused with the truth. Extra Life<\/a>. Funny comic.<\/p>\n
