Re: What are you playing?

Dishonored. I finally got time to make some good progress in it yesterday, and I'm loving it. All of the missions so far have been really fun, and I think some of them are actually a lot more interesting if you're trying for stealth rather than just running in and killing everyone. Stealth probably ...

Re: Nihon copyright ??

I didn't say it didn't apply, I said it was likely a difficult argument. As you point out, if precedent hasn't been established either way, it is difficult to definitively state that AMV's ARE Fair Use as well.

Re: Nihon copyright ??

No, they really are. Strong legal arguments can be made that AMVs fit the four balance test, and are fundamentally transformative , as opposed to just derivative. Editing imports a significant amount of new value into the work, the nature of the work does not preclude criticism or commentary, and t...

Re: The Vent Thread

Snip I don't think have a perfect answer for you, but here it goes. The way I see it, you aren't an entity that exists alone in a vacuum, seeking fulfillment. It helps me to think not of the things that I can suck happiness or meaning out of, but instead of the people to whom I provide that functio...

Re: What are you playing?

Torchlight 2 finally. I suppose it is still TECHNICALLY, Summer 2012, but c'mon guys, that was cutting it a little close. Yeah, jeez. How is it, though? Have you played D3? I'd like to hear a good comparison review. I still play D3 sometimes, but I'm really waiting for Blizz to implement pvp. I enj...
