Christmas special

december 24 2008 21:49

As you may have noticed if you still check here, my comic has been quite dead. This due to more important priorities I'm afraid. But to make it up to you starting today there's a christmas special which will run every day. Even in the weekend.

So that's quite a few comics. After that we'll see what happens. I'm currently looking for a job and might actually have one which is quite a bit away meaning I can't work on the comic untill I've moved to the new location. Though I had big plans for this comic, and I still do, I have to take it one step at a time.

Big thanks to all those still hanging in there with me.

No comics this week

Sadly this week will see no comics unless someone has a guest comic they'd like to submit.

Due to more pressing matters I can't work on the comic this week. Not a pleasant choice, but one that has to be made.

Securom failure

So today they released Fallout 3 in europe. Originally I wanted to buy it, I considered getting the collector's edition. But then I learned that it comes with SecuRom.

Those who are not familiar with it. SecuRom is a system designed to prevent piracy of games. But it does this by making legal versions of the game unplayable. Most notable for the recent Spore release. Which resulted in a lot of negative reviews.

SecuRom for instance refuses to install if you have programs like Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120% installed. These a programs designed for playing image files and the like. People who called the helpdesk were told to uninstall these programs. Sorry but, what I have on my computer is my business, not theirs. If I buy a game I expect to be able to play this without having to alter my system.

It's sad though, I was really looking forward to Fallout 3. No doubt I will actually play it. But sadly I won't be buying it. I refuse to support any game or company that utilizes SecuRom. Perhaps companies will figure this out some day. But until then, I'm not buying games.
