Also laughed at "Retarded Dancing". :D
Haha "More Retarded Dancing".
Irony is such a beautiful thing really.
Hahaha, awesome, I love cheesy 90s videos.
Goddammit I hated that guy! He'd take over my Windows 3.1 computer EVERY TIME I was doing something he didn't approve of, even if it wasn't piracy. "Don't fap- don't fap to that porno!" Seven minutes. Seven minutes he would spend rapping and showing me interviews with priests. Glad we live in an age where no one gives a shit anymore.
Also, "I wonder if they put this retarded dancing here just because they couldn't think of another stanza to write"Quote:

Telenet’s actually endorsed a series of Valis X games, with four more titles that focus on other characters like Cham, Valna, and Yuko’s stupid classmate Reiko getting sapphic with each other. Telenet also has the temerity to charge about $25 for every game, and they’re download-only. You don’t even get a DVD copy with special-edition packaging, which would come in handy when you wanted people to leave your apartment. The upside? Someone might swipe the games and slap them into a torrent for all the Internet to see. And though I normally don't promote that sort of overt thievery, people shouldn’t pay money for something like Valis X, because that’ll just encourage more of it.

Fuck you, MC Double Def DP. Telenet doesn’t deserve a single yen for this.
I often wondered if they looked for a black guy who couldn't rap worth a shit, or got him by accident.
And my dad copied tons of floppies years before MC Double Def DP started scaring middle school into not playing games on Macs.
And don't forget the rampant casette copying and trading in europe ;). (I've heard stories of teachers promoting that too -I think someone on this forum mentioned that) They also mentioned that it wasn't so much like, copy this and continue spreading it, but often more liek a group of friends buying some new games each and then copying them and swaping the copies.Quote:

Oh, and apparently there's a trailer as well...

I am concerned about the students in the video. At first they are concerned because they are nearing 4th period and they DO NOT want to be caught in the computer lab. But then they spend nearly 10 minutes getting a whoop down by MC Double Def DP and then after that they play another game! WHAT ABOUT 4TH PERIOD? This video is not about anti-piracy, it's about turning our youth into friggin' delinquents!
PS - Why the eff are there Klingons in the sequel video?
Oh hey, they are playing my favorite games at the end: Random Button Smashing 5.
I got all my games from my dad on copied 5 1/4" floppies. I think we had like 3 legit games.
When CDs were first making it big it was impossible to copy them. It would take like 15 disks. Then they had those Macs with CDs in those special cases like Nintendo was going to use on their SNES CD add on.
Good times. But copying wasn't a huge deal. I remember playing the demos for Wolfenstein and Doom and copying those floppies was legit and lead to massive sales.
Those CD caddies weren't propritary though, not sure about MACs, but PCs had them too, and the caddies weren't sealed, you had to buy them separately and insert the discs yourself. (caddie drives required it)Quote:

Yeah, but just an example of how they used piracy to improve the industry. It's like music and the internet. They complain that the internet is ruining the industry, but it is having the highest sales of all time (even adjusted for inflation) because of internet sales.Quote:

Ahh, this when we were headed to have the Key codes for each disc...yet you could still copy a game and use the same CD code for a copy.
oh that must of been some game to copy on to that 1.44MB floppy :)
My dad would make copies of Apple 2 games in the late 80's. He'd borrow games/programs and make copies for us to use.Quote:

Is that the same dude from the original video? If so, his rhymin' skillz have improved!Quote:

Yeah, but distributing shareware/demos isn't actual piracy. ;)Quote:

And then there's soem newer games which required a product key to work, and one used copy of Serious Sam 2 we got had the label with the key obliterated... (we didn't notice that until later unfortunately)Quote:
