Game Maker 8

AHHHHHHHH! Well, after my lovey dovey review of Avatar I caught up on some blogs I read and I discovered that my old friend Game Maker(GM) and my sworn enemy DRM had hooked up and created a bastard love child… GM8!

I have always had a tender place in my heart of Game Maker. It syntax was like Python, its community was like middle school and its games where like Electronic Arts games. However, following the disastrous release of GM7 with Soft Wrap Yoyo games swore to never again use Soft Wrap. DONG! Their doing it again! Yoyo games must be run by worthless mindless English wankers.(Trying to convey my message without swearing, and apologies to all other English people.) WHY? WHY? Damn it! Why must you screw us over with DRM? People pirate your software because it has DRM! And or it not worth paying for!

If you want to use Game Maker go pick up a version of GM5 which is the last version to be DRM free and work.

I will be pulling my good games/posts off of GMC and Yoyo games and leave it to its overwhelming piles of crappy games.

Cheers Yoyo Games you lost a loyal customer with your own greed.

I hope you and DRM are happy together.

You broke my heart!

GOG

Thank you for reading this blog, apparently over a thousand of you innocent people get hit by ranting and raving each month. It appears that most of you don’t care what I think unless my hateful thought process is directed towards a product you are interested in buying. So I will start reviewing more products more frequently to please you and make you want to come back.

Always remember I cannot spell or write to save my life. The polished work you see here is spel checked and grammar is checked also.

I wanted to talk a little bit about GOG. GOG (Good old Games) is a site that sells old games for digital download.

Some of the features GOG brags:

Cheap titles
Growing catalogue
And best of all……. THEIR DRM FREEEEEEE!!!

Everyone knows how much I hate DRM. DRMs give me nightmares (clever GOG pun) and make me want to hit things. However, I have dozens of posts that say how much I hate DRM so I will save you from another DRM rant.

I just recently found GOG in my desperate attempt to find some DRM free media outlets and I bought Psychonauts because it has been recommended by every gamer I have ever met.

The download process was simple and easy VIA their Adobe air application. They truly impressed me with their simple site and support. I wish they sold new games on this platform. I originally wondered if the game would work on Windows 7. To put you mind at ease, it works flawlessly.

Psychonauts is one of the best games I have ever played and I am really glad I obtained it through GOG. Go give GOG a shot. http://gog.com

Assassins Creed 2

Well this is my first post in this category so let’s get right to it. WHAT THE HELLL UBISOFT. I want to preorder Assassins Creed 2 but apparently the collector’s edition in the United States is limited to the Xbox and the PS3. What the hell? That doll is so cool. I want one! However thanks to Ubisoft that is not possible. Because they love screwing people over! While we’re on the topic of game companies, why don’t all the game companies release DRM free versions of their games? Even if they rereleased them a year after the release date so be it. I am sick and tired of picking up a game I want to replay like Bioshock and having to activate it once again. DRM MAKES ME ANGRYYYYYY. Great first post I think.
