People who Torrent/Pirate abusively
We've all torrented stuff, whether it be music, movies, games or software but then you have the people who pirate just for the sake of it.
I've downloaded games but my reasoning was that they were old and can't be bought through simple/cheap ways anymore (Like EarthBound) or games I used to have but lost and want to play again but what really annoys me are the people who torrent games that came out within the last year or hell even last week and their reasoning being that they don't have money, I can understand not having money and wanting to play the game but can you not wait a while, wait for it to drop in price or just get it for Christmas/Birthday. I have a friend who has a friend who's like this, every time I hear about him it's that he's playing some new game he torrented or he's using some emulator for the Wii or PS3. Last game I think I heard him playing was Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood for the PC and that was on the day it came out. Are there others like this, people who just can't wait a few months for prices to drop or people who feel the need to torrent EVERYTHING in sight. It kind of reminds me of those people who torrent because they feel they deserve to play the game for free because of some excuse or another.
Whatever happened to the feeling of holding a physical copy of something, I like having the actual thing, playing on emulators is free and fast but it's just not the same.

Would be nice if games just had online demos =/
Same.
Although, it would be different IF I ACTUALLY HAD ANY SPENDING MONEY.
Not only that, but it would be a huge gamble buying a game in the assumption that it would run on my computer. But in any case, it is kind of fun.
Only what I can't afford!
(That's everything!)

Michael Keaton?
Val Kilmer?
George Clooney?
Christian Bale?
Rino Romano?
Or Kevin Conroy?
Or some other person who has portrayed him?
So, torrent stuff first. If I decide I really like it, I'll consider buying it when I have money.
Though, games are just a waste of money for me, since I never play them for very long before I lose interest.
"Radiant Historia, Trauma Team, Chrono Cross"
Those three have been localized.
And my computer can't play the latest games at anything higher than 10-15 FPS.....

Sometimes I torrent anime series, but I do buy them if I really like them most of the time. I also buy anime that I haven't watched before sometimes, if they're cheap and the series interests me. So I feel okay on that record.
Downloading new episodes of TV shows I feel is more justified, since I don't have cable and a lot of the ones I watch don't even air in this country.
Michael Keaton?
Val Kilmer?
George Clooney?
Christian Bale?

Who else?

While I do make use of ...unsavory acquisition practices, I do make a point of trying to buy official copies of things, and encourage others to do so. Especially if they actually have the money to do so.
