The saddest story I have ever read...

[Kiesman]

Oooohhhh, so many great suggestions! Thank you everyone! I'll look into them all!

And in no way do I condone or commit piracy...nope. Not at all. >.> I'm serious. It's not me. I didn't do it. DON'T HURT ME! *cowers*

[The One Freeman]

Piracy, you mean like Torrenting?

[Kiesman]

Who knows? I don't do it, remember? >.>

Edit for a random message to you all: I feel chest pain. It are teh awkward. Thank you.

Such strong moralism. For me, it's kind of rare to encounter someone like TC who never DL's anything. It almost makes me feel bad. But once a pirate, always a pirate, am I right?

[Kiesman]

Dot Dot Dot. That's all I can say.
I thought I was being obvious.
Maybe too obvious to be recognized?

[Agilis]

If you pirate, you're not fooling anyone into thinking you're so slick for doing it.

If you don't pirate, good for you.

Either way, the world doesn't particularly care and doesn't want to read pointless posts about it. So shush.

Yup, and its too late to truly support the creators, since anything you shell out will most likely go to speculators. And besides, they cashed in already 4 years ago when the anime came out. So one should just buy FSN instead.

...Torrenting is file sharing. Pirating is burning copies and giving them out.

The difference?

Torrenting takes like 2 weeks to get a game, while Pirating doesn't.

um.... torrenting an ISO of a game is pirating. plain and simple. You say pirating is burning a copy and giving it out... well, creating an ISO is burning a copy into digital format, and torrents distribute it out. I'm not going to argue the morals and ethics of pirating, but torrenting an ISO is pirating, like it or not.

Probably one of the few legal uses of torrenting I've seen is if someone uses torrenting to distribute copies of their own personal original work. Like Blizzard distributing it's patches for WoW.

Saber gets a second ending of sorts in the PS2 version =)

[GreatSaintLouis]

Yeah, I've come across a rough translation of it before. It... it didn't do it for me. The non-canon nature of the scene aside, there wasn't enough meat to it to really make things better for me. Alas!

And thus, I said the only difference was how long it takes to do either of them. I didn't say one was illegal and the other wasn't.

Air is, without a doubt, the saddest story I have ever seen. For a while I couldn't watch the last episode without crying, and it effectively ruined the word "goal" for me. @.@;

I feel heartless, though... u_u I didn't cry during Kanon, Planetarian, or Narcissu. Although to be fair, I had the ending of Planetarian spoiled repeatedly for me by fanboys.

I still have yet to play Kana -Little Sister-, though. (Too young to buy it. x.x) Is it more sad than Narcissu, ect.?

unfortunately yes, as much as i enjoyed Narcissu it left me emotionally intact, whereas Kana on the other hand completely wiped me out, i was still depressed several days after completing it.
