TPB is back up now... at least for right now. 

Edit: But the search function doesn't appear to be operating   how will i gets me all teh liz vicous prons?

when is someone going to make a horror movie based on the New Years holiday?  Every other holiday is covered.

yeah, new year's evil.  Hardly a classic.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year's_Evil_(film)

ignore the trolls and the hate, make a game that is fulfilling for you first, then worry about sharing it. You learn through it yourself.

What he said.  At one point in time, this place was a giant for constructive criticism and support.   No more.  Now it's just hate and penis envy from people who don't even  produce.  (even the dead ones)   So... yeah... what he said.

ha.. let the hate begin. 

Okay so for you old school rpg fans (the few of you still left here)... there's a FREE Xmas themed (classic) rpg game available for download at -  http://www.johnwizard.com/  (I'm not affiliated with this site, blah blah blah)

This is a puzzle only (no grind) classic RPG worth a download... for gameplay/scripting only.  Read: Graphic art fucks need not apply. Fun and challenging. If you like puzzle games.

Christmas themed!  And okay, so a lot of the script in this game includes inside jokes related to the pay-for-play Dawn's Light game, (which I heartedly recommend).  But this is still fun and interesting challenge even if you just hard-return through the admittedly superfulous dialogue.
 
Happy holiday enjoyment!

Oh, and excuse me for actually mentioning an INDIE game here...

teh winks

What, no santa foget? This is GamingW.

I'm not a stickler for map design or graphics as many of you are.  Story line, good writing, and interesting puzzles are what cause me to enjoy an old school game.  And I think this one has been fun. My biggest critique is it's on the simple side challenge wise.  So far nothing has been ball-busting.  That, and that it's a hefty 100g a night at the inns.  Anyway, there is a cracked version of this game out there and you can try the demo for free.  Just wanted to let people know I thought this one was worth playing.  Go ahead and shoot the messenger!

I'm having a good time playing this one.  Many interesting puzzles and sidequests.

This is a pay-to-download classic rpg.  Worth every penny.... But there is a cracked version out there.

has anyone else played?

really good sh*t.  listening to it on GWRadio.  looking forward to the download

Maybe the dog was actually Sarah Palin?

I lost interest in GW when they stopped letting us post furry porn at the happy zoo...

need i say more?

i don't know. there's a lot of casual torrent users and thepiratebay is really one of the only quality sites you can go to that isn't full of viruses, spyware, whatever except for invite ones which most people don't care enough to get into other than INTERNET FOLK. so i think this will probably have a substantial impact for at least a while

Yeah,  what he said, basically.   I am so plagued by guilt when torrenting in the first place, that seeing teh Bay go down means I must graduate to "harder drugs".  And all my teachers since pre-school warned me about doing that....

Hoe noes.. it is a sad day for pirates everywhere...  Will this effect your life?

Software company Global Gaming Factory X (GGF) says it is in the process of acquiring The Pirate Bay and file-sharing technology company Peerialism. GGF claims to have the biggest network of internet cafés and gaming centers in the world.

The changeover of ownership is scheduled for August 2009, whereby GGF will take over the operation of the site.

The company says that after it has completed the acquisition it will launch new business models so that copyright owners get paid, which is clearly a huge diversion from TPB’s previous modus operandi.

“We would like to introduce models which entail that content providers and copyright owners get paid for content that is downloaded via the site,” said Hans Pandeya, CEO GGF.

Wow.... simply wow!

I'll mimic what others have said with the "this is so true" part.  But more compelling than the truth is the way you presented it.
Why can't all articles here at GW  be this? 

Grandma!! Is that really you???? 

Why did mom and dad tell me you had gone to a better place...  Did they mean.... here?
