Good luck on your exam!

Sounds like a pretty good lunch break!

Mine blocks joystiq.com but not www.joystiq.com. It seems very haphazard.

My job thinks similarly. It all seems misguided. I could watch YouTube all day, but reading a game review for five minutes is right out.

I played on a mid-grade laptop that is a couple of years old without any issues. The game loads for a while at the start and then works smoothly. I suspect it is loading the entire house since I never saw any sort of additional loading moments after getting started.

That's a good sub-title. Gotta really bring 'em in with the big title. You've got time to figure it out while you're scanning and compiling all of your content, though. 

I've pretty much removed you from the situation in my mind and am only thinking in generalities. I don't think you're a bad person. Everyone does stuff I think is wrong, especially me.

Perhaps a collection of old video game ads?

Well, we're agreed then. Hooray!

Yeah, but that's not any different from anything else in your house. Your heirloom kitchen knives and your first edition novels will all be treated the same and just because it's easier to steal a game or movie digitally doesn't make those items freebies.

For your house fire scenario, you should be able to get money to replace all of your belongings if you have adequate insurance. At least as good of a payout as you would get for furniture or jewelry. Insurance companies aren't going to declare video games silly and therefore worth zero dollars. If you have no insurance then your bad luck has screwed you in things much worse than losing your games and those particular items shouldn't be treated as special and validate their theft.

I lost a bunch of Atari games in a flood years ago and just decided I'd live without them.
