Quantcast



The nature of this post will undoubtedly raise awareness of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift's existence on the torrent sites, which is a bummer, no question. But Aksys Games' anti-piracy parody video doesn't have enough views for the amount of work that went into its production. You can see my dilemma.

The staff at Aksys knows how to have a good time during work hours, and I don't think anyone can appreciate how important that is more than the rowdy bunch of characters responsible for this blog you are currently reading.

Sometimes, you need to take a break from the more serious topics like piracy and remember "holy crap, we are talking about videogames." Our childhood selves would want us to do so with passion and excitement instead of sucking the fun out until only the cold hard facts are left.

In other words, bring out the anime pillows!

Yeah, video is private, I was looking forward to seeing hilarious antics that were promised, but ultimately was let down.

It'd be great if the video wasn't set to private.

There's a Firefox add-on called Download Helper that allows you to download tube videos directly from Firefox.

Why put a video in YouTube and set it private? Just don´t put it and send it for you friends only via email or something.
YouTube, private videos are very bad, just as private phone numbers, or someone asking for privacy in the middle of a full beach in a sunny sunday.

I think this was the point. Hiding your amusing material is the key to stopping piracy and unfortunately they were not fast enough to do this with the material that mattered, so they are stopping us from watching this funny video that is probably worth our time.

I don't get it. Was the video SUPPOSED to be private and they're just messing with us? Cause pissing off people on the internet is generally not a good method of deterring piracy.
