About
I've been helping my journalist mother with her side job for nearly a decade now - Reviewing video games. Since we got our first video game system in '93- a 16 bit Sega Genesis so that she could play Pac-Man, she has fed my addiction for games without spending over 100 dollars in over 14 years. Our first purchase since Armored Core 2(our only video game purchase ever) was our X-box 360 in the summer of 06. In all the years between have been the endless fighting between my brother and I after a MP game gone bad, a graveyard of crying, broken controllers, and unfinished homework assignments.

Jehutus likes candlelit dinners, long walks on the beach, Star Wars, and personally finds the most important quality of video games to be the story. He's rated every video game since Duck Dodgers Starring Daffy Duck for the N64 and continues to assist his mother in her work from college at Washington and Jefferson College, PA. Expert or no expert, you still have to be patient when your mother calls asking where the R3 button is and how to get out of 'spidey sense'.

What do these titles have to do with eachother?

Well; the main answer one would get is, "They're both made of Epic Win". But nay, my fellow gamers, the reason they are together here in unholy matrimony is due to anti-piracy, aka stupid corporate people trying to stop something they can't.

In a new batch of stupidity, Maxis, the makers of Spore, and Bioware, the makers of Mass Effect, are using a new form of copy protection called SecuROM.

Clicky to story

In a bioware forum post, a Bioware producer spoke about the new copy protection that requires you to go online at least once every ten days so the game can check for CD key validity or the game will deactivate itself

This sort of bullshit, especially for an 'offline' game like Mass Effect, just makes legit consumers jump through hoops while pirates just find a new patch to disable the copy protection.








I figured this was worthy of my first post.


I've followed Destructoid for quite some time now, it's my favorite video gaming news site by far.

I mainly only read, commenting maybe once, or twice. One time, I decided to give a whack at a contest, offering a free copy of the game Galactic Civilizations 2: Dark Avatar, because I owned a copy of the game prior in the series, Dread Lords.

I made a forum account and posted my answers. I was pretty sure I was wrong. Throughout my life I've never entered in any contests and never bothered; I have pathologically poor luck.

So as a result, I never followed up on said contest and went off on my merry way checking Dtoid on my RSS feed and playing video games whilst attending college. Today, while on a narcissistic binge, I googled my screen name (jehutus) and discovered, aside from myself bitching on some retarded ass roleplayer video game forums, a blog post at the bottom of the list:

Some retarded Blog

Which lead to:

Destructoid Link

I won, and apparently did so admirably, as shown by the "By far" next to my name. It's a shame, because I still play and love dread lords, and drool longingly at Dark Avatar, as my college-student-working-two-jobs budget cannot afford to purchase anything more than used+months-old+greatist-hits games

So, it's official people. I'm a retard. Congrats to me.

E-mail me at finderdj@gmail.com to taunt and laugh at me. I truly feel like I deserve it.

Oh, that's my dog Oakley, by the way. Even he couldn't help but laugh at me
