A pox! A pox on you, I say!

I'm gonna kill it! I'm gonna take it and hang it in a tree by its feet and pour honey on it and sic a bear on it! It's evil, and it's on my list alongside Hilary Duff, Natalie Maines, and Mark Stern! SecuROM is the EVIL of all EVILS I tell you! *grumbles*

So, my laptop is like WAY nicer than my PC, right? It plays games flawlessly, just beautifully. So I decide 'Hey, I haven't played Knights of the Old Republic in a while. I want to play!'. Simple enough, yeah? Well, first thing I did was run a search on it to see if it would run on Vista. Turns out that no one has gotten it to work yet (or so people claim), but I did come across one message board post that said someone had gotten it to work. So I figure, why not try? If it doesn't work, I just uninstall it. Simple.

Well, happy Rio, it works! I install the program, and it lets me play! Everything works fine, it doesn't jump around, I can play on high graphics and enable the movies and have no issues with it!

Up until I turn off the computer for the night and then try again in the morning. Hey, let's play some more KotOR! Nope. Not gonna happen. This stupid dialogue box pops up and yells at me to stop using an illegal disc! It's like "please insert the original disc". I mean... HELLO? That IS the original disc! I didn't copy it, I haven't copied it, I'm using the original disc that *I* bought with *my* money, spent *50 bucks* on, and you tell me to stop using an illegal disc? What's wrong with you!! You're evil! That is the original disc! GAH. I'm only a pirate on September 19th, man, this disc is FULLY LEGAL.

I spit on you, SecuROM! I spit on you! Patooie!
