Game piracy?
Nintendo DS: I pirate more than I buy, but I STILL do buy.
Nintendo Wii: I have more bought games then pirated games, but I STILL do pirate.

ARRR matey!
I used to buy DS/GBA games, then I got my flashcarts.
I used to buy PC games until I got burnt by that Starforce virus....er....I mean "copy-protection".
I don't "buy" any of them anymore.

I have pirated about every game I ever played
But when a game really satisfies me, like Mario Kart DS, I buy it.
Same for PC games.
I have played the whole Call of Duty series illegally, and bought them all because I loved it.

I've pirated on the PS1 and the DS.
I have a lot more games for my PS2 and NGC though.

Indeed.. I get more games on the Internet than I buy then.. I bought 2 games when I bought my DS.. and 3 Wii games when I bought it.. but I'm waiting for D2CPro to mod it..
I work with programming so I fell a little bad about it.. but the prices of games in Brazil are way too high! A new Wii game here is usually more than 200 bucks.. if the prices were reasonable I would buy all my games..

Hmmm. If I look at how many decent games I own, and how many decent games I (in the hypothetical case I pirate of course cause I don't cause I'm a good law abiding citizen) pirated..I'd say it's about even. I'm not gonna count the crap games, cause seriously, noone deserves money for those period so I refuse to call that pirating.
If nintendo would actually make this kind of crap affordable in europe like it is in the states, makes every game available everywhere at the same time and stops the shovelware, I'd have no reason to download anything.

PSP: Pirate, buy games that were too big for mem stick ( I only had 1 gig, when I had a PSP)
GBA: buying all the way.

I have about 11 legit DS games, and about ~150 pirated.
I have over 20 real GBA games, and downloaded a little less than that
I have many PC games, and few pirated PC games
All legit 'cube, wii, ps2, and 360

Basically, I buy any game that I would have originally bought before a flash cart. I only use my flash cart to try out obscure games, imports that would be impossible for me to get without paying an arm and a lag, and games I know will be crappy but still want to play them. All of my console games are bought and I don't have a game worthy PC so not much there either
I buy a whole heck of a lot more then I pirate, probably 10-1 at least

Consoles, as much as possible. PC, not really. Music/Videos, yes.
I haven't had the possibility of pirating games on consoles for that long though.
I got a GBA-only flashcart after the DS came out (before DSL) and that was the first time I had the chance to pirate games on a console, other than emulators.
By the time I got a DS flashcart, I already had 12 DS games, and I still have all of them, although I should sell them while I still can, I need the money

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

Sicklyboy:
I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time+1

Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.

So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.

@SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)

@Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.+1

@SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found

@
SylverReZ:
@Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.

@SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)+1
