As found on Joystiq:

Well, this is just hysterical. Posting on the Batman: Arkham Asylum PC forums, user "Cheshirec_the_cat" complained that Batman's glide wasn't working in a certain section of the game, leading to his death by poisonous gas. Before long, Eidos moderator Keir informed him that he had actually stumbled on an intentional glitch in the game that only affects those who pirated their copy. "It's not a bug in the game's code, it's a bug in your moral code," quipped Keir.

Sure, more unscrupulous members of the gaming community will discover a workaround eventually, but let's just savor the moment, shall we?

heeheeheehee

move out and draw fire

That's an interesting way to handle it. I like it better than having Steam disable my entire computer.

I do find it troubling that Zarek seems to respond to everything that Tigh is thinking buuuut given Tigh never could keep a lid on his temper, it seems likely he ends up saying these things anyway.

And in character...

Starbuck, what comes after "b"?

Zarek assumes everyone who looks at him is thinking evil thoughts about him. His paranoia is ALWAYS confirmed.

ALWAYS. DON'T QUESTION HIM.

Starbuck, what comes after "b"?

Not quite understanding the question, I'll go with the smartass answer and say "b.... a big pain in the Admiral's ass."

In character, I was thinking he meant "...rig"

Omnis was on the right track. Clearly I should have made it easier and said "what letter comes after b" but oh well.

Ayup. Once again, I'm right.
