Take that, piracy (2011-02-09) Wednesday, February 9, 2011 | 02:47 AM | by Tim There's a rumor going around that in the wake of the PS3 root key hack perpetrated by George Hotz (among others), Sony is considering implementing the use of "registration keys" for its games.

Take that, piracy (2011-02-09)

Nothing is confirmed yet, and Sony has said they are simply "looking at options". Now to be clear, I fully support the rights of any developer/publisher to attempt to prevent the piracy of their software in any way they deem effective. And frankly, as a long-time PC gamer, I don't see the big deal with serial keys. I've been entering serial keys for my PC games for over a decade.

In brief, Gutters is a series of standalone pages that parody the comic book industry and the heroes and characters that dwell within. Think of it as an editorial cartoon targeting comic books, and you’ll understand where we’re going with it. While I’ll be writing Gutters, Lar will be the art director with Ed Ryzowski serving as colorist. As for who will be doing the actual art, well, that’s where things get interesting (and slightly different).

Rather than have one artist pencil each page, we elected to have a rotating roster of professional artists, among them some giants in the comic book industry alongside new and emerging talent.
