Remember "a picture of Senator Sexpoop, made up of gay porn stills?"

Here's "gay porn, made up of headshots of Senator Sexpoop."

(It's two dudes kissing. It's almost work-safe, except for the santorum all over it.)

(And once again: The dude claims his real, actual, really-real name really is "Penis Sexpoop", and yet he's taken seriously as a Family Values Candidate for president? And nobody calls Poe?)

Interesting changes, positive edition:

I just tried to start Assassin's Creed 2 Part 3, and, for the first time in months, my internet connection was down.

AC uses Ubi's legendarily crap DRM, the stuff that means if your internet is down, the game closes and you lose your non-online progress. I put up with it because I got the game at a stupidly good discount - for $5, I will put up with this shit, because my internet is five nines reliable . But anyway.

The game popped up and said "you're offline. You can TOTALLY play, but you can't play multiplayer and we won't track your achievements".

Stunned, I started the game, went to a merchant, refilled my consumables, and quit. I fixed the internet (yearly modem reboot, yay) and started the game again... and the changes I'd made to my save had transferred now that I was online.



Which is to say, Ubi's DRM acted SANE, not stupid. And let me play the game offline. And kept my changes.



This is huge.


Seriously.


Anyone with an X-Box feel like unplugging their internet and seeing if the same applies to Ubi's console DRM?
