If a letter arrives with a hole in it, is it from the Post Orifice ?

Wouldn't Post Orifice be AFTER the hole is gone?

If your mail has a hole in it, very likely someone went postal.

Not gone - just a laid-back experience when your finished with it. It could, perhaps, remain nearby, no?

Oh - those kind of hops. I thought someone here was giving away free beer.
I guess I'll do it, myself:

EA Games are giving away Dead Space for a short time, so I signed up last night and grabbed a copy.
OK, the signup process was ... um ... poor. (It took three tries before registration worked without DB error messages, and I can't use "OriginalGriff" because it contains a "prohibited word or character".)
So this afternoon I went to install it.
And you have to install "Origin" - their DRM software. Great. "Steam Mk II" coming up.
The installer is a windows EXE. And it HTML encodes < and > characters. So you get messages like
... that means it's <FAST>. <<REALLY>> fast ...

Origin sucks, way more than Steam (which I got used to in the end). It's slower, less reliable, most games are unpalyable if you're not online or the servers are dow (which happens A LOT) because it won't load any saved game if you have any DLC installed (EA games are 10% game and 59% DLC) - you should restart from scratch with only the tutorial base game.
Dead Space lasted 3 minutes on my PC: it's a console port made with the rear end and doesn't even allow remapping of controls.

I dumped Origin as well, for similar reasons. I do have DeadSpace on my phone but it is hard for me to manage the controls. I guess I'm just not as hip as the young guys.

I enjoy Mass Effect (1 to 3 and also Andromeda, though it's less memorable) too much to dump Origin but it's pretty much disabled on my PC until I decide to activate it.
Steam improved a lot, added to my 80+ games in library and the discounts it is a fixed presence as of now.
