I'd just like to point out that if you use some tool to mess with a game (like gameHack, or speedHack, or xyzHack), you are, in fact, a hacker, in at least the loosest sense of the term. (more properly, of course, you are a script-kiddie, or a hacker wannabe. But what you are NOT, is an honest player, or an innocent victim.)

Don't be in denial of this fact.

Occasionally, using such tools will backfire on you. If you're unlucky they will corrupt your disk drive in some way. If you're lucky, you'll just lose access to some game you didn't care about, like WoS.

In general you have free will and have the opportunity to make your own choices as you move through life. Sometimes a little brother or sister might make one of these choices for you, but that's just fate.

If you're young, these are the years for you to be learning to make good choices and learning the consequences of bad ones. Luckily in the world of computer games you can't make a choice so horrible as to ruin the rest of your life.

Still, some of us need all the practice we can get, in order to not blow it when the big decisions come around later.

/a gets off of soapbox.

Or learning to circumvent the things imposed on you for making the wrong decisions.
