Yeah, GOG is pretty great in that way. No client, no DRM, no nothing. And their selection is full of classics. Although I have no concerns about Steam, either. I have my Steam games backed up on an external hard drive, worst case scenario I can just download a crack for them and play without the client. :wacko:
But that's illegal, just like having burned back-ups of ps2/dc/etc... games is. :trollface: :wacko:Quote:

Anyway, I'm off, I have shit to do. :wacko:
It took me forever to get the first GK at a decent price. Amazon.com had it for 10 bucks for a while and then it mysteriously went up to 50 bucks one day. I was miserable that I had missed out. Then, just as mysteriously it went down to 5 dollars a week or so ago and I jumped on it. Jewel case came in cracked, but that part is easy to replace and it was otherwise fine. Now it's up to $41.95 :shrug:Quote:

I think that has more to do with the fact that my friends would get on my case to play certain games if I actually used my account regularly and they can see everything I'm doing on there, and I don't like being pressured lol. I also don't like that I can never get a new account without kind of losing the games on the old one. :S I know that's pretty standard for digital download accounts, like on the PSN, but it makes me hesitant.Quote:

I haven't rolled this many 1's in a while.
I forgot what if feels like.
Technically it's not so much "broken" as it is "it features an ass backwards DVI format that cannot be used by anything not specifically tuned to that format of DVI". Although as it turns out the RAM may have asploded when I turned it on. Add this to the other PC which shat itself within 24 hours of opening the box and I'm beginning to suspect the universe is just fucking with me. If it were somehow easier to get the cash back in my pocket I'd simply put together one semi-cheaply. Turns out LOLOLOL GIFTS DON'T WORK DAT WAY. :trollface:Quote:

Okay, you guys have been saying Devi for retro for a while now, and in an attempt to not sound dumb, I usually just let it breeze on by, but I can't resist anymore. What, exactly, is retro, and yes, can I be made it already? :lolQuote:

In a weird sort of way.
Two computers on EP in the same room. Magical. :wacko:
I had an idea that's what it was. And I would imagine it's very magical. If I'm allowed in, I'd be honored. ^^;;; And if I'm allowed to have a hint as to what the hazing ritual is before hand, I'll be eternally grateful. :wacko:Quote:
