The Wang-Out: You look adopted.

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.

But that's illegal, just like having burned back-ups of ps2/dc/etc... games is.

Yeah, but if Valve/Steam shuts down I won't give a fuck. Otherwise, I don't mind the Steam interface at all. I mean, it only takes a few seconds to boot it up and you don't even notice it's there while playing.

Anyway, I'm off, I have shit to do.

If I come across anything cool I'll be sure to mention it. Plus, nowadays the indie scene is the best place to find new titles. Also I'm kinda jealous of a physical copy of GK. Though nowadays I'm more of a fan of digital distribution. GOG.com is just too good.

I know, and that's why I wasn't planning to tell you.

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

And thank you

I don't like Steam, and things where you need clients. I don't mind paying for a legal download as long as I don't have to worry about not being able to play it in some way. I got the Kohan Battlechest digitally. What an epic purchase that was.

I also don't look into this kind of stuff on my own (aside from getting Kohan, which I got off the timegate site). Just don't think about it. *shrug*

Looking further into GOG right now.

I'm not a huge fan of Steam, either. 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. I know that's pretty standard for digital download accounts, like on the PSN, but it makes me hesitant.

GOG.com just had a sale for the holiday where a lot of titles were half off. I ended up buying Last Express on there, even though I already have that one in my physical collection. GOG has them set up so they run so smoothly already without a major hassle or tweaking, too. I damn near cried when I opened the file and it didn't give me any errors

And yes, their selection is perfect for people like us

VARIOUS WAYS TO STATE DISPLEASURE GO HERE.

I haven't rolled this many 1's in a while.

I forgot what if feels like.

Also, Ray needs to write novels or something. It took him a million words to say "my computer broke down and I can't find the parts to fix it" on Facebook. I kinda feel like I've just been trolled in a very well-written, elaborate way.

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.

And I totally created a TLR version of that update for people that don't have a shitload of time to kill. In this case a picture is worth a couple thousand words.

I think the biggest reason I always disappear for months at a time is that when I do come on, no one else is around, so I'm like, eh, I'll check back later. Later ends up being the same time the next day and this goes on for infinity.

But hello again anyway.

We're often around, it's just that we're frequently only "around".

Devi for retro? Devi for retro.

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?

We have a hidden subforum.

We all hide out in there.

It's magical.

In a weird sort of way.

Two computers on EP in the same room. Magical.

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.
