I think this would be ideal.

Big picture warning:

[Silverback]

Shit I wrote my own game in basic!

[Ratt]

3 1/2 floppy, you are my friend

I remember those days

Pffft. The first game I played used 5 1/4" floppy disks.

[Gtracer]

No no no. I am old enough to remember the golden years of PC gaming. Back when you installed and played a game through Dos.

[silverhatch]

No no no. I am old enough to remember the golden years of PC gaming. Back when you installed and played a game through Dos, then gave the disc to all of your friends and they did the same. Back when a CD key could be used an unlimited number of times on an unlimited number of machines. The day that PC gaming became a DRM shit storm was November 16th, 2004, the day that Half Life 2 came out and used steam.

Consoles held out for a long time, but they have finally succumbed to greed.

I believe quake tried that first.

not sure why the big fuss on used game purchases. They are cutting out the Gamestops of the world and making it more like PC software always has been, now that you are required to keep the thing online.

Rumor has it that there will be activation fee's for used games will will significantly lower assholes like gamestop to offer $15 for trade in then resell it for $50. However, depending on what the fees are, will it be worth getting used from a private party?

No way I'm letting Kinect watch and listen at all times. If they don't provide a way to disable it's features...time to build a new PC.

[JC316]

Stupid bastards made them go to a PC regardless.

PC master race!

Console peasantry will revolt!

Oh yeah. The only reason I own consoles are for the special console only games. Halo, Gears of War, Uncharted. Everything else is PC.

[Nash B.]

There is no Carl, only Al.

[CJ]

That is bullshit. And from what I was reading in Game Informer, you can't use your 360 games on it

No, there is no backwards compatibility this time.
