No way in a million years would my cat run on that thing

If your cat's anything like the one we had, it'd certainly run on it, but only if it wasn't supposed to.

This is true, cats do what they want. If you want your cat to leave something alone, it will sure as hell plaster its backside all over it

Just get a light pen and get the cat to chase the dot. You will get it on that device no problem

How times have changed. The days they used to be waiting near the door. Has the postie been?

Tell me about it, the days of queuing outside the shop for releases of games at midnight are over! lol

He has it for the xbox but at £6.99 you cant go wrong and will keep him entertained for many hours

Steam shows I played 504 hours of that game and I know that lot of new content was added from the time I stopped. Im scared to go look incase I add another 500 hours lol.

I'm not a great fan of the game but this maybe because i always played it on xbox, I am always a PC gamer and much like the keyboard and mouse over controller.

Is that the blowup doll IronWarrior sent you?

No. She's in the battle cruiser cupboard. We have to keep her turrets out of site so as not to arouse clients.

Fond memories those were. I remember pre-ordering two PC games back in 2002 phoning in then the next day walking down from college on the lunch break to pick them up.

As good as downloading games fast these days, the build up of waiting for physical copies was better. I think that is why I still try and get the special boxed editions with art books and other goodies.

And no good living in rural areas. It took me three weeks to download GTA V. In the old days I could have gone on bought on day of release

I know what you mean, I ordered Diablo reaper of souls from a site, it came and all i needed was the key, the disk is still sitting in the box and never even removed as i downloaded it online once i put the key in to activate it

I miss having a massive manual to use for toilet reading before you got into the game.

This. Baldurs gate manual was huge. Plus I sold it many years later for a profit for £60. You can't do that with digital download

Pffts that nothing. Back in the 286 days I can remember a game coming on 17 floppy disks and you had to keep swapping the disks at certain points in the game

DampCat · 28 Mar 2017 at 16:27

Baldurs Gate was 8 CDs. Best times.

I must admit that I miss having a booklet to read while on the bus back from Game, learning the controls before I actually get to do anything. Having said that, Youtube generates that sort of excitement for me now.

Microsoft Office 97 Professional edition came on 55 floppies. That took some installing

Avenged7Fold · 28 Mar 2017 at 16:38

That's because Clippy puts Siri to shame and he is too clever to be squished to a few floppies

Interesting how they managed to do a 4K transfer as it's an animation not a film, and so they will be limited by the source artwork the original reels were made from (as opposed to limited by the reels as would be for a live action film).

Anyone know?
