tetradite Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Debating whether to replace my now much thinner, scorched Borderlands disc with a STEAM copy-it got scratched to the point of being unreadable today, I just don't know whether it's worth starting B1 again with B2 so close. I'll also need yet another disc drive apparently. My third this year. :down:Yeah I read your thread.Only thing I have to say is 'Reason I went digital'. The only retail discs I have are: The Orange Box, New Vegas, AC2 and Skyrim. (Also Skrillex CD's, Lion King movies and the Skyrim soundtrack but those aren't games.) Honestly, I only do retail when I want the box and disc as a collector item. All my other 150 games are on Steam. I just despise having to go to the shop or having to wait for postal delivery. Between Steam, Netflix and iTunes/Spotify I'm pretty much covered. Click, stream. Click, download. Human interaction required: zero. Waiting time: limited only by bandwidth. I remember the dark days when if you wanted something even vaguely niche or specialist, half the time you ended up wandering round 3 different towns' shops only to find NONE of them had it. The modern world is AWESOME. I almost feel sorry for anyone who's grown up always with the internet. Growing up without it really makes you appreciate what a stunning development it truly is. It has destroyed the joy of finding records in dusty old music shops that you'd been searching for for years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason-I think I'll be digitising my collection from now on, I love discs as a nostalgia thing/some of the box art is beautiful, but they're pretty unreliable compared to STEAM, I have a quick enough internet, may aswell save myself the bother. I remember the days not many years ago when you could get the disc in a metal tin with a bunch of other stuff as a collectors ed, now even the collector's ed bits are all digital. /sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iv000 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The modern world is AWESOME. I almost feel sorry for anyone who's grown up always with the internet. Growing up without it really makes you appreciate what a stunning development it truly is.I grew up right in time.I had internet when I was young, but it was dial up and I barely used it. (30$ for a few MB of data) So I still had my PS1, retail discs, random toys I played with. Oh god I had a video camera and made frame-per-frame movies with lego's. (I was about 7 then.) I'll have to find them sometime, I was really good at it. My family wanted to put me in a movie and animation school, but they didn't in the end. I may be doing epic 3D Movies/clips today if they did, who knows. So yeah, when I finally got ADSL internet for the first time (like, 3 or 4 years ago) I was blown away by everything. My god, so much information, so many things to do, so much stuff. Youtube! Multiplayer! Indie Games! Mods! Forums! I was overwhelmed, I entered a whole new world. I'm so glad I did. :happy: And now, I'm pro at the internetz. My dad barely got into it after all those years, while I leveled up from lvl 0 to 60 in no time :biggrin:Oh internet. I love you. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
