    Playing video games without the need to sign in, use server, update for a goddamn hour when I only have 45 min to play, and games made for fun rather than cookie cutter eye candy.

    Oh I definitely have to wait before I can play games.

    I had to go and buy a bunch of CDs to install World of Warcraft because otherwise it would have taken about 6 years on my dial-up internet connection. Then my father would probably have called, broken the download, and I’d have had to have started all over again.

      In this vein, a video game that was finished and playable the instant I installed it.

      Granted I had to fiddle around with the Soundblaster settings and then figure out the memory manager, but once that was done the game was playable.

      Yeah but when it was all set up, watch out! No delay!

      Except when one ram stick crashed out and it was a bit wild. PCs last forever now.
