[Pedro_The_Swift]

VALVe's Steam,

just did a quick calc and I have OVER
70gb of files:eek:

two years ago I didnt have a HDD that big:p

and all downloaded too---

maybe I should back it up,,,:o

[Grover-98]

Ah downloads are great! better then paying for things (ignore the fact that you pay for internet) :)

[Tombie]

Mate, you're on your way...

My MBP has a 500GB hdd... Full.....

And at home theres 3x 1TB NAS devices... Also all full....


So how on Earth do I back up 3 1/2 TB of files :angel:

why with another 3.5TB drive of course!!:D


just allow a few days---:angel:

[Grover-98]

Pay...for downloads :o wow this is new to me :p

[Pedro_The_Swift]

just a little education---;)

Halo3 when released outgrossed ALL of Hollywoods movies combined last year,,

(I think halo is very overated by the way--)

yup, thats 70gb of GAMES by the way,,

[Tombie]

What are Games?

Thats what our (yes, when our house is 'powered up' the neighbourhood dims) PS3, XBox360, Wii are used for...

The Macs are for doing important things :cool: Like movies, Music, Web Design and of course... Hooking onto AULRO :p

[Pedro_The_Swift]

yes,, well, there are kids games

and then there's SERIOUS fun,,
try running crysis on your telly.

actually I thought the telly was for watching movies on?
:p


you must have a monster of a PC screen:eek:

[Tombie]

50" 200Mhz Plasma... :D

And yes, the movies dump directly to it in HD :cool:

[Pedro_The_Swift]

:eek:


:cool::cool::cool:

Why would I want to play Crysis?

I dont use the 3 consoles I have either :D They are for the teenage boys we have.

Honestly, I'm not a gamer... (not that theres anything wrong with that)..
I use my MBP for my interests and then go outside and find something to do like Geocaching or the like...

Shooter style games, no matter how well executed, hold no interest to me in the slightest... In fact no game grabs me.... I get bored of them in under 5 minutes and just walk away.

Would rather be welding, grinding, spanner twirling :cool:

[Pedro_The_Swift]

very scarey little girl:eek:

[Grover-98]

As far as i know its not out on PS2 is it!?

That seems a silly thing to say. You obviously get a 5 TB drive so you have future space:lol2:

Fear was great. On Steam I was a big C.S. fan and also enjoyed Ship. But the amount of aussie players made it unusable as their would only be maybe 1 other player on who had a decent ping. However on free weekends all the maps got fully packed out and it as awesome but it was such a let down that a cool game like that after you pay for it and you have no one to play with.

And Portal.... now as games go Portal was the bees knees.
