    I only ever used Steam for the Orange Box registration thingy. I buy all my games physically :P

    I should just take a picture of my games collection to narrow things down.

    I have C&C2, but a disc for it is missing.
    I fucking hate Steam.
    why?
    I basically consider it malware. It takes for-fucking-ever to start up, and since I don't play Steam games that often, every time I open it, it's time for an update. Then, it runs its update, and opens up a shitload of ads, 3/4ths of which are duplicates of the same ad.

    If it weren't slightly more trouble to just crack every Steam game I own, I'd probably do that, and just never deal with it.

    Or you can consider it a very good method to download games and to use a fairly nice online connectivity to other people, since it also serves as a psuedo x-fire.

    Or, you can consider it malware that doesn't constantly infect your computer.

    Whatever.

    Because it sucked in 2003 but now it's popular, so therefore Than hates it.

    duh
    Why do people assume I hate things just because they're popular?

    I hate things because I think they suck. There are many popular things which I do not hate.

    I mean, I enjoy the games and Snake's story is entertaining; but, I'd almost rather read a book about it at this point. The gameplay doesn't grip me like it once did. It seems far too lacklustre for a game of its production value and, really, should have taken hints from a lot of other games when it came to combat.

    I tried so hard to find a picture of the original Metal Gear paperback based on the video game that I remember reading when I was like 10.

    my dad is hilariously technophobic. He's figured out how to play civilization but that's about it. Whenever we hook up an xbox or something to the TV he starts yelling about how it will break the TV. If he turns on the TV and can't figure out how to switch it back to TV he immediatly accuses us breaking the TV.

    He also claims we're downloading tons of spyware onto his computers just by browsing.

    That's the appropriate term. Less than lethal rounds can be very lethal inside of ten yards. Even mace has been known to kill its share of people.

    Funny story about that. I was in a raid in WoW, and was just after starting (Like stepping inside the door) when my dad came in and asked me to help him set up a hotmail address so he can keep in contact with my brother without needing to go through me.

    "Sorry guys, brb, my dad's computer is broken. Be about 5 mins"

    It took 45 minutes to set up a hotmail account. By the next day, he had forgotten the password since it was his mobile phone number backwards, and he didn't know his mobile number.

    He still annoys me to show him how to work Skype, even though my mum who knows fuck all about computers can do it with the environment I set up for her on my computer.

    No, it's a misnomer. There's no 100% guaranteed non lethal method to take down someone. That doesn't mean you call the least lethal method non lethal, especially if it's quite potently lethal even when used without malicious intent.
