Maybe I'm being too picky. But I SERIOUSLY prefer new copies to used.
i do too, but when it comes to old games i just look for the best quality. these older games are hard as nails to come by, and new copies are essentially nonexistant.

Bah. Sorry. Guess I didn't read as accurately as I thought. :P You ever see that thing where they say as long as the first and last letters are the same, then whats in between doesn't matter because the brain'll interpret it anyway? lol Maybe thats what happens with your name spelling.

Still a bit steep for me, when you consider the exchange rate (I'm in Canada) though I am willing to pay it, if I have the money. Maybe I'll get some for my b'day next month, or for Christmas and I can go back to searching. :)

yeah, that is true. And in these cases, I guess we sort of need to take what we can find or go without. *sobs* I don't want to go without!
So yeah, when I get money again, I'll go back to searching for it.

this may or may not be a bad thing to post, but im gonna anyways.
[SPOILER]If you get the Thief2 NoCD patch, you can burn Thief2 to a set of 2 CD's, and keep em as a backup incase you either lose or destroy your others, my game disc broke in my CD drive, but i have the NoCD patch, and i have a backup on 2 CD's. All you need to do is a copy/paste routine, and you got another fresh install of T2. ;)[/SPOILER]

That post looks familiar. :sly:

lol Thats exactly what I was talking about. It is scary how 'easy' that was to read. A bit disturbing for the future of the language, too. Wonder if that works for other languages as well. (Since I do not speak any language other than English, I cannot test this. :P)

nope. i tried with Latin, and i started to cry tears of blood.

It works in French.

The intelligibility of a jumbled text in a language other than English would depend upon your level fluency in that language, I should think.
