| Believe me Trip, the empathy is flowing. I went with direct2drive because rumor had it we would get to DL as soon as the game was available, which I assumed meant 10am pst or 10am everywhere (cst for me). D2D decided to wait til this morning to officially announce that the game would be available for DL at 1pm PST... just like steam. The difference being of course, we don't have the option to preload. I was bitter 4 hours ago but now I've calmed down. Fortunately my DL rate has hovered nicely around 800 KB/s. But still, 6gigs is a bitch to DL no matter how you look at it. I'm almost done extracting now, but I'll have to start dinner in an hour, then eat, clean, etc. so I won't be able to *really* start playing for a few more hours. |
