I get why that would work, but I'm still kind of stunned that it does. Crazy.

I actually fished my original Q2 CD out of my fuckoff huge CaseLogic CD binder in the closet and threw it in the drive, and was pretty impressed that the Steam version just picked it up and played all the music like it should with no tweaking required. The Carmack difference.
Nice!
I forgot to mention in that video that the Steam version doesn't have the music, which is a crime (although the GOG version supposedly does?).
Google for Ultimate Quake II patch and you'll get a package that has .ogg versions of the music that works with the Steam version, although it also forces you to use a sourceport with different UI and more modern graphical effects, so you aren't getting a totally pure experience.

music licenses are tough

Especially when high profile people are involved.
The soundtrack for Quake II was mainly provided by Sonic Mayhem, with some additional tracks by Bill Brown; the main theme was also composed by Bill Brown and Rob Zombie, and one track was by Jer Sypult.

I didn't believe it at first but people are right, those Just Cause 3 loads are unacceptable.
Enjoyed Brad's Dark Forces bombastica. I remember playing that when I was 8 years old. Mostly just ran around in circles lost in the first level.
Wouldn't mind seeing an X-Wing or Tie Fighter Bombastica.
I think people have been expressing interest in seeing those games in a Bombastica for a long time. The issue is that no one (except Drew and Vinny) have Joysticks anymore. Back in the day, I remember everyone with a PC had ye olde Microsoft Sidewinder for either Flight Simulator or Mechwarrior 2, or whatever other sim game needed a joystick. So then playing TIE Fighter was much easier because honestly playing that without a joystick is probably a crime.
That said I would really love to see TIE Fighter (aka the best one) played in some form.

Why do the crew hate joysticks? I'm obviously biased with my Thrustmaster Warthog/pedal set but they're so much fun to use with the games they're made for.

Wait, you still have a optical drive in your computer?
Man, the load times on consoles are worse than I ever imagined.
Thank you! I wanted to listen through the entire episode again because I remember busting out multiple times.Giant Bombcast 07-26-2011, at 2:34:10.
But that "would you choose a teleporting cat with the secret of immortality or a Gilbert Gottfried-voiced racist dog" question, which follows up to Jeff's sentence, comes at 2:25:40.

I considered not getting one with this build but it was $15... seemed silly not to
best part of that loading video is that she's making an appeal for shorter load times lol

It's 2015 and I'm still rocking the fuck out of a sweet tape deck.
Not sure why I thought this was about cars. Yeah, I haven't had an optical drive in my PC for the last couple builds.

I still make use of DVDs and Blu-Ray in my computer, so maybe you guys don't I guess? Sometimes I burn home movies for family members who don't have computers but have DVD players. I also still have a use for physical installers, these days especially.

I've been thinking about swapping out my old optical for a bluray drive. They're pretty cheap these days, right?

Yeah obviously some people have use for an optical drive, it's just not something I've missed at all. My laptop has one but I've disabled it from BIOS since it makes an awful noise every time I boot/wake the thing up.

That lamb taco this month is the one thing looking to comfort me. I'm saving it for when I officially have no job. I'm going to have to study up on taco technique so I can successfully eat it though.

My PC was on mute and yet I could hear that voice in my mind, and I saw that video at least one year ago.
