Ok, its time for today’s rant. The topic for today, is as you may have guessed, bloody 56k modems and big downloads.
Now while I am sure you will all agree that the PC is the ultimate gaming machine, pissing over any console you would care to mention, I am getting damn sick of having to download huge patches and mods for games.
I don’t know, maybe it is just me that is stuck in the dark ages of internet computing, f@cking 56k modem and all that. And if you are thinking about mentioning xDSL, don’t bother. Neither where I live in Bristol, or back home near London, offers DSL yet.
And to be perfectly frank, I am getting more than a little pissed off with having to download files. Sure I don’t have to download them, but often the mods that I download are better than the original game. Now that really is a sad state of affairs.
To make matters worse, I just installed the latest version of that damn waste of time Gozilla. The last version seemed to so the job quite well actually, but this latest release, 3.9, is a big pile of BS. It seems to work quite well at times, but then all of a sudden, out of the f@cking blue, it just seems to go idle. For a minute or two, it just does not seem to receive any data.
Anyway, I’m going to sign off before I get in trouble for slander. But rest assured, Gozilla is going to be annihilated from my system as soon as the current 50mb download is complete. A couple of weeks at this rate.
Rant over.
