[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 212529, member: 134"] Steam Summer Sale, what'd everyone pick up? I decided to replace my pirated copies of Portal 2 and Tomb Raider 2013 with the real deal. Picked up Portal 2 for $5, then was about to get Tomb Raider for $4 when I noticed the Tomb Raider collection for $16. Total nostalgia bomb goes off in my head, and I'm like, "I must play TR 1-3 again! And I never finished Last Revelation, and got into other games and completely skipped the rest until the reboot. Buy, buy, buy!" I was real tempted to pick up Lego Batman collection, Lego Harry Potter, and Lego LotR. Then I realized, I like playing those on a DS, not a PC or computer. Plus I now have all these Tomb Raider games, so I'll just wait. Maybe Humble Bundle will have a killer deal on them eventually. So now I'm doing the laborious process of downloading, which takes forever when the top speed of your internet is 3 mbps. Took 12 each for Portal and TR. I'm also discovering that most of the Tomb Raider games, being 15-20 years old, require a massive amount of hoops to jump through to even get them running on a modern computer. I thought getting the GTA games running was a pain, these thing's installs are their own puzzle game! Took about 2 hours of searching and collecting to finally get Tomb Raider 1 to run, have good resolution, and work with a controller. Only 8 more of 'em to install! My nostalgia makes me think it'd be easier to just hook my PS2 back up. [/QUOTE]
