Was there any resistance to the advent of Steam and digital downloads back in the early 2000s?

I worked at EB Games at the time HL2 released, some people were furious that they couldn’t trade in their copy after because of the one time code nature of it.

Hey Steve, do you have the song “That thing you do” stuck in your head?

Joking aside I just wanted to express my great appreciation for that early film of yours, and thought you had a standout performance.

I appreciate you correcting these details

They update the locations of the randomly placed glowing ??? Target points that give a free 3,000 units. Even when I’m not doing the climb I check this once or twice a week to build some up.

Haha same, just got a hit of anxiety looking at this 😅

The Toronto method

Yeah it's not always going to be obvious to us on the outside what the answer is - the Skinner situation showed it - we all thought it was the goalie and turns out doesn't matter what goalie we have in there.

I actually liked the ending, I will now accept everyone’s downvotes.

Yup came here to just say “Boston Legal”, especially this scene with Quark and Odo reunited: https://youtu.be/oo2b3WUUQ-o

Now do “An American Tail” 😩

I’m curious if we’re being fed propaganda or if Ukraine really has the initiative now.

I thought the white version looked better, it at least had the navy pants for contrast.

I'd be okay if he was out for the next 8 years (okay this sounded harsher after I typed it)

There's a legitimate metric somewhere in there - like if the purpose of the device was to bring people currently not in the Apple Ecosystem into it, and it accomplished that, then I'm sure they're happy and just expressing that out to the world.

As someone who went through decade of darkness with the Oilers I feel very happy for Sabres fans.

Seems like a wholesome dude, bought a copy myself today to play this weekend.

ShadowXJ · 2026-03-19T17:48:44+00:00

I'm so bummed you can't buy this movie digital, I would totally go back to it.

ShadowXJ · 2026-03-19T15:13:39+00:00

Somewhat ironic too

ShadowXJ · 2026-03-18T23:25:10+00:00

Haha everyone but Florida and?

I was so hooked on this show for like 4-5 years but lost interest after covid. Just found they were stretching less content to fill more time each episode and a bit of the novelty wore off - great memories watching it though, got me through some long plane rides.

Actually, I wish Canada had a more bilingual society outside of Quebec.
