>>334768376

I guess it was more than a day - installing BF3 when it was free. Luckily regional servers have low ping (Singapore was about 50 ms).

You privileged niggers don't know what patience is until you live in a 3rd world.

>>334768376
If you mean install and not download, then like 3 hours the first time I installed AA2

>>334769174
i live in the 1st world and i currently have to work to pay my way through the first couple classes of university for a fully financially covered degree that might not even guarantee me a cushy job due to my joy of physics and not engineering. you don't know the meaning of privilege.

lel i get 30 and i don't even pay for it. but for real i am stressing out about whether i should pursue physics or just take computer science for a cushy job. i don't want to be a code monkey and want to make shit like fusion reactors or newer batteries via condensed matter theories. it hurts mang ;-;

i believe in you as well, just not as much as i believe in /sci/'s memes about physics having no place in the industrial sector due to engineers invading it like wildfire.

I think it took 20 hours for me to download ArmaIII from Steam. That was rough.
>>
>>334769174
We went through dial-up, kiddo. It took me DAYS to download Everquest.

Some old DOS game. 1 second to install. 2 days of trying to figure out how to get DOS to recognize the files.

I remember when I got WoW in Jan 2005 on my old computer, I was downloading that shit for 4 days straight. Booted it up, played for awhile, got maybe a level 6 character before logging off.

Then my computer died.

When ToAU in FFXI hit it took me a week on my toaster thanks to how awful PlayOnline was mixed with congestion

Teaching feelings comes first with a lovely one year and 17 days and some hours, my internet was horrid at the time (intermittently working 1mbps DSL) and having, I shit Ye not, 0.5 seeders and at least 17 other people torrenting the game.

Doom 95 comes in a close second at something like 11 months because of how long it took to find a working copy and a computer that could run it (Windows Vista was spewing bullshit about missing DirectPlay drivers and wouldn't let me run it without them).
>>
Nearly 12 years for a copy of Mortal Konbat for DOS. Started download of the disk images over 300 baud from a BBS, but it was only the second disk. Never found an image of the first disk or anything until recently I bought a box of floppies which had disk 1 only in it.

November 1993 - February 2005. Never forget.
>>
>>334775976

I play it on PC now, but when I had the game on 360 my console would always crash and shut down during Besieged.
