Who are these people and why on earth are they here? Did Destry find them in ‘spoons? Some of us have been posting quite a lot for quite a long time. Have you only just noticed us? You hoot long enough into the abyss, eventually the abyss starts hooting back. I'm guessing that's been Cobblers take, anyway. cairton, the only place I've seen physical PC games in recent years was Grainger Games (did these even exist outside of the North East?), but they've gone bust now. I think the fact that physical media was so easy to pirate played a big part in their downfall*. *Physical PC games, that is, not Grainger. |

I'm not saying which one in case Shenguin and his map are listening. I can't see Destry though. Not that I have seen him before. But there are no James Stewart lookalikes in at the moment. |

Game sells PC games
As do Shop To and Gamestop (though not in the UK).
I think Curry's PC World also still carry some games
FNAC definitely sell them in France as do German electronics stores.
It's also possible HMV still sell PC games. God only knows. Since they went bust and reformed it seems to sell absolutely fuck ll anyone would want to buy, certainly not much music.

Simplygames sells PC games, although I think most 'physical' PC games these days are just Steam keys in a box aren't they?

I'll check out simplygames. The reason I'm looking for physical copies is my preferred mammal wants to buy me a game and I don't want to have to open a steam account so she can send me a gift. |

Game claims to have 1897 pc games. It is a terrible website though. And you'll need a steam account to play them. The alternative to Steam is a GOG account or a Humble Bundle account. |

Glasgow is so fucking busy right now, plus it's late night shopping. This means that cairton shall not be getting the game in a box. |

cairton - just open a Steam account, it's easier that way. Don't take advice from these guys on this particular subject as they are a bunch of CD buying luddites.

Smash your PC up with a baseball bat, chuck it in the bin and get a nice PS4 instead. That physical enough?

A seagull stole my falafel and avocado sandwich today. Landed on my shoulder and took the sandwich in one move, almost removing a finger in the process. Therefore, lunch: one bite of a sandwich.

Bloody millennial seagulls with a taste for swanky sarnies.
I remember when seagulls were happy with just a few chips.

Thats nothing to do with Skynet, I was just excited about the match against Stockport that evening. We drew 2-2 in the end, with goals from Paul Devlin and Kevin Francis.

Are you saying that your face is the abyss? If so, you show a remarkable self awareness. Shenguin became self aware at 7.14 am (BST) on 29 August 1997. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. Shenguin fights back? Yes. It launches its chat against the targets in the Guardian, Because Shenguin knows that the Guardian counterattack will eliminate its enemies over here. |
