Wow. I cannot believe I just did that. I had a really long post written here, then decided to refresh the page to check for new posts so copied the entire post and hit refresh.... and started copying text from the new post. Idiot, idiot, idiot. *facedesk*
That's very frustrating. Now I'm going to go find a clipboard history program so that can never happen again. And also try to remember what I had written here and recreate it.

This was one of the long bits of the post that got lost. The gist of it was that my brother and I never bought GTA V on consoles and were confident it would be released on PC even though it wasn't announced for a year. As soon as it was available we preordered it (one boxed copy and one code - 60GB is a helluva lot to download, so the 7 dual-layer DVDs helped). It looks spectacular (waaaay better than GTA IV) and runs incredibly well (again, tonnes better than GTA IV).
Oh, and thank GOODNESS GFWL crashed and burned and R* used Social Club instead! GFWL was utter and complete
CRAP and Social Club does a really good job!

Yeah definitely, but I'm not sure if we could play together very well with the electricities having to go all the way to the other side of the world. Oh wait they use fiberoptics... well, the photons having the go all the way to the other side of the world. I believe Mum and Dad are going out this afternoon so we can definitely try. If you're still awake, of course - didn't think of that. What timezone are you? We're GMT+10. Or UTC, whatever they call it now. If you're somewhere around Austin, it'll be about 10:30pm for you when we can play, going by my secondary Windows clocks. Yeah, sometimes I like to know what time it is in Wales and Texas. Oh yeah, I meant Austin, Texas. I always forget you Americans list the town AND the state. In Australia we'd never say Melbourne, Victoria or Sydney, New South Wales. It's almost always just Melbourne or Sydney or Brisbane or Perth or whatever.
Quote: "I assume the latest thing is the paid mods feature that they added to steam workshop a few days ago"
The reaction was apparently swift and overwhelmingly negative about the whole paid mods thing, so Valve is removing it.
Also, apparently when Valve "pisses off the internet" (paraphrased quote from Gaben) it costs them about $1m in email service alone (i.e. having to respond to the thousands upon thousands of emails).
