What's the Last Thing You Downloaded?

[Darth Marsden]

Downloading Dead Space through Steam. Seems appropriate given the long, dark nights and the enforced jollity of the holiday season.

Demon Lord of Karanda: The Malloreon, Book 3 audiobook - narrated by Cameron Beierle (bought from Audible)

[der_ketzer]

Downloading the whole Orange Box. This would have filled up my game partition on the old PC almost completely.

[Rawr]

I downloaded Brink the other day thanks to the free weekend. It was alright, but nothing special.

[Johro]

[Darth Marsden]

A patch for the PS3 version of Dead Space 2 (hey, that's why I was playing the first one! Woo!)

[Fealiks]

This. probably the most useful thing I've downloaded in a long time.

[coolsome]

To the Moon and soundtrack of said game.

[Darth Marsden]

Thanks to the DownloadHelper plug-in for Firefix, this video.

(Incidentally, this is also how I've 'acquired' most, if not all, of my anime. Can anyone tell me if that's legal or not, 'cause I genuinely don't know and would very much like to.)

[Davies]

The last thing I downloaded was my brain to a USB stick. I managed to fit my entire mind on to a 50mb stick, uncompressed. Rather depressing really, but handy should I ever lose my mind and need a backup.

Super hardcore porn, and lots of it. Mostly involving animated Japanese school girls becoming overly acquainted with mischievous demon tentacles.

Oh, and an elderly Swedish gentleman taking a horse for a 5 star dinner date.

I have very specific needs.

[Chyron8472]

It's not exactly the latest thing, but I downloaded Rockbox for my SanDisk Sansa Fuze mp3 player.

I find that I like Rockbox alot. Certainly, the home menu screen isn't as pretty as the original firmware, but Rockbox does otherwise have quite a lot more options and capabilities than the original firmware does.

For one thing, I can set Rockbox to "Car Adapter Mode," which makes the player pause (and then turn off when the timeout setting is reached) as I turn my car off when it is plugged into the car's power. With the original firmware, I have to remember to pause or turn off the player myself.

Also, the sound is better with Rockbox, even with the equalizer turned off. I'm not sure why, but it is.

[Darth Marsden]

Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse for the PS3. For which I paid nothing. Thanks PS+ account, you're awesome.

Seriously, anyone know if it's OK or not to download anime from sites that show it for free using DownloadHelper? I genuinely would like to know the legality of that.

[Rawr]

It isn't technically legal, no, because it's copyrighted. However, chances are you won't get caught for it. Especially if the said anime isn't licensed in your country.

[der_ketzer]

Left 4 Dead 2 is finishing right now and I started the download of the English StarCaft 2 client.

[VeronicanPlay]

Last thing I downloaded was Serious Sam 3 on Steam and that took a while.

Other than that various patches to various games. Either on Steam or on the games own patcher.

[RetroVortex]

Finishing off downloading all my GOG stuff.

I just bought a load from the christmas sale, and when I get some more money, I'll probably finish off my wishlist!
(Then I can wait a looooong time for new stuff to come out, which by going by GOGs new plans, I'll probably already have! XD)

So what new stuff did I download today then:

Darklands
Ultima 7
Wing Commander 1+2
Wing Commander 3
Crusader: No Remorse
Crusader: No Regret
Slipstream 5000
Broken Sword 4
IL-2 Sturmovik

Just got to play them all now! XD

Ultima 7 and Wing Commander III are wonderful games. Takes me back to my days as a kid. Good times, good times. *sniff*

I don't know if Wing Commander IV is available but if it is, then get that because even though it lacks overgrown kitties, it's probably the best in the series.

Also look out for the fifth Wing Commander game; Prophecy. It's story's not that great (although it still features Mark Hamill, which is a definite plus), but in terms of graphics and gameplay it's easily the best of the lot. A highly underrated entry in the Wing Commander saga...

... As is Ultima IX in that saga. Okay, so it's a buggy mess of a game but the scope is amazing. It's similar to Morrowind/Oblivion. Of course, there's only one true Ultima game to me and that's Ultima Online. That game was doing WoW way before its conception. Epic stuff. Also it's better than WoW because it had beautiful 2D art.

... God, I wish I could go back in time and be a kid again!

At the risk of derailing the thread,I don't see what's wrong legally with downloading free streamed stuff, so long as you don't intend to sell it or rent it out to someone or whatever. Given that you have to go to the site to download the things anyway, they're still getting the hit counters to please the ad guys, and you get to watch the things whenever you want.

So long as the thing is going to stay online for the time it takes you to watch (and delete) it on your HDD, I see no issue.
