A few days ago I needed a fresh install of Q1 so I pulled my trusty CD out from its hallowed sleeve, inserted into drive d: let it rock out and do its thing. A few hours later I was running around, kicking ass in episode one, letting the NIN trackset loom from the disc when suddenly,
it stopped.
i heard a rhythmic whirring, i thought "well, i think my 5th cd drive has finally bit the dust-" and then a loud "KRACK!" .....and no buzzing.
I peed, just a little.
With a shaky finger i hit eject, and all my horrific fears were made real......
that's right. my q1 disc, which i had to mail order direct from id software way back in 1996, that i saved a months worth of allowance for, has finally ***ged its last scrag.
I know, I can order another one from maybe ebay, or something, but for nostalgia's sake, for quake's sake.. a little moment of silence for my fallen warrior, if you please.
