EndreWhiteMane: Hey Crow! Get some coffee yet? ;)
I've decided 2 things about re-downloading my games library.
1.) It's almost impossible to do all at once.
2.) I own an absolutely insane number of games. :-)
I still have 15 to go before the "D"s are done. :-O
GhostwriterDoF: Righto! You'll probably want to do a little at a time, working through the alphabet I've decided 2 things about re-downloading my games library.

should help you to keep track of where you leave off, when you take breaks from it.
I have about 50 dvds full of downloads and mod-work I've done just for Battlefield 2,
that I'll need to archive eventually onto an external Hardrive. And dozens of more discs
of mods patches and utilities for other games I've downloaded over the years.
Right now, a little over half my games from GoG are on an external HD, the rest is
early versions of installers burned to discs as well, except for the last two new games
I just have, F.E.A.R. 2 and Rise of theTriad 2013.
CarrionCrow: ...
Was going to suggest going to Z and working backwards for a bit, but between Witcher 2 and Wasteland 2, you could kiss your progress goodbye for a long while if your speed's not great.
GhostwriterDoF: Some of the new downloads are 3 or 4 gigs, instead of the 1.5 to 2 gigs files, Was going to suggest going to Z and working backwards for a bit, but between Witcher 2 and Wasteland 2, you could kiss your progress goodbye for a long while if your speed's not great.
which makes it harder to put onto flash drives for easy installs.
Crazy big right there.
CarrionCrow: Hey there. =)
Well, I was getting coffee, but a roommate asked if I could give them a hand running errands, so I ended up doing that.
Nah, it's possible. It might kick the crap out of your internet and soak up every drop of bandwidth you have for a week or two, but it's possible.
You don't have that many. Even with unbundling you're under 500. -laughs-
Yeah, you do have a lot of D's, looking at it. But at least none of them are really large files, if I'm remembering correctly.
Also, once you're done with all 34 D's, you only have 12 E's to do. That's like a walk in the park. ;)

EndreWhiteMane: The 5 Draculas are over 16GB total since they split them up. I think after D is a good place for a break. :-) Well, I was getting coffee, but a roommate asked if I could give them a hand running errands, so I ended up doing that.

But then, my memory is kinda shit, so that doesn't surprise me. -laughs-
Breaktime after D it is.
Also, I think Joker Rabbit is slowly infecting me with their obsession with Dark Souls. I'm now the farthest I've ever been in that game. Not saying much since I quit last time after getting my ass handed to me, but I just managed to kill off the second boss.

madth3: Oh boy! I'm so glad to have downloaded my library before the unbundling.
Why in the world is Dracula 1 almost 11 gigs now?
Okay, I know the answer why. The people at GOG are frigging dorks. It says 10.8 gigabytes in the description, but when I load it into the downloader, it shows up as being 1.02 gigs.

Edit: Dark Souls looks pretty awesome. But way too much for me to handle. :-)
I think you could do it, if you had a controller. The keyboard controls are garbage.
Also, one of the huge problems that makes it so goddamn hard to get into is that the designers intentionally don't explain things very well, and that's even for the basics.
I can see not wanting to hold players' hands, but they go out of their way to make it so you end up on some wiki just to learn about the stats and what-not.

I know, right? There's bound to be more games on here that I want, but I'm somewhat of an impulsive buyer. If something shows up on sale and it looks nice, I'll go for it. :P

That's a different way of buying items...I can't think of anyone else who does such things...-stifles hysterical laughter-

You don't have a whole lot of games, but you have mostly very good ones. MUCH more sensible than my "collection". :-)

Thanks. :P While Steam doesn't exactly make me happy, I also have a reasonable number of games on there, so my collection is somewhat spread out. And I own some things through Humble as well. And there's nothing wrong with having a large collection, right? ;) MUCH more sensible than my "collection". :-)
Well, if I had a steady income, I think my list of impulse buys would be much, much longer than it is now. :P But while I'm still a student I have to keep my spending in check a bit, which is good for controlling purchases.
