I may well give that a look - thanks.

The thing I like about them the most is that you can also have an onsite copy of your backups. If caps are a concern you can still backup all the stuff onto an external disk and then just spoon feed it a bit each month until you've got it all backed up.

I've got an uncapped connection and they're storing at least a terabyte of my data, so whatever you have is probably going to be limited only by any caps you might have and the ability to physically upload it.

Backblaze is another one worth considering, but I found the limited download time for restores to be problematic and I wound up losing files because of that.

I heard there some island down in the Pacific where a bunch of those AOL CDs washed up on shore. Local tribals used them to build an eco-friendly village out of them. Trouble is, the CDs reflected light from the sun, and the reflected light from the CDs caused a fire to break out and the entire island burned down. I tell ya, those AOL CDs were always bad news.

I bought Witcher 3 on CD. Well actually as DVD. Very few games come to stores on Turkey. In the past before i met GOG, i had to pirate some of the games because there was no way of buying them. This made piracy a kind of endustry in Turkey which made the game developers stay away from Turkey. But thanks to GOG, we can buy the games now digitally.

I still keep the original games lik Baldur's Gate and Diablo 2. I guess I own over a 100 CD games in my closet. But I got old and met GOG and Steam so i only bought a few games in the last 5 years. Cos you know, I like to hold things i own. :)

I tried playing frisbee with one once. I may as well have been playing catch with a sawblade.
Yeah I know the feeling. Still got my Doom and Diablo CDs. They have had quite the journey.

*looks at avatar* What about your Grim Fandango CDs?

:P

Who needs cd's...

When you get have this!

Man does Facebook suck...

My fucking neck...

Tell me about it. Bastards refused to put it up the way I filmed it and didn't tell me until I posted it.

i haven't any CDs since a year ago and only if it's from the bargain bin on on sale. which reminds me that i should be backing up from of my GOGgames on CD. but its such a chore.

i feel like using only microSDs for backup but costs, and i'll still be restricted to USB 2.0 speeds because the built-in card reader is funky. and flash media don't seem to be capable of lasting more than 5 years without data corruption. not in the tropic anyways.

I wonder if nanotechnology would be able to do anything with them? I can only imagine that it would take atomic-level reconstruction to knock the useless out of those things.

Sadly no. I ahem, "Jolley Rogered" them until they were available on GOG. Copies were just too expensive and gettring it to run right was a pain in the ass before the Scumm Emulator.

Checking my Shelf I now only own 1 CD. Bakc in Black in a non jewel case. Damn what happened to all my CDs.......

Oh yeah I discovered napster back in the day, thats what happened >_>

I usually buy digital nowadays, thanks to regional pricing and no thanks to strong US dollar. Buying digital on Steam gives me, on average, 50-70% cheaper games. And I get my music through iTunes without worrying about the hassle of importing CDs at inflated prices.
