Well first off, I do like CD's yes, but they take for fucking ever on a
good graphics game.  I am very very very impatient, just ask some people
on here that know me.  I hate to wait.  Also I don't mind paying more
for a good game, I guess cause I have money and you don't, you broke ass
mother bi*ch.  :)
