My CD-key includes the word “PEZ”

Filed under: Games — wedge55 @ 10:51 AM

So I’m installing Tribes: Vengeance right now - the install program is literally running while I type this - and though the game seems to be proof positive that Irrational is quite literally a manufacturer of dreams (based only on demos (plural), betas, and reviews), this game has what has to be the worst installation program ever. The status bar quickly filled to its brim, despite the fact that I am on only the first install CD of four, which came not in a multi-CD jewel case, but in four separate cheap paper sleeves. Meanwhile, my CD-ROM drive is making horrible, horrible sounds akin to the fevered mating of imaginary wild beasts.

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned my complete distain for Vivendi Universal before, despite the fact that they pretty much let Blizzard do whatever the hell they damn well please. I think the real shame with VU Games, as apposed to something like Acclaim, is that the games they publish and the developers they represent are usually quite good. Maybe they should put some effort into reflecting that.

  1. My CD-key reads “TPR GRE WRD N69″ but I just can’t seem to figure out what it means.

  3. I think your CD means “TIPPER GORE AND WARDEN 69″ but I could be mistaken…

    How much is that OVERLORD in the window? (BLARGH! BLARGH!)
