Henry, they most likely brought the game on an external like a large flash drive and are running it off of that, just using the school's internet.

Is that really possible? Wikipedia says it's a 25 gb install, and it seems like USB's practical 18 mb/s transfer limit would really make that difficult... |
A friend of mine did it with Counterstrike on our computers at school so I don't see why you couldn't.
If I had my gun with me I would totally top that picture, James. And besides, at that time Macs were still better than... let's see, that computer is running Apple 8... that would've been around at the same time as Window's 95  Macs are so much easier to use than your sh*t computers.

I'd rather use IE than a Mac.

Clearly none of your opinions are based on facts or logic. The differences between these things are trivial but nerds get all worked up about it, perhaps because it gives meaning to their otherwise empty lives. Oh no, I can't be f**ked to deal with Linux, and Mac has an OK UI even if it's a little annoying sometimes what will I do with my time? And my sister's Macbook has survived an unbelievable amount of physical abuse at her hands. My dad and I both take pretty good care of our PC laptops and they both got incredibly slow and sh*tty after a year. Maybe the Apple tax was worth it.

My neighbor has a similar laptop, he uses it because it has a serial port or something.

That's a shame, Steve. Have you been looking at jobs already so you're lined up to do something straight out of college? |
I want to go straight onto Uni. I've handed in CVs to some places but I haven't heard anything. Most people my age are struggling to find employment. |
Oh, my bad, I assumed you were in your last year of Uni. Yeah, it is rough trying to find a job in this day. |
Haha I take it I'm part of a minority being 17?
