Can you imagine, going to a website to have DVDs mailed to you, because streaming and smartphones weren't around yet?
I did try that back in the day, but mostly back then I was just illegally downloading everything I watched.

The world's changed quite a bit since I worked in the VHS rental part of a gas station.
I can remember renting not only the tapes, but the VCR, because they were a thing not everyone owned, yet. It was probably about a year after I graduated from university that I first bought a VCR of my own.

I'm pretty sure I still have my ISOs. I'm also pretty sure I offered the last time you brought it up. I'm certain you still won't want to download my shaded bits...

Our first VCR was BetaMax. I finally threw away the last of my VHS (and Beta!) tapes a few months ago.

For some reason we still have no less than seven VHS tapes in my household. I don't know why, I'm positive we do not have a working reader unit...

It's the enterprise license key in the jewel case with it that I'm really concerned about.
Edit: I'm pretty sure my Office 2000 CD is hanging out with it as well. I'd rather use that than WordPerfect Office X4 to be honest.

Huh, I didn't think you could get Enterprise with a standalone key. I've always had it KMS...

@Tsaukpaetra I either have the key with the CD or it was slipstreamed in. I really don't recall as the last time I installed Windows looks like 2012.

I also have original 5.25" floppys of Windows 2

@dfdub said in The Official Status Thread:
story mission that's pretty much impossible to play with a controller. Tried for 2 hours, then temporarily switched to keyboard+mouse and succeeded immediately.
Eh. The same happened to me as I was playing through Portal 2 recently. I was getting increasingly frustrated at not being able run perfectly straight ahead until I thought of using the keyboard and immediately succeeded.
And typing that I just realised that the controller also has directional buttons so that I didn't actually need to switch to the keyboard, I could just have moved my finger from the stick to the buttons I guess I'm not used of thinking with
portalscontrollers yet.

Also, this scene hints that the agents have powers that they don't actually seem to have. But then he wakes up like it's a bad dream. But then they find the robot inside him like it did happen.

I choose to believe he was drugged and not precisely lucid, so it was Anderson's imagination producing the effect.

It sucks as a narrative excuse. Just how unreliable is our narrator? Is the whole scene a delusion? If it was just the mouth thing, how did the agent's dialogue coincide perfectly; power of suggestion? But he barely suggested anything.
Maybe they could manipulate Neo's body because he was still hardwired into the Matrix, but not when he jacked in through other channels. But if they had total control over him then, they should have been able to easily prevent his escape.

Manipulation of Neo's perception of his body being an impossible thing in your book?
