Man, I'm beat.
I need some good scotch and a cigar on my nice quiet balcony.

Around January 5th. No firm date yet.
We are assuming 30 days of around the clock downloads and we will probably not get close to having everything that we want downloaded.
30 days of,...downloading..
Think you are downloading more than just Steam....Just Steam. We have like 850 games. And Texas internet is not all that fast.
Why download them all? Why not just the ones you actually WANT to play.
Why would we have bought them if we didn't want to play them?
Touche' lol.

Got a view from that balcony? How close are you to the ocean?

@scottalanmiller only the finest view of the dumpsters and parking lot behind the building. It's quiet though, and no one will bother me there when I get home and throw my cellphone into the fridge "by accident".

I do that sometimes when it is too hot out to keep it from over heating.

I can see oil tankers and derricks from my balcony.

Keep in mind we are a family of four gamers who all play different stuff. So having a lot of material ready is important.

This is also true. I tend to stick with platformers or RPGs like Neverwinter Nights / World of Warcraft... As long as I like the controls in the game, and the story line, I'll play.
Dust was the most fun I've had with a game in ages.

@scottalanmiller -- Just found out that Amazon Cloud Drive will let you watch videos on other devices as well, not just the Amazon TV. Oh, man that's gonna save me SO much storage, lol.

My eldest loves Dust, she plays it a lot.

Yeah, pretty awesome.

In addition to my download being for four people, keep in mind that it is for four people's use over the next 7-8 months! So that is as much as 32 months of gaming that needs to be supplied from a single bout of downloading. We might be able to download fine during that time or we might not, no way to know. So we need to be ready for whatever.
And it isn't just enough games to "play", hopefully it is enough that we get to have normal choices during that time to not just play what is available but to have some flexibility to play what sounds good.
And several of them are series, so if we really get into one series or another we might want to play through it rather than just the first one. So a lot of the downloading is huge.

My six year old is playing Child of Light, she wants to beat it tonight. I don't think that that is very likely, however.

Just saw this ad running on Facebook from SW: "Think you know a thing or two about IT? Prove it by showing your mastery of these useless techie facts." Um, are they saying that knowing IT is "useless?"

My daughter is literally learning about grinding in an RPG right now. She just went and did random encounters to level up two of her characters.
-
And now she is learning about skill trees.

@dominica is at Taco Bell getting us dinner right now.

Have you got them into Baldurs Gate yet? That'd be a series of games that would last you a few months alone.

She's only six, that one is a bit much reading.
