Does anyone use this?

While playing xbox a couple days ago, someone told me they have seen me logged into WoW for the past couple days. I haven't renewed my subscription for like 6 months. I contacted Blizzard to get them to reset my information and they asked me to sign up for battle.net

I love this thing. The reason I love steam is because it keeps all my games together and lets me download them. Battle.net now works the same way, you can enter your CD keys and download the game from your account -- which is really nice when your D2 or SC disks are like 10 years old and have the scratches to prove it.

I'm still trying to find my WC3 disk though. I never played it because it's in French and it just feels farked up. But with this, it would let me download it in English; maybe i'll finally be able to finish the WC3 single player campaign.

Screens of how it works:

I remember we used to play every morning before home class in high school. We would get to class like 30 minutes early. All you had to do was install it (same cd key, just change last 4 digits) and once the game launched, take the disk out and pass it to the next guy.

Then hit up some Quake 2 LAN during lunch.

Good days.

Motherfuckers have become pro nowadays, can't install shit on our PCs at school and can't run through USB sticks :(
