    Well, now I feel like a bug under a glass.

    Dr. Candycane has come to investigate the quaint habits of an isolated
    tribe of Usenetters in their native habitat.

    I hope that the eventual documentary at least has David Attenborough >narrating ;-)

    Or failing that, Jeremy Clarkson, with maximum snark.

    Heh. I didn't notice. I just did it the old-fashioned way (get the
    code, manually go to GOG, select 'redeem codes' and paste it in
    manually). I'm actually happier that way, since it provides (the
    illusion) of separation between GOG and Amazon.

    It was free games; it's not's like I was going to let a few extra
    steps stop me! ;-)

    "At the Time", I assume. Seeing as he is 66 now.

    (in fairness, I've never seen it written out as AtT either)


    Me neither, but that makes a lot of sense.
