Hello all,
was away for a bit there, good to be back in the mezz and getting my butt kicked again. Thanks all for that! Boy, I got rusty!
Also, great to see some faces even newer than mine! Yey!
I have a somewhat off-topic question, you are the community I trust and respect the most, so I will ask you:
I live in Germany and despise playing games localized to the German language, it often makes me shiver, and so far I have not purchased a localized game in the last 6 years. I wanted to get my hands on
- Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (I have the soundtrack, since I adore Amon Tobin)
- Fallout 3
- Deus Ex 2
- The Witcher
but have not been able to find the games in English, only localized versions. Sadly, it appears that something radically EVIL has happened to direct2drive -- I can no longer purchase any of the games, they are removed from my cart due to "country restrictions": only Americans and Mexicans apparently can purchase any of these games. To me, this seems preposterous and defeats the entire purpose of that website.
So my questions is: What to do? From where can I download these games? And barring that, from where can I purchase them in English Original without much problem from a European, preferably: German distributor? I see that I can get some from American distributors, but it is against my religion to pay $12 shipping and handling.
Any tips? Thank you much in advance and hopefully -- see you in the mezz!
