What's the first thing you do when you get home with a new game?

Well.....

I'm one who opens the packaging slowly then blows through the installation process. I never register nor do I participate in any online surveys. I find most of the manuals next to useless except for the larger strategy game manuals. The next thing I do is set everything up (controls and graphics ) and then launch the game for a test run.

I rarely purchase titles anymore because of the ease of finding ripped titles on the net. It's very hard to spend $80-$200 a week on titles that might not be good. For now I download demos and install the odd rip to check the game out. I only purchase games if they require an original key to play online. Halflife was a purchase because I wanted Counter Strike and a fresh key.

Considering the purchase price was $20 I had to buy it for myself. Actually, one halflife key will support 2 clients so I hooked up my roomate with a free copy. The only catch is you can't be in the same server. So at $10 a piece you truly can't go wrong.
