Transmission T²: If Classic Games Had DLC

DLC already has its fair share of complaints, what if it had started even earlier?

Well it’s been a long weekend (and recovery period) from weddings and other grown-up things, but I’m back. Sorry if you’ve felt a bit neglected while I’ve been gone, but you know how these things go, right? I mean, I see you’ve made yourself quite at home in this corner of…the woods. Actually you’ve kind of let yourself go, I dare say, but that is one impressive beard. Are — are those animal bones?

You know what, I can understand if you don’t want to talk right now. I’m just going to leave you these clippers, some soap, and this video about the horrors that DLC would have been inflicted on us in classic games. That’s much more horrible than me being gone, isn’t it? Ok, ok, stop growling. I’ll check up on you in a few days.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.
