I didn't get into PC gaming at all until 2001 or 2002 and Dungeon Siege was the first new release I bought (or Jedi Outcast?). Everything before that was catching up on HL and Grim Fandango, or whatever. Anyways, I really got into gaming for a while at that time (gaming and drinking and squash and pond hockey. Basically anything but school and thinking about the future) and I have really fond memories of looking up Dungeon Siege on the internet and getting really excited. I think I also bought my Geforce 3 ti200 specifically to make sure it would run awesome.
So, this news kinda makes me sad, but at the same time I haven't really touched any of their games since.
Oh, and that was about the same time I started talking to all of you fools.
