Today Keeps Getting Worse.

<div class="IPBDescription">AND WORSE.</div> ARGH. I'm ready to scream, I finally fixed my CD-ROM drive (somewhat, it only stutters if something is being read from the disc that I'm listening to, so it's definately dying. Got another one coming from new egg tommorow)

Anyhow, I just picked up Battlefield 2...


And there's NO CD-KEY ON IT.

Or at least, one that I can see.

Can someone who bought the game tell me where the CD-KEY is located? I can't find one on my package or in the manual.

    Hrm, nevermind. Found it... GOD I'm an idiot (It was at the top of the back of the manual... and here I took apart the case...)

    On a completely unrelated note:

Then my mom and sister combined basically got the old woman working that desk fired for being a moron <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

    [I actually got it to try out Firearms...and then I figured I'd break out some more mods, like Wizwars (which 2-4 people were playing, total), DoD and eventually NS.]





    Anyway, nothing to do with the actual thread, which has resolved itself; just thought I'd make fun of bitchy old women who can't make logical connections between returns, products and of-age-purchasing...

    Yea you’ve got to look around because when you buy a PC game now-a-days you’re really buying two games. The actual PC game you paid for and "Find the Hidden CD Key" that comes free.

    I've found them on separate cards I had already thrown out, on the front cover of manuals, on the back cover, inside the CD cover on a separate paper, inside the back of the CD cover etc...

    What ever happened to the good old days when the CD key was always on the back of the CD cover!?

    It's the latest form of security protection against copying. Its so awesome, you can't even install the game.

    its because rat bastard kids would go into stores open up the boxes and take the cd case and if the CD key is on the case then they got that too now adays if they want to steal it they gotta make a big scene looking for a paper with a cd key on it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The best way to protect CD keys and the actual whatever is inside (CD), usally just putting boxes out, then let the customer bring to you(meaning whoever is the clerk) the box, then you bring them the actual box/cd/stuff from the "Supar Sekrat" room with all the real stuff.

    In the far future
    We'll play games without the keys
    It will be called "Steam"

    You buy it online
    And it's tied to your account
    No keys or worry

    You may think I'm a
    Dreamer, but I'm not the on-
    ly one. Someday

    Maybe you'll join us
    And the world will live as one

    Meanwhile, today we went to Taco Bell... Everyone (me, sister, mom) ordered meals, and I also ordered some Cinnamon Twists. While I'm eating my nacho supreme baha burrito tequila whatever, my sister (18), who didn't even even finish her quasedila or however you spell it (not to mention the additional taco supreme), just reaches in and grabs half the damn twists. Now, it wouldn't be a problem if these were some delicacy, or she perhaps asked, but she just randomly goes after the bag, and she easily could've ordered her own for like, 80 cents.

    It just sorta ticks me off when people decide they have permission to eat your food for you, especailly when they're not in need and could've gotten food before. Sorta irritated me, but then my dog **** in her car on the way home, so I felt better :D

    Thats imbalanced! We should nerf it so you can't reach in someone elses bag of food without asking, maybe in the next verison of real life. Also they need to nerf gorges, I mean they're overpowered, they can spit and kill you.

    Also, yes steam is ugly, WON looked much better.

    Remember

    upgrading from G/F v 9.3 to Wife v 1.0 can be a pain, cause certain aps stop working

    Example

    Bar 3.2 will cease to function
    Sex 2.5 will become eradic and not always work
    Temper 4.2 will often self activate

    auxiliary programs that aid in the usage of Wife 1.0

    DiamondRing 6.3
    Roses 12.0
    DinnerDate 2.3

    Be sure not to run DinnerDate 2.3 with AttractiveWaitress beta 0.4.0.2, there's a glitch that'll cause eyes.exe to stop responding, and Wife.exe will perform unpredictibly.
