A workmate of my mother's partner passed away this week. And rather than just admit that he's worried about his workmate, because that would be "unmanly", he's being more abrasive than usual.
It's to stop piracy apparently. Why manti needed both though kind of puzzles me. But 5 hours? Can you even play games on a computer that shit?
Both are programmed into the disc, and both need to be installed/activated before the game.
And OBJECTION! The computer is fine, it's the net access that's the problem. Because I live in quite a rural part of England, the broadband speed is the slowest my service provider does (it's roughly equivilant to 56kbps dial-up in speed).
And the main problem with Steam was that it kept losing contact with Valve's servers (which I understand is a common problem, despite the fact that they refuse to admit it happens).
EDIT
@Adri: *hugs* You'll be fine. Break a leg!
(But, not literal, like.)
