definitely getting it, but im sure ill be waiting for the first benchmark to finish three hours later.

under requirements: "2GB HDD"..... really? ..... did they mean to say 2GB free disk space? because... well, 2GB HDD sounds like a requirement from fifteen years ago.

yes, that would be free space, and i have a pair of HDDs that total less than 2GB but i don't think they work anymore anyways(they were in a '95)
