Description
I figured with Windows 8 releasing today and all the talk of backwards compatibility that this would be a good topic to touch upon. Dead formats and all the pain it causes gamers, oh the pain...Related content

Just waiting for the moment to rise up and strike! The way I see it, the sooner we move to solid state media the quicker we can remove spinning weapons of death from our machines to use against us during the great machine uprising. XD

Thats actually a reasonable theory how ever if a computer wanted to it could shut down all its fans and over heat to the point of a fire while you sleep. >> but i suppose if your like me and live in a basement it would be a great change of pace lol

Lol yeah given my computer sits under a wooden desk next to walls with wooden panneling which meet with a drop ceiling of highly flammable tile...It would get warm fast....knowing me... I would just curl up and enjoy the heat lol

Sudden epiphany- One day in our lifetimes, USBs, which weren't around when we were born, will be useless.
Oh god, I feel old and it hasn't even happened yet...

I feel old just thinking about it! USB 3.0 already has a standard built in to support wireless transfer... it's only a matter of time ;_;

Hey my old copy of X-wing, lets play...
Oh I see windows no longer supports DOS though a DOS prompt...
Happy ending to this story. Went through my parents storage shed and found my old old old computer from 2001 with a brand new version of Windows ME. Runs like crap but good for older games i can't run anywhere else. Seriously a whole computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse and joystick set-up from a decade ago, to run a 20 year old game.

XD I was originally thinking of making this a 2 comic piece about that same problem, lol!
Yeah, it seems for older games like that we're stuck with either an old computer or an emulator. It'd be nice if Microsoft could make some sort of DOS emu with the newer OS they release, think of the gamers MS! Think of us!
