Teaching an Elite Dog New Tricks

I was getting my normal "Man, it's almost Monday" COD2 fix last night, when Karma Kramer popped on and sent a general Haye Guys message out.  I replied and offered for him to join my game.

Oh no, he says, I would but I am downloading the BIOSHOCK Demo. 

Oh yes!  This set up a domino panic affect that I am sure was being repeated between online friends across the country.  I immediately dropped my game, went to my dashboard and began downloading.  Of course I sent a message to some of my friends letting them know it was available.  I am sure a lot of people did that.

Thus began the hilarity of 1000 people downloading at one time.  My little status bar would get up to about 17%, then it would start going backwards. So, I signed off, restarted - and it had dropped even lower!  HAHA - You are not worthy, we are taking the demo back from you! - My Elite seemed to be mocking me with that green eye.  I took it as a challenge and decided I would play it tonite no matter what.  I started up some single player PSU - wow, first time I have used that acronym - and settled in to wait.

Three hours and a box of cheeze-its later - still no higher than 32%.  So I gave in, Enabled offline downloads - which I am not sure why I didn't think about that before - and went to bed.

Today I am super-sleepy, but anxious to go home and play it - I think I might take a long lunch...... WOOT!
