Since getting a copy of Grand Theft Auto III from Binkle’s computer one evening back in the winter, I’ve had a craving to get the rest of the Grand Theft Auto titles into my collection of PC games (where they will sit with Max Payne and Indigo Prophecy). However, I’ve encountered a problem.

My former copy of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has disappeared. It was on my hard drive, and on a disc called “Binks Amazing CD”, but both have vanished. As for San Andreas, I tried to get it from Binkle, but he’d deleted it. I tried to download it, but BitTorrent informs me that - at my current speed - it will be full downloaded in 3017 days. So, in almost a decade, when Grand Theft Auto XI is on store shelves, I should be able to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on my computer.

Stupid technology. I definitely don’t want to buy San Andreas again though…
