    Words cannot convey how sketchy the MP4 codec scene was, pirating media in the Windows XP era. Every month you’d have to find some DivX CCCP K-Lite [cracked].7zip.exe and roll the fuckin’ dice.

    We were very proficient at reinstalling our operating systems.

        Media Player Classic still rules. Feature-rich with zero bullshit.
