Burning CDs and printing out covers for downloaded games just seems pointless to me. I don't make covers for the games I download from Abandonia or Steam.

Yes you may be able to download them again, but maybe some day you won't or your internet is down. There's nothing wrong with making a backup in case of HD failure. If one wants to print a cover as opposed to having a cake box full of loose discs? More power to them.

I just back them up to my external Hard Drives.

I am about to move to a location where highspeed is spotty (at work it will be fine but at home itll probably be dial up or 3g), so downloading and burning to a cd is what I plan on doing going forward - download at work obviously.

I am all over this. Any tips on where to go to print these? I have a standard home printer and assume that anything I print here will look shoddy (not to mention ink-destroying). I suppose I could try Staples.

I wish I could be in on this, but there's so many problems.

For one, the most affordable discs are 4.7 gb DVD's, and several of the games I own wouldn't fit on them. So then I think "okay, just put the installers on the discs and not the games themselves." But then I realize that doing that would leave so much blank space on the disc that it would be a waste to only put one game installer on there. But then that means I can't use one of those fancy covers with the nice art to put on my case.

I can't find a perfect option, so my OCD causes me to just not do it at all.
I feel old when talking to anyone my age yet too inexperienced to effectively talk to anyone older. Life is grand that way.
