Man, I really wish I was able to come!
Alas, life had to be a bore.

I've always liked having physical copies of things because there's a part of me that feels like I own it. This is my copy. While digital is more practical, I always feel that the file can get corrupted, or there's a chance I can lose it forever. Plus, the physical copy of a game may come with some bonuses that you might not get with a digital copy, similar to special features on a DVD/Blu-ray for a movie, but not for the digital copy.

Always asking the tough questions. And I completely forgot about all the Lightning Returns stuff, and how much fun it was to troll with questions. Come to think of it...

I will say this, disregarding any DRM schemes that are put into place, I feel digital will be the only way to actually have something forever (Forever being however long you want it). Physical things rot and deteriorate. Really old cartridges and the connectors for cartridges on game systems can fail. I mean who can ever forget about just blowing into a cartridge and hoping it then works? haha. But they do eventually fail. CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays can suffer disc rot and become unplayable. And there are a myriad of other things that will just cause physical media to eventually become un-usable. Of course in many cases these process can take decades to fully destroy everything, but if we are talking about preserving the game's themselves and being able to play them whenever, no matter how far into the future it may be; keeping a digital archive is the best way to maintain that. Preferably, it'd be a solution where the archive is stored at multiple places at once just in case if there is hardware failure on a one end, everything is still saved somewhere.

It does mean not having a physical collection to display...but I'm sure you can replicate that somehow with like blank game cases and boxart if you have the money lol.

Is anyone else having issues downloading the podcast? I tried twice and it just stops around 19 minutes in...

Do you mean the buffering while listening to the audio player in this thread?

No, the actual download for the podcast's file. Like, trying to play it off of my computer's music player.

Ah, okay. I wouldn't know how to help, then. I just listen to them on here. Sorry. :x

Yeah.Now that I have installed the PS2 Emulator,I've been trying to Play Kingdom Hearts II but it so laggy and hardware settings doesn't show the game image. Overall, Digital games are good, and I really hope that Magic Kingdom Hearts Project finally makes Disneyland put Kingdom Hearts in Because that would be fun to see.

Just gave it a go and it worked fine for me. Perhaps try right-clicking the audio and doing save target as (or whatever it is, depending on your browser).

Worked now, got the full 68 minutes :>

Well, it is, because 60 minutes is one hour.

Adding to the discussion digital: it's really the only viable way for most indie developers to make profits from their games. People can forget just how much it costs to produce physical copies and distribute them.
