Hey guys, is there anyway to back up Origin games? I know how to do it for Steam. Should I just copy and paste the entire Origin folder?

I assume you want to save the updates.

Also I assume you are reformatting? In that case you reinstall origin first and then you replace the new origin games folder with the one you copied........when you run origin it should detect that they are there and do the necessary bits of setup

I think it is about time I do that, first I need a 64bit version of windows 7 pro.......still stuck with 32 bit so I can only use 3gb of my 4gb, and 4gb is not a huge amount any more either

meh, but 64-bit cost R1500

I hear that they estimate that more than 60% of the world's population will be watching the Opening Ceremony tonight. Does 60% of the world's population really have nothing better to do?

THE_STIG · Post by **THE_STIG** » 27 Jul 2012, 19:07

clearly they dont.

Opening ceremonies are as a general rule horrendously boring anyway

Phew, spent the last 5 hours cleaning my PC, putting my SSD in (which for some reason NZXT made almost impossible to do), installing windows, drivers and other stuff. Still need to back up. Installing windows over again sucks.

Thanks Stig!

Cleaning PC, I must get round to doing that. the front intake is caked in dust.

I see everyone is going mad for lincon park tickets, not a bad band but they dont do it for me so I am still waiting for a proper band to come here. the Rolling Stones maybe, Pink Floyd(but that wont happen for obvious reasons), ACDC.....

mmmm, but OMD are coming aren't they, wonder if tickets are still available for that

Post by **Ron2K** » 28 Jul 2012, 01:16

You asked for a proper band?

Tribble · Post by **Tribble** » 28 Jul 2012, 10:31

I actually enjoyed the opening ceremony last night

Roger Waters' last concert was apparently better than Berlin.

Also going to see Dark Knight Rises, and finally get BF3 on PC.

I liked the bit with the music, and Rowan Atkinson. Also it proved what I am forever on about - that music died at the end of the 20th century with just the occasional blip of decent stuff left

After the bit with the 60's, 70's, 80's then 90's you just got some fool with a backwards hat making some odd noises.....with the exception of Muse(which is good)
