0:00.0	Hello, and welcome again to the Geek Box episode 646, I'm your host Ryan Scott, and with
0:18.7	me again is Ben Berkhalter, hey everybody, hey, and we're here again to just babble about
0:27.6	Sierra. I told you, I told you we would have another one, and there's a bunch of stuff we just
0:34.2	didn't talk about last time, so I hope that everybody out there isn't sick of it, because you know,
0:39.9	you know me and Sierra, that's just how it goes. How's been going since last week?
0:46.1	It's good, it's good. I have apparently some crimes to answer for, so yeah, yeah, yeah, I got
0:53.9	some feedback from some listeners, so I guess my correction is what I discussed about the
1:04.4	copy protection that can't have been how we broke the copy protection on CR games, and to tell
1:10.0	you the truth, I don't know, we're talking something that was like what, 30, 30 years ago now,
1:15.3	over 30 years ago, I don't know how we were talking about. So we were talking about the copy protection
1:19.6	on discs, and I had copied discs, and what I remember was that we would punch a hole in them,
1:27.2	and that would work, and that that just can't be right. That's not what it was that wasn't the
1:32.2	copy protection they had. I don't know how to answer the people that reached out to give me
1:36.0	corrections. I don't know how to answer. We had copy discs. I remember making copies of the discs.
1:42.4	I probably have like in my leadership Larry Wombach or something, there's probably a copied
1:46.5	disc of disc one, because there's one disc, but I remember when you would put in a copy disc,
1:52.0	it would be like, please insert the original, and you didn't insert the original, it'd be like,
1:55.6	okay, we've done the check now, insert the copied disc, you know, we would make copies of them
2:00.5	just in case the original failed or something, you know, so we weren't like, maybe we're down the
2:06.3	original. Maybe that was it, because we had a damaged disc on King's Quest 5, and we got locked
2:11.3	out until we copied it. Right, and so, well, those early games, they would just have that
2:18.6	check right at the front, and you had to have the original disc, but then later games,
