Yes, it was a scary story. If I remember correctly including some police officers harassing him or something like that.

On the other hand... Do I need a visa for the UK now?

Scrolling through my games and some online stores like Steam and GOG and don't know what to play.
Maybe C&C Generals Zero Hour once again?

Story of my gaming life... scrolling through games not knowing what to play.

yepp...
Or maybe something like Wing Commander Privateer or Freelancer. Both are great games. Is there something comparable?
EDIT:

Some days I leave ML feeling like I contributed and learned.
Today is not one of those days!

Why not? You learned something about Linux and its flavors today.

Oh how much I love the Origin client... "Download queued", "Update queued"... and stuck.

But I really love SysInternals tools: Origins download cache was pointing to an external USB harddrive that wasn't attached to my PC. Couldn't change the cache location in the client because it tried to delete files in the old cache before moving to the new location. Poor application design.

Yeah but I am also getting my ass kicked on Linux filesystems, haha.

Easy, I guess you didn't learn everything about Windows filesystems during a single day. In Linux, it's all about making a choice. There are plenty of filesystems like ext2..4, btrfs, zfs, xfs but also other things like gluster or even some very special things like unionfs (mentioned that just today here at ML) for example. Same for your text editor: Like vim? nano? emacs? What boot system do you like? Are you more the upstart guy? Or systemd? Bootloader: LILO or grub/grub2?
Linux (or the world of the "userland") isn't something you will master in a week or so. It takes years. Just try to understand the concepts.

We haven't actually gotten to the filesystem yet

For example, Windows has FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, ReFS, ISO9660 and more that you need to know. Plus they have Basic (Partitioned) and Dynamic (LVM) disks. They have symlinks and hardlinks. They have mount points. Plus they have that pesky lettering system that is totally unique and extra compared to any major OS. There is Windows Software RAID and SoFS now, too.

To add a few: EXFAT, UFS and various other optical media related filesystems
Most people I've met never heard about hardlinks in Windows
Keep in mind, Symlinks do not work exactly like symlinks in POSIX filesystems. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365006(v=vs.85).aspx
