Okay, I had to turn down my settings on my vid card OC to factory BUT IT WORKS!

Damned simulator sickness gets me now, lol. FPS games do it to me every time. Anyone got some ginger?

PORTAL IS AWESOME!

And the cake is a lie.

I found out it was free last week, downloaded it, and proceeded to clear the entire game that night. I finished all the advanced modes the day after. Sooo much fun.

It is very different from any other puzzle or shooter game I have played before. It is so simple, and yet so complex at the same time.

If only I could find where to make your own maps… and my wow career may be doomed.

Steam is a gateway/launcher. Don’t discount it yet. I’ve downloaded $100 of games for $30 recently, they run deals all the time. I recommend Civ4, Tropico 3, Portal, Counterstrike: Source(only if you like FPS), or EVE online(for a new MMO flavor). Also, Plants vs. Zombies! I think I need to write something up on the awesomeness that is Steam. I’ve been using it since since Valve ‘forced’ (wasn’t mandatory, but they made it seem like it was) Counterstrike players to use it circa ’04/’05.

I’m slowly downloading Portal. Does this mean after I get the game I can uninstall Steam, or is it going to be like a gateway/launcher for the game each time?

they have pretty good deals.
too bad that the x-coms are all dosbox ports not remade to handle current tech. (bet it won’t even run on my new dual core x64 win 7 box.)

Just hearing the word “portal” puts the song into my mind and I starting singing along and grinning and want to play it again :D

Regarding the price of games, now you’ve got Steam you can watch for the deals they have every week. I’ve picked up Civ 4 and all it’s expansion packs for $10US just recently, and previously got a bundle of racing games (DIRT, DIRT2, FUEL, Grid, Toca3) for the same price. I check the following thread on Saturdays to see what the current deals are: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=518670
