    Thethinice told me to make this thread so here it is.

    Just talk about anything and everything Steam.

    And btw, this is Steam the PC and Mac gaming store, not the steam that comes out of Cup of Noodles. :p

    Steam burns. Be careful making cup noodles.

    I used to love Steam back in the day, played Half Life, Counter Strike etc. until Portal came out and it used to crash about halfway through most levels on my ancient PC so I gave up.

    Fast forward and now I have a Macbook Air and I'm looking forward to getting into some old classics, and new games too...and to be honest I'm pretty disappointed. Old games like Half Life won't play, and new games I really want to play like Magic the Gathering aren't compatible. Or should that be the other way round?

    Either way, I know its still quite fresh on Mac, but still annoyingly sparse.

    Free TF2 was an upside I'll admit...

    I'm pretty pissed that Battlefield 3 won't be coming to Steam.

    If you need to find some silver lining, Origin isn't half bad and works pretty well.

    It's no Steam, but oh well.

    Ahh if only Battlefield 3 came out on Steam. I really don't like Origin, because the only games they're going to be selling are EA games.

    One big downside to Origin is the fact that they close your account after 1 or 2 years of inactivity and you lose your games too.

    Steam likes pissing me around.

    It's slow, clunky and most of the games available on it are not compatible with Macs. Portal 2 was good on it though, and TF2 as well.

    I hate having to load up Steam every time I want to play a Steam game, makes everything so much slower.

    Note: You Must go to the website I posted to install the following games:
    Sam & Max Episode 104: Abe Lincoln Must Die! (Why? Offered for free but is nowhere to be found on the steam storefront)

    If you're talking about vapor then I rather not talk about it...


    But if you're talking about Valve software's steam then the first thing that comes to mind is TF2... is it worth getting back into? Also why did they choose to brand it "free to play"... wasnt it always free to play?

    Hey guys, is anyone else going to get Civ V while it's on sale for $17? I've been waiting for this to go on sale for forever and now the moment I get some money into my account I'll be purchasing it.
