    Eurogamer: "Devs Owe You Nothing"

    I disagree. I contend that Valve does owe us. We bought their games. We bought Half Life, Counter Strike, Left 4 Dead, Portal and all of their other great games. We buy games on Steam. We make mods for their games, which, in turn, promotes their games. We fund their all of their projects with...

    Valve and OnLive are Friends

    I've used Onlive and it works. The games run smoothly and they look crisp. Obviously, there are some concessions. Games don't look or run at a frame rate as good as they would on a good PC, and the lag is noticeable, but it's getting better. Being able to play Assassin's Creed 2 on my HP netbook...

    Item Trading and a New Game Mode Coming to TF2 Next Month

    Sounds great. Valve's TF2 updates seldom disappoint. I do, too. He really needs it.

    Counter Strike: Source on Mac, 66% off

    This is why I love Valve. This game was released 6 years ago, back in 2004. Now, in 2010, it's received the biggest update in the history of the game and is still one of the most played PC games there is. And it's free. THIS is developer support. Not Infinity Ward and Activision reselling old...

    Steam Growth for 2009

    Pretty awesome. Is there a link to the press release or was it emailed to HL2.net by Valve?

    EP3 Wait?

    Because Valve is a business and an L4D sequel would make more money than another HL2 episode ever would. They have no obligation to make us happy. While it's nice that they are such an ethical game company, it's their job to make money, not to make us happy.

    Portal on the iPhone?

    While it's impressive that someone did that, it looks absolutely horrible.

    New Team Fortress 2 Update Released

    I'm probably one of the 4 people genuinely excited/happy about this update. Whenever water is shot, the ripple effect/the particles of water that are sent up into the air lag the hell out of my computer for a second of two. I can't tell you how many times I've died because of that.

    2009 - no EP3 info!

    With Steam, TF2, L4D and various engine updates that they have to keep up with, I doubt we'll be seeing Episode 3 for a while. I wouldn't expect anything but more cryptic information by the end of the year.

    Why are those electric Xen aliens on our side in HL2?

    Ha, no. They talk in an archaic form of English. Shakespearean, in a way.

    Spore is Coming to Steam?

    The gaming community is such dicks. They try to hide upcoming releases or anything secret pertaining to games, and we just find them anyway.
