    Sign Ups For DOTA 2 Beta Go Live

    I haven't played DoTA much. The community scared me away :S But maybe that would make me a good tester, at least if they're going to test matching setups and community features. As for the game, I can't provide any expert knowledge, but at least I can see if its fun from my perpective. I'm...

    New Hi-Res shots of Portal 2 Surface, Companion Cube Returns

    Most likely. I'm not sure if you'll be playing on highest settings however. I got a setup much like yours, albeit a GTS 250. The CPU is still fairly good; most things are still only for two cores, so we're still somewhat high end with quad. I think it'll depend on your graphics card and the...

    Steam launches "Recommended for you"

    It's a frequent pattern matcher. Amazon and countless others use those. They can be fairly accurate, if given enough data. So it will, if they did it right, become more accurate as data is collected, and as purchases are made such that it can learn the patterns. These systems can never...

    November Poll: Have you bought anything from the Mann Co TF2 Store?

    Yep. Bought two poly pack weapons when it came out, because I didn't have the patience to wait. A single key as well. And I bought a Halloween hat. But I got the money for it, so it's no problem. It's sort of strange, because I dislike micro transactions for MMO RPG's. But that's because I...

    The Conversation 16: Interview with Gabe and Jason

    Actually he did answer. But I think that the answer was expected to be a simple explanation of Steam as in its a distribution system. Instead he goes in to very high detail, explains the progress of the industry since the beginning, the advent, effects and future of the Internet, the success and...

    It's Official, Steam Coming to Linux

    I have no reason not to use Linux now either. Except that I program for Windows. But heck, maybe that should change? Can always have windows installed as well.

    "The Passing" DLC to be released next week.

    Louis must die. I will do my utmost to destroy him. I hate his humour and his attitude, and he looks like a zombie with that white shirt. Go to hell Louis! Francis, Zoey and Bill are awesome.

    Pre-Purchase Bioshock 2 on Steam Now

    I don't understand. Why use Windows Live on a platform that has its own community functionality. Why use SecuROM on a platform that has built-in DRM functionality. It's strange. It's like double up on everything :|

    Anyone else want an unhappy ending?

    Happy endings are sooo Hollywood. I want misery, death and despair. Maybe something like the ending in 1984. Let's see the resistance crumble, and the love between Alyx and Gordon shattered by the oppressive might of the Combine. On the other hand that wouldn't make room for a good...

    When do you expect VALVe to break their ridiulously long silence on Episode Three?

    I want Episode 3 :( This got to be the game that I've waited the longest for. Luckily there's other games that I'm also hyped for (such as Dragon Age which I've preordered), to help fill the void, but this is the game that I want the most. I'm a bit dissatisfied with their original idea about...

    Metal Drift on Steam & Competition

    I'm thinking about Metal Storm in the front and the back. The smart thing about that, is that I can then choose the amount of force I want to use. If shit hits the fan, I can unload everything into an opponent in the front or the back, which would surely cripple his vehicle; afterwards I'd be...

    CSS SCI FI 3: Hardwired Released

    I can't install :( It just says Steam is not installed. Got Steam, obviously, and installed CS:S. I've had these trouble before. Why does it have to be an installer? It always works when I'm doing it manually. How does it check for the existence of Steam? I got it at C:\Steam\. If I could...

    Left 4 Dead 2 Ratings Update

    I think they set out to create an adult game from the start. Which I love them for. I hardly ever buy games that's NOT 18+. There's a big crowd out there, that's above 18, and we're growing each year. (Literally) No reason to only make games for the younger crowds, there's plenty of money to be...
