Why does Steam sometimes charge more for packs than individual items?
I just bought CoH for 10 bucks, and noticed the Gold edition charges $29.99 for $24.99 worth of content, it even points that out. :lol

Steam sales are always awesome. If you're a PC gamer who wants to play older games, Steam is your friend.

I think trick is that you more or less have to brute force a game going through invites and whatnot. I find myself feeling up for a game now and then, but rarely feel like starting the invite ball rolling.
Speaking of invites is there any common sense of invite courtesy? I used to not send them to anyone that was away or already in a game, but I've since changed my mind.
Now, as far as I'm concerned I'd rather get invites for stuff no matter my current status than miss out on something I might have a hankering for because I'm dicking around in TF2.

Got Oblivion and F3 GOTY this weekend. I already have F3, but it's cheaper to buy the GOTY than it is to buy all the DLC.

Steam was a very good idea.
Boonoo said:
I actually wish there was some kind of switch for whether or not you're "open for invites". I don't know how people roll on XBL/PSN, but my steam friends list is fucking 200 long, and while I'm obviously not BFF with all of them, I wouldn't mind having an easier way to seeing who's up for some random games.

There are games every fucking day and night. It's definitely not too late for Steam Fortress 2

Nah, the game's pretty easy to pick up and play.
Omiee said:
Still good and fresh. Now's not a bad time to jump in. The furor of the last update has died down and the next won't happen for at least a month and a half, so things are pretty smooth.
It's 10 dollars from Amazon if you don't mind waiting for shipping. You'll still more or less have to download it though since there are so many updates.
Davidion said:
Oh that could be a nice feature. It could just be a little box you flag.
It would be neat to have a dynamic friends list that would rearange itself based on who was up for invites and what game you were playing, so you could jump into L4D2 and everyone that had the game and had hit the invite box would jump to the top of the list.

you know what was awesome? getting all those quake games for $7.49 yesterday yessir.
It's not like this is 2001 and we're all on AIM setting away messages when we get up to pee for 2 minutes. Sometimes I'll leave my status set as away for days when really I'm at the PC all the time, or I'll be gone for the weekend and forget to set myself as away. But when I'm in a game it's generally because, you know, I WANT to play it, so getting an invite to something else while I'm mid-game is painfully annoying. Like you noted though, playing TF2 is about the only exception to that.

Add me as another person who wants to get into TF2. Where does one start exactly?
I've messed around in 2Fort for a bit doing CTF but it seems like just an excuse to play team deathmatch and I was scolded for ending the round by - you know, achieving the objective.

Yeah, the trick is to find stable servers that work towards objectives. The GAF server is nice, so are the sourceop ones. The best thing you can do is find a nice stable 24man. Also, jump over to the TF2 thread in online; there are plenty of people that post over there that will give advice.

I definitely bought the QuakeCon pack even though I don't have a PC to play any of it on yet (I know I'm getting one soon though and couldn't pass the deal).
I will now have purchased every version of Fallout 3 (and will likely play them all for months longer (or at least until I get New Vegas). I got Fallout 3 on PS3 first, then when they announced the DLC on 360 I traded up for the 360 version. Then got all the DLC. Then the GOTY edition came out and I got it on PS3 again bc it was $15 at the time and I'm a little fallout crazy. Now the QuakeCon pack comes with GOTY edition for PC...
There's never enough Fallout 3. I still find little things in the game that I've either passed by without noticing or just all new things. I would have all the achievements in the 360 version but because of a LIVE outage and new patch when it came back, my Broken Steel achievements were wiped. I'm whoring up the PS3 version for trophies right now.
I'm excited to have all of these games on my new PC whenever I get it too. As for my macbook, I love steam for Orange Box, Counter Strike, and Plants vs Zombies (and bringing Macs back into the gaming community in general).
