Not sure why I signed up before HL2 tbh because like many here that was my first registered game with the service.

And since games are being posted, 103.
Guess that was the day I bought my ATI Radeon 9600 XT... I think that was the card that gave me a free HL2 code. :lol

who is Emo-Beas?
Couldnt pass on that $5 FEAR 2 with Reborn DLC. Amazing deal even if its on GFWL.
FEAR 2 is also non steamworks on Direct2Drive and other services as well. Very odd.

jumped on amnesia and plants vs zombies, sad penmubra and vampire: masquarade didn't join the party.
I gotta catch back up on this thread, can anyone recommend Dark Fall: Lost Souls? screenshots look interesting, as does the price.

Joined steam September 30, 2003. I think this was also the same day my HLDM clan disbanded. Man, I miss those days of tau jumping/ snipping.
And I currently have 79 games worth $1205.21 according to http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/

Not too bad, i love me some steam gaming. And both times i started accounts by buying HL2, with the sole intent of only playing Counter Strike: Source.

One problem with the Steam Calculator is it doesn't seem to put the sales price in and most of us probably never buy full price. :lol
The only games I've ever bought full price are Valve games and Worms Reloaded I think.

Wow, member since 12-12-2003. Steam was such a steaming pile of shit back then. 113 games with a value of $1806.87.
Just of curiosity I added up how much I've spent, and I've spent $745.76 assuming I spent $49.99 on HL2 (which I'm pretty sure I did since I bought it day 1.) Not too bad, only a few purchase decisions I regret: buying Alpha Protocol at full price (I was really jonesing for it), buying the Civ IV complete pack for 49.99 (but at least with this game I got my money's worth, but I could have waited until it went on ridiculous sales like it eventually did). The only other games I bought full price were multiplayer games: L4D1, L4D2 (actually this was only ~$38 or something since we got the 4 pack), and Civ V. I bought this games only because my friends were playing them and I knew if I waited too long they'd be done, so I wouldn't say I regret those purchases, even though I know I paid WAY too much for them.

Fuck me. I have it tied to a hotmail account I never use. I don't even know why it's hotmail. I've never used hotmail period. Was it easier to create an account using hotmail? WTF.
What's the easiest way to change Live info?
Anyone know if you need personal info to change email. I'm sure I entered bogus data.

I'll answer my own question: You can't. You can change contact e-mail, but not account e-mail.
Went and gave my account a nice long password. And copied down my account info I inputted. I would never have been able to guess the birth-date I entered. Let's just say I'm real old.:lol I'm surprised I can game anymore.

I don't think so. It was 50% off during both the perils of summer sale and last year's holiday sale.BomberMouse said:

Just bought BioShock (my first Xbox 360 refurb MS sent me was faulty and destoyed the disc and I always wanted to re-buy it), Amnesia, and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. bundle. So glad I built a gaming PC. PC games these days make a lot of even the AAA console games look like muddy and/or choppy shit.
And God bless Steam. How the fuck else would you get all four of those games for $28?

Yeah, my steam rating is weak sauce, but I've only got back into the gaming mood recently now that I have some time for it. I probably will again once I install Dragon Age and/or Fallout 3...just games to sink a lot of time into.
Anyways, so I've been on steam for over 3 years now via Half-Life 2 retail disc. I didn't make my first steam purchase until last year April or May '09 with the Orange Box $10 sale. I haven't purchase a PC game at retail since then.

Anyone know how I can set up custom folders in my games library? Right now I just have 'favourites' and 'games', but i'd really like separate folders for different genres (and also the ability to hide some shite that I bought like Flora's Fruit Farm...)

Juggling 4 games right now. TF2, Fallout: NV, Dead Space and Starcraft 2. I'm always afraid to turn on Fallout because its basically a willful step down the rabbit hole. You finally turn the game off and realize you're hungry. Look at the clock and its 2 in the morning. You've been playing for the last 7 hours.

You mean categories? Right-click the game and choose "Set Category", you then create the category you wish to add it under. Once you do that, you have to add all of the other games you wish to add... one at a time.I NEED SCISSORS said:
They really need to have an option to select a category you wish you add games to and then just have a check box next to all of the games so you can add them all at once. :|

what is steam rating out of? (and that playing time is inflated. All I played was Fallout NV and it was closer to 25 hours according to that clock.)
and wow, December 2003 haha. All I remember about old steam is that it was a pain in the ass to download or update or something. I don't even know what I would have been playing then. I do remember the first time I saw the source engine was with Counter Strike.
wait, what is "Half-Life Platinum Pack"? it is the first game I purchased and it files it under retail. Then there is Half-Life 2 Silver, which is listed under steam store. I was sure I bought HL2 retail.
oh man, SIN episode 1! I can't wait for the next one.

Anyone pick up that Bloody Good Time? For $5, it looks amusing.
Half-Life Platinum Pack contained the original Source games - that ranged from Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, Team Fortress and the like.Linkzg said:
Half-Life 2 Silver included the Source versions of the original Half-Life and Day of Defeat.
Also, SiN episode 2...
most likely not happening ):

That's gotta be some kind of low.

Giantbomb did a quick look of it. It seemed kinda boring to me.speculawyer said:
Nah, man! You're just smart. A lot of people buy games when they are on sale for $5 even if they never play them, which is pure lunacy to me. I guess if you have money to burn, whatever. I have 46 games, member since 2003 (Though my account got fucked up and Valve migrated my account to a new name which now says 2006). Lots of people on my friends list have 100+ titles.opticalmace said:

So I actually went through my list of games and counted the ones I actually saw the credits for and I was shocked at how few I've actually finished :lol
Stop buying games dammit.
