So i have this friend who is a hardcore pirate, today i set him up with a Steam account and 2 games thanks to the ATI offer to give him a taste of what he has been missing. Hopefully that and TF2 going free to play will be enough to turn him to the good side.


Also i really hope Morrowind gets to 5 bucks in the upcoming summer sale, i made a huge mistake passing that up last time thinking it would be on sale again in no time at all ugh.

Homefront is not a good game by any measure. It's not worth any amount of money. Fun is fun regardless of price and your time is certainly more valuable then to be wasted on nonsense like that.

I put tons of hours in the MP and I don't regret a single one. Most fun I've had in an online FPS since BF2.

Yeah, I'm actually really enjoying it as well. They have some great fucking ideas that actually feel fresh.

Logged on to Steam to check out the daily sales = so what is up with TF2? Is it really free? Looks like a cool game but I have never had the chance to play it...

Limbo looks really cool. It being on Steam would get me to buy it.

A mod needs to change the current title to "Steam Announcement 2011 |OT| - No, we don't know when the Summer Sale will start.

Looks like this thread is wrapping up soon anyhow so best saved for OT2?

I thought the plan was to jump into the Steam Summer Sale thread and then make OT2 when it's done. *shrug* I don't know how this works. Ha ha.

Me neither! That'd make sense though as a bridge of sorts.

It's been a pleasure posting with all of you for the first half of this year, and look forward to many more good times in OT2.

What do you think of the new hillclimb track? (I'm debating whether or not to buy it))
Click to expand...

It's about 3 - 3 1/2 minutes long, can't quite tell yet. My fastest time is around 3:45 while spinning out/crashing. It's more of a downhill after a quick uphill. There's some tricky corners towards the end. Could be better but it's definitely challenging and I absolutely adore the classic cars. I have been waiting for months so I'm happy it's finally here.

The thing about this pack is that they took away what gear you should be in, just color cues for the corners, which is seriously throwing me off.

Oh and they picked two of the ugliest American cars from that era IMO.

Summer sales work better here, because winter is actually starting in this part of the world, so i can stay inside buying and playing games, ha!

As much as I want people to be right about it being tonight, I highly doubt it, they have their weekend deal and if they were going to do a literal shit ton of deals tomorrow they wouldn't have that up.

Damn, last year's thread only had 8k posts all year? What happened between then and now? How did we hit 20k so fast?

I guess more people are either starting to use Steam or are becoming whores for digital distribution.
