I hope Microsoft brings Halo CE to steam. Seems like they are giving up on gfwl.fable,fable 3,aoe are on steam so far.
aoe is on steam? wat
Haven't played it co-op but I imagine it's similar to any other co-op title in terms of being able to shoot the shit while also coordinate a bit.
For SP, I played through to the sewers (just stopped due to the rest of November releases) and it's pretty fun. The Island resort is probably the best and the city is not too bad if a bit confusing and extremely repressive. But it does give a sort of feeling of dread and suspense if you play it SP too.

On the steam registry.
Awesome deal, thanks for sharing. I wasn't that crazy about the demo but for $0.99 I'm willing to give it a try.

What a waste of the grand prize. He'll most likely sell his account after that.
Petz Catz2, Petz Dogz2, and Petz Horsez2... the lucky bastard.

Over 2,200 games. He'll have more games to play than in 100 lifetimes. Holy crap. Lucky bastard.
The Bieber won the grand prize? He does not play much - how did he get it anyway?
edit: It makes me angry and sad reading his recommendations. -.-
Proof that karma doesn't exist...lol

1.1 hrs past 2 weeks. Hmmmm. Barely plays and wins it all. Crazy huh?
There is a menu specifically for gifts you have sent in the Steam account info but you'd still have to add them manually.
Well, I guess at least he'll get some use from MW3...
lol wut

Already have more than 2000 games on 27 Nov according to google cache.
Got a bit confused by it
I don't see how it could be fake. That makes it even more lol wut.
Hence my reaction.

He had all those games before this sale even started.
Perhaps one of his parents work at Valve. They all have general access to Steam games, right?
He apparently has about 60 more games since that google cache in November.

48 hours. It was in the rules. I was actually bored enough to read it when the sale was still going on.
He has 2,157 games as of Nov. 27. Plot thicken indeed. Parents work at Valve, or hes one rich kid.
I thought that comment fake as in he really didn't have all those games.
use a proxy. I'm from Germany as well and I could buy it without problems.
That can get your account banned.
Valve say there are "over 1800" games available. Including auxiliary content such as DLC and soundtracks, there are just over 2200 items on Steam.
Phew, but somehow I imagined a higher number.
Tell a friend/gaffer outside of Germany, let it gift it to you

I don't think Valve will make a big fuss about it. What they don't like is using a VPN to buy directly from a "foreign" Steam store. This is by all means a retail key and will probably show up as one. I bought a couple of Steam activated retail games from the UK which are not available on the German Steam store (at all or in an uncensored version, for instance L4D2, AVP).
Pretty relaxed about it. But there may be a risk of shenanigans down the road so it has to be taken into account I guess.

I can't buy from my local store (Australia) since I had my account authorized to buy stuff while I was on holiday in the US. Have to buy from the US site since the client has IP tracking.
Not complaining since Aussies get routinely f'd in the a. It's pretty great actually.

Some Valve employees, like Robin Walker, have Steam accounts with all the games on steam:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/robinwalker
However his account does include games that you can't buy on steam anymore.
this is strange.. for me they allowed transactions from us based ip's.. but only using the aussie store via the http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=au page while in the states.
frankly i'd rather have what you're having!
The game count of Community profiles includes additional items such as DLC and soundtracks, which I alluded to above. There are not 2200+ individual games on Steam. In my case, for example, I have 487 individual games, yet my Community profile mentions a much higher number of 735.
