Hmmm... might have try that, but I wish I could try before I buy.

[[JiF]Rhykin]

Oh my goodness, going to purchase now.

[[JiF]Lonewolf]

I'm going to get shafted on this probably come next month. I wont have the money till next month so I'll probably have to pay the $80 just to get EP2, TF2 and Portal which will suck and may just piss me off enuf to not buy it till the price comes down. I would love to pre-order now so I can play on the 17th but it wont happen unless I get lucky enuf to get enuf money this weekend for my birthday then I'll get it.

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Well I couldn't resist and bought it. All sorts of stuff I prolly don't need or will ever play
I think I just killed upgrading my GPS
OMG I have too much stuff in Steam. Some of this stuff is pretty old.

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Anyone got "Friends" names let me know.
I am on as [JiF][AARP]Grimp.

I can see [JiF]Lonewolf, [JiF]Timmay!, [JiF]PFC Doc, [JiF]Smuckers, [NMD]AngryBunny (looks like he is still around:)) and Rhykin.
rIot seems to be private and I can request a "Friends" thing for his. I dunno if mine is as I have not seen a clicky button for that yet

I'll add you soon, my computer is destroyed, lol. I turn the pc on, listen to some music, or do something and the blue screen of death flickers and restarts my computers. Then I get errors with some programs I try to open. It wouldnt even let me finish a defrag, its the same thing every time. And now I tried to reinstall Windows and its saying that something may be wrong with my disk (which it looks fine to me). So its going to be a while before Im up and running again.

I hate you all.

I'm a slave to the new house- big signing tomorrow.
You can all let me know how the new TFC is

[[JiF]Rhykin]

If you guys create a public profile, I had created a JiF group a couple months ago when it was in Beta:

I've created a JiF group (unless someone else wants to head it..)

I've invited Grimp and Riot but I don't know if anyone else has a Public Profile yet.

Think that's a lot?


Notice the scroll bar indicating more..

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Ya, I tried to get into the JiF group and it was private. I will check when I get home tonight.

Just found out that the preordering doesn't start preloading by default - you have to tell it to preload. Given how popular TF2 is likely to be, it might be a good idea to start now..

Find it in My Games, in the Not Installed section. Not sure what the exact text is but right-click on Team Fortress 2 and it'll be obvious.

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Good idea I started it downloading. Looks like TF2 is the only one that will preload right now.

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

This morning TF2 started pre-loading from scratch again.
