Yeah, I was wondering what that was about. I thought it just had something to do with my Blue Screens of Death that I was getting while playing Flight Simulator X :shock:

If you own a part you can gift the same part to a friend on release. I just wish it wasn't "on release" otherwise I would probably pre-order so my son could play HL2.

Turns out one of my Memory sticks were bad :( Luckily 1 gig still works! I joined the JiF group on steam, seems like a cool feature of Steam!

I'm pumped for TFC2, I prefer steam games just because they seem to be a more pick-up-and-play games. On 2142 it takes a while for the game to start and to find a decent server. I'll def be playing a lot more when the game comes out, I'm prob gunna buy the game when it comes out on hard copy...

I think so.. Vavle forums are pretty slow right now but I've read "late today" a couple times. I take this to mean maybe late afternoon or tonight, Standard JiF Time..

I installed Steam on my work PC which I am not suppose to do just to see if TF2 gets release :) It probably won't play on my work PC, but I will see if it starts working :D
