Especially since you can already play from more than one PC with any one steam account.
Unless you meant simultaneously....

Blargh, it turns out langfor6 got a copy before I managed to gift to him.

Granted. As soon as I figure out how that works.

Thanks!

This part of the page linked in the OP seems to be relevant:

You will also see gift links beside your previously purchased games in your "My games" list. You can also find your gifts under the "Games" menu listed as "Manage gifts and guest passes".

so does anybody have half life one?

That would require someone to buy a copy of Half Life 1 for you. That isn't very likely.

I don't think this thread is for Steam gifting, because the title says it is for "The Orange Box" gifting. Meaning it is for the kind folks here who already bought HL2 or EP:1 in the past and got a free copy of it via The Orange Box to let us bums see what we've been missing out on at no cost to themselves.

Apparently you either have to be on my friends list or give me an email address if I want to give you something. Or am I missing something here?

Silpheed

EDIT: Got hold of a copy from another forum.

Mullitt The Wise

Ok, my games are gone now, someone PMed me.

Barrakketh

It appears that Needle has fulfilled my request for HL:2. Thanks

langfor6

Mullitt the Wise, in his infinite wisdom, gifted me HL2 and Ep 1 today, so feel free to remove me from the list.

Carcharodontosaurus

Well, it turns out I still have a free copy of Half-Life 2. PM me and it's yours!

Dark Moon

Edit: Obtained! Many thanks to Frem.

When one purchases Episode 1 from Steam, it includes Half Life 2: Deathmatch as well. Is this true for the gifted copy of Episode 1 as well?

If so, I would love a copy and would be forever grateful. SteamID is the_r0b.

If not, you can obtain HL2-DM via an ATi card (or a friend with an ATi card), and this handy link.

You beautiful, beautiful man! Thanks much - I have fulfilled my DM needs and will no longer need Ep 1. I'll edit my previous post to indicate this.

Mace1370

I just realized that since I got the Orange Box for Christmas and was previously gifted HL2 + EP1 by a generous PAer I can now gift away a copy of both HL2 and EP1. So, post and it is your's.

Okasvi

I'd appreciate episode 1 if anyone has a spare left.

Samphis

I would also like an episode 1 gift. Steam ID is Samphis

LewieP

My housemate is getting a new PC tomorrow, and has never played Halflife 2, if anyone could hook him up with a gift of HL2 and maybe even episode 1, that would be fantastic.

Edit: No steam ID yet, I'll register him an account when he gets his PC.

Edit2: Veitsev is sorting me out, so consider this request fullfilled, thanks a bunch dood!

Out of interest, does a gifted copy of HL2 include HL2DM and CS: S

Diggomaniac

There's also another offer for Nvidia which includes a Portal Demo that goes until before you get the orange shot, HL2 DM, HL2 The Lost Coast, and a bitching HL2 Themed Peggle Extreme.

Professor Snugglesworth

So basically you can only gift Half Life 2, right?

Since I just upgraded my PC, and I'm currently on a budget right now, anyone willing to spare one of their HL2 copies to me? I haven't made a Steam account yet, but I plan to do so when I get home (in about an hour).

I'm dying to try the available mods.

HallowedFaith

Is there still a free gift if you register an ATI card?

Professor Snugglesworth

Mine's an Nvidia, so no luck there.

EDIT: Made an account, name's PrimoMan, for anyone generous to gift. Regardless, send me a friend request.

BushidoGamer

I have Half-Life 2 to give away. If anyone wants it PM me.

Edit: Sent it to Professor Snugglesworth

Professor Snugglesworth

Where were you a week ago?

BushidoGamer

Too busy running errands for my mom who just got back from the hospital, playing Portal and not much else? *Shrug*

capable heart

Apparently I still have a gifting option for Episode 1, because whoever I sent it to before never activated the gift thing.

I guess PM me if you need it.

edit: HL2 went to PolishElvis.

tardcore

I have a HL2 and Episode 1 to give away as a gift.

Steam ID - tardcore

Variable

My copy of Orange Box arrived, so now it's my turn to do some giving. First one to PM me gets Half Life 2.

Rizzi

I have a copy of Half Life 2 to give away, because all my friends are idiots that hate steam.
So yeah. Pm me and it's yours.

JohnOrangePeel

Hi,

I'd like episode 1 and 2 please if anyone has them going spare (or just a single episode, whatever is available to gift)

cheers!

edit: my steam ID = JohnOrangePeel

TimeSpecter

I have a copy of Half-Life 2 so first one to PM me gets it.
