    So I'm setting up steam, and one of the first things I do is add non-steam game shortcuts to all my UT2k4 mods. <.<

    I really can't think of a game I anticipate more than TF2. Unless it's Crystal Chronicles. Or Starcraft 2. Or Smash Bros. Brawl.

    But other than those, definitely TF2.

    Edit:

    Oh. Also, Pretty please?

    So, the Steam community facebook app wasn't working right for me, then I removed it so I could re install it, now it's gone from my news feed and I can't find it in the group search and it was edited out of the op.

    Also there is no push-to-talk button. Unless they added that at some point. I don't like to hear nerds panting into microphones.

    I'm going to cross-post this from towards the end of the old Steam thread in the hope that it gets noticed this time; I've been toying around with it, but I haven't been able to get it to work the way I want yet. I'd like to hear that it's impossible from someone more versed in the area, though!

    I've not used a headset before, but I'm looking into it to use it with you fine chaps for TF2 (an Xbox Live headset plus an Action Replay is looking promising at the moment). Do I lose stereo sound, as there is only one earpiece, or can it be set up so that only voice chat comes through the earpiece, leaving the regular speakers to deal with everything other than voice chat, or am I asking too much?

    I think it's asking too much to separate the voice chat. I don't think any games support that on PC.

    So if you purchased the Orange Box, does anyone know how you give someone your HL2/Ep1 extras if you already own those?

    The games don't, but if you're running a separate program like Ventrillo its entirely possible with no loss of audio quality. Dunno if you can pull the same trick with Steam.

    You won't be able to give away your HL2/EP1 until the 10th of October.

    Once it's the 10th some sort of like Gift button will appear or something.

    Steam wasn't working too well for me this morning so I wasn't able to hunt for my own answers--

    Are there prices yet for the individual pieces of the Orange Box? Like, is there any way to buy just Episodes 1/2 + Team Fortress 2 + Portal? I'd really like to save a few dollars if possible.

    This Steam thread just reminded me of my greatest gaming regret of the last hundred years: Not buying Peggle when it was $10 this summer... What the hell was I thinking!!?

    They might introduce other bundles later on, but if you're literally just not wanting to buy it because you have HL2. I think you're being a little optimistic on getting it for cheaper.

    Well that's pretty gay...

    I guess I'll have an extra copy of Half-Life 2 to give away to...someone.

    I'll just assume they're not going to give me a cheaper bundle and just preorder the Orange Box...if Steam is working better this evening.

    Thanks kindly!

    Apparently Ep2 is longer than Ep1. And given that most expansion packs of games are around that price, it doesn't seem entirely unreasonable.

    Yeah, it looks like a lot more work is going into Ep2 compared to Episodes 1. Cinematic Physics, new enemies, new lighting system, new vehicle, focus on non-linear objective oriented combat etc.

    Besides, who cares if it's $30. Hardly anyone who wants Ep2 is going to skip out on the orange box.

    What about the Zombine and HDR. (Okay, HDR was in Lost Coast, but that was only a tech demo.)

    Fair points, admittedly. The zombine was more of a twist on the classic head-crab zombie, and like you said HDR was new.

    Episode 2 does have a new weapon as well, and the ability for monsters to latch unto your vehicle. But, hopefully the real reason why it's $10 more is that it is longer.

    You'll be happy to hear that Peggle Deluxe has been cut back to $10 again. And judging by the fact that it's now the fourth best selling game on Steam, I'd say giving out a trial in Peggle Extreme was a great idea. Oh Valve, I wish I could give you all my money.

    Probably something a bit stronger then a machine that can just manage Episode 1, as the engine has been upgraded and expanded to do more intensive stuff, like large outdoor environments.


    Also, new av and sig to match my stream community av sig, for less confusion. :D

    System requirements on this page.

    In the TF2 thread there's also a link to something that will check if you machine can play it.
