EdgeCrusher Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Yeah, deal weekends, especially a deal like this, bogs down the server as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkspast Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 So Finished downloading Portal, and I have to say its rather enjoyable. This is the first FPS-ish game I have played on the PC. and no complains. also worth the 9.99 price tag. Looking froward to some TF2 latter on once I download it.

Halt Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I cannot wait for TF2 to get done downloading, even though it will take A LONG ASS TIME. i will be able to play :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCvgluvr Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 This is one of the best gaming deals I've ever heard of, and I never play games on my PC! If you can get this, and you haven't already, BUY IT NOW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Adams Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Thanks, I'll be picking this up in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 BUY IT NOW!!! ^ What this guy said. I'm currently downloading Half-Life 2 as I type. I can't wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 If anyone ends up with an extra copy of HL2 Ep. 2 that they have no clue what to do with, you know who to call Steam Name: Zephyr_Tread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFusion Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 If anyone ends up with an extra copy of HL2 Ep. 2 that they have no clue what to do with, you know who to call Steam Name: Zephyr_Tread I think you're only allowed to gift HL2 and EP1 (if you already have them on your steam account).

Vivi22 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I think you're only allowed to gift HL2 and EP1 (if you already have them on your steam account). Anytime you buy an extra copy of a game on Steam you can gift it to somebody. I think you're just thinking about what Valve told owners of HL2 and Ep 1 they could do when the Orange Box came out, and there was no chance of anyone owning the other three games.

DrumUltimA Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 well, i bought it. won't be able to play it immediately, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinewav Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I have an excuse: my computer is crap and won't run it. Still, for $10 I bought it anyway. I'll hopefully upgrade my system soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt E. Waldman Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Haha, even when I got it for $49.99 when it first came out, I thought THAT was the greatest deal ever. If any of you haven't played the games yet, don't ditch this opportunity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running a laptop with a mobile AMD Athlon XP2800+ processor, 1gb RAM, and the display is a Radeon IGP 320M. I've always had a tough time running games on this machine, and I believe it's because the Radeon is integrated on the motherboard and it's only got about 64MB of memory. Heck, I have difficulties with YouTube sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I have difficulties with YouTube sometimes. you know, your igp probably is stealing all your RAM as variable video memory. if you put an extra gig or two of memory into your system, you'd see a huge difference. if you can get me the model number of your system, i'll bet i can find you a good deal for under 30$ for more memory. it'd be like night and day. my old laptop was in a similar boat when i first got it. only had 512 mb of ram and a video card that varied from 64-256mb. i stuck two 1-gig sticks into the system and sped it up by half.

Sinewav Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Sweet. That would be very much appreciated. It's a Compaq Presario 2100. I think I already upgrade the RAM once, with a 512mb stick, but I don't remember (it was a long time ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Just reminding all of you guys, you should join us for some TF2 on the OCR TF2 server! Wednesday should be a relatively easy night to join us as it's custom night - check the TF2 thread for details, and if you can, download the maps ahead of time.
