Assassins, Bullies, and Messiahs

Some interesting news for a few upcoming game titles. Firstly (to no one's surprise), Assassin's Creed is coming to the 360. It will also be available for the PC. Secondly, Valve and Ubisoft have announced that Dark Messiah is coming to Steam when it releases in October. Chris Grant's commentary: "Ubisoft is acknowledging the demand for digitally distributed AAA content and using the largest platform they can find to promote it. We're still waiting on government-distributed protein pills and personal submarines, but the third pillar of our future vision is now realized." Finally, Rockstar appears to have partially bowed to public pressure over their 'Bully' title. In Europe, at least, Bully is now known as Canis Canem Edit, which means 'Dog Eat Dog' in Latin. To which I respond: Semper Ubi Sub Ubi.

What does it mean?

[IHSW]

Semper ubi sub ubi is a pun based on the English gloss of a malformed Latin phrase: "always where under where." The motto is used as a joke by Latin students and others to mean "always wear underwear."

Re:Can someone explain Steam to me?

Steam is an on-line contenet dilivery service. You downlaod and play games through steam. Each person is assigned a sepcific ID taht keeps track of what games you've purchased. If your local copy is deleted, steam knows that you have payed for the game, and simply lets you redownload it. Steam does not need to be connected to the interenet to play. Your games that are used through steam cannot be accessed any other way. If you use the icon to open say HL2 or CSS it will open steam, then launch the game. Many third party titles and mods are available via steam. Steam is a free service and does not directly cost. That said, I like the service and don't experience the lag and latency most people seem to complain about. I do however don't like the fact it's almost impossible to get information about teh games from steam itself. A lot of people like to use the terms Valve/Steam interchangably.
