Wow, the Steam installer is now 300+ MB, including Counter Strike 1.6 -- well, I don't *want* to play CS 1.6!
On my 56k modem, or on our LAN here, running Half Life 2 looks like it's going to be *so* much fun!
The game looks like it's going to rule; the extraneous crap looks like it's going to cancel out any ruling that could possibly be... uh... possible. What a bunch of fkucwits!
Oh my God. Steam is so bad on a 56k modem it's unbelievable. Every time you start it, it says "Updating Steam" and you can't do anything for 5-10 minutes while it downloads... 'something'. Man, that's gonna make online gaming a *whole* lotta fun!
Why are companies so insistent on placing hurdles in the path of gamers these days? Why ruin what otherwise -- going by all the videos and previews -- looks like being a fantastic experience?

Videogames aren't art; they're videogames.

Clueless.
