Ho, ho, ho, to the bottle I go
to heal my heart and drown my woe!
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
and many miles be still to go,
but under a tall tree I will lie!

Re: Team Fortress 2: Now free, forever.
It was quite fun today, actually. Played as an heavy for half an hour and I broke some kill records.

Oh, Batutta. A few posts you said that Demo was the most powerfull combat class. I don't really see how that is, but that might just be because the Demoman is the only class I really can't get a hang off.

Demoman has a steep learning curve, but yeah, he's pretty deadly.


One of the things I loved about playing TF2 was that as I played, some classes that I just didn't "get" would gradually click. One by one, I learned to love them all.

Damn... I wasted my $20 on the game before it's free.

Yeah, if you bought it a few days before it went free, I can see being a bit upset, but I've seen a few people ask, "So why did I pay money for this a few years ago?"  Um...so you could play it for the past few years?

Re: Team Fortress 2: Now free, forever.
I've also seen people say TF2 lost meaning when it became free. My immediate thought was 'No? From what I heard, it lost meaning when it became more about hats and less about Team Fortress.'

It's actually not really about the hats...

Re: Team Fortress 2: Now free, forever.
Hmmm....

Since TF2 has now been released for free, and TF2 is a source engine game, does this mean it's possible to download the free version of TF2 and run the Eternal Silence mod off of it? After all, it says on the instructions page you need a copy of a source engine game to run the mod.

Uhm, no.
Steam did *not* save PC gaming.

I *do* hate Steam.

I *do not* hate PC Gaming.

One *should not* need Steam to play games, it's needless like the hated mother-in-law.
If i want to have sex, i don't invite the mother-in-law over to be present during the act, nor should it be obligation for her to be present.

Meh, whatever.  Go ahead and keep missing out if you've got that kind of piss-poor attitude toward something you've never tried.

How do you know he hasn't tried it? I don't. You like Steam and use it, fine. If someone else doesn't that's also fine and doesn't somehow invalidate your opinion - there's no need to have a go.
Personally I gave in to the more practical aspects of Steam. Sometimes it gives you games for free. Sometimes you'll get to buy them cheaper or as part of a cost efficient pack. But Steam is far from perfect, and in some ways it's downright annoying - I do get where Angelus is coming from.
As for Steam saving PC gaming.. you know it's really, really easy to save something that's in no danger at all :P

Because of the fact that Steam is required to install games that I buy out of a box that has no multiplayer (No not TF), I have all the reason to hate it.
