that just made me burst out laughing.
Steam pic bash thread - Wha? - 09-14-2003
I think steam has just proven that we need a new word for bugs that all out prevent use of a program (if no such term exists, that is). "Fatal Fault" maybe. That way, the idiots who don't realize that page is a joke, won't go around confusing OS bugs with things of OIF disfunctionality.
Steam pic bash thread - Guest - 09-15-2003
There is ... bugs are problems, faults are deadly... ask any developer:) For instance, you don't die of a bug in California.. but if that fault wakes up and causes an earthquake... you have to watch yourself to make sure you ain't lost in the disastor that strikes...

Steam pic bash thread - WidowMaker - 09-16-2003
I knew there had to be a financial motive for releasing this pile of crap
I'm sure when I installed Steam it said something about a free 30 day trial
so I figured after 30 days it wouldn't be free.
Im scared... seriously scared. Surely they won't charge to play Rico ? If they do, that will be the end of Rico, i'm sure.
Steam pic bash thread - PuNkGirL - 09-16-2003
well now valve has finally gone and shot itself in the foot.
First they kill off thousands of half life players by switching to this steaming pile of crap. (i like that adjective phrase its funny^_^)
NOW they are going to charge the few remaining players...
damn either valve hates its players or it really doesn't want us playing their games.
Steam pic bash thread - Gwarsbane - 09-16-2003
From my understanding this is whats going to happen....
You will be able to walk down to your local store, pick up half-life or half-life 2 or any other valve product install onto your computer, start up steam and then play half-life 1 or 2 or any other valve product for the next 5 years (or longer) without paying another cent to valve.
There will also be the steam subscription option. For 10 bucks a month you will be able to buy access to any and all of valves products via steam. But there will be a catch with these ones. You just can't subscribe for one month, download all of Valves products and then kill off the subscription and keep playing the products. And from what I understand even if you pay for 16 months and then at the end of that 16 months you are sick of paying for a subscription but want to keep playing the valve products you've downloaded you won't be able to. You will have to go out and buy the products in the store.
So for say $160 bucks (USD), you walk away with nothing. If you play half-life 2 for say 5 years (like I have played original half-life for) that will be $600 bucks (USD) you have spent out with nothing but memories and some files on a hard drive.
I paid $60 or $80 bucks (Canadian) for half-life. Thats it. I have not spent a penny more on that game. I could quit today and start playing a couple years from now and it still won't cost me any more.
I already shell out $50 bucks (Canadian) a month for my net connection, why would I want to spend another $15 bucks (Canadian) just to play one game.
Sure I suppose the 10 bucks for one month is good for testing to see if you like the game, but thats about it.
Steam pic bash thread - Guest - 09-16-2003
I would agree that it's good for seeing if you like it... I have no qualms with that...:)
Steam pic bash thread - PuNkGirL - 09-16-2003
you know, this sounds sort of like evercrack. You pay 40 bux for the game (20 for any of the thousand expansions they have to it), then you procede to pay a monthly fee to actually PLAY the game. These guys are like marketing gods, cause they can easily take advantage of stupid people and their addiction to computer games.
Steam pic bash thread - Guest - 09-16-2003
I don't think your that stupid pG... quite smart in fact, you just need to get over that addiction of yours ;-)
Steam pic bash thread - PuNkGirL - 09-16-2003
i don't play evercrack :P
Steam pic bash thread - Guest - 09-17-2003
lol, that's something I never thought of as a response ;-) Admittedly because when I replied last night I was tired and didn't read your post properly... Still interesting name for the game... heh.
Steam pic bash thread - Gwarsbane - 09-17-2003

anyways that strip above is hilarious
Steam pic bash thread - Guest - 09-17-2003
no, I hadn't ;-) And yes that comic is funny. I never play everquest, never have. A friend of mine has it, and she raves about it... that's about my limit of everquest interaction...
Steam pic bash thread - [CAKE]anonymity - 09-17-2003
i heard rUsh reffer to it as evercrack, and i wonder if penny arcade has made a comic bashing steam yet, u know they will.
Steam pic bash thread - Guest - 09-17-2003
Find out and let us all know. If they haven't lets email them and get them on the case!
Steam pic bash thread - [CAKE]anonymity - 09-17-2003
i should but they're probably flooded with emails about how to bash steam in their comics. There archives is like the history of gameing, of course they would do something steam related.
Steam pic bash thread - PuNkGirL - 09-17-2003
they haven't, today's comic was about final fantasy tatics
Steam pic bash thread - Guest - 09-18-2003
Final Fantasy rockozors
Steam pic bash thread - Wha? - 09-22-2003
Here's a head scratcher. This never happened before steam got installed.
Steam pic bash thread - Guest - 09-23-2003
That'll be because your mp.dll and other things have been adjusted to run with STEAM rather than WON.
Steam pic bash thread - Wha? - 09-23-2003
So... the cache is redundant?
Steam pic bash thread - Guest - 09-24-2003
No. If it thinks something is current it'll use it. Plus the cache is smaller than the thing unpacked.
Steam pic bash thread - MotherGoose - 10-05-2003
Hahaha... this one happened to me...
