What exactly is Steam? One day I just saw a whole discussion on it, and I have no clue what it really is. I'd appreciate it if someone explained what this Steam thing is using small and simple words for my small and simple mind. :thumb:

My advice would be to go through some of the posts we have here about it. Also go to www.steampowered.com for more details and check their forums for any info.

Isnt Steam a whopping 1 GB on your computer? thats what i saw on the website, so ***I'm Stupid for Swearing*** that i got a shitty 16 gb computer im not giving up one of the few remaining gigs i got for some shitty ass valve update. I dont care if steam can crap gold its too big. Correct me if im wrong about the size:D.


Maybe I've been living under a rock, but... - Power and Glory - 09-29-2003

My Steam folder is 2.01GB so yeah it's pretty big.

So far, the only things that Steam added to my TFC is some friend finding thing, a teleporter made by engies, and two gates in one of the dustbowl sections...wow.

hey p&g..why is my folder larger than yours 2.62 gb...<_<

scoot over Magoo, I hear PIX is as up to date on the steam thing as you are.

btw you had a visitor last night a guy name Ninja said he knows you from TFC and you told him you play ricochet...but its ok we set him straight and said we had not seen you since you started playing some dumb game.:P

Well it could be a number of things. Maybe you have more mods installed than me. You may have a bunch of things like custom maps for games I don't play like CS. DoD is another that I play just a little so you may have more stuff than me in that folder. I never play TFC either so that folder has nothing but the basics in it.


Maybe I've been living under a rock, but... - FreeFall - 10-01-2003

hehe, I pretty much stick to two mods, Ricochet and HLDM.. But anywasy after I posted that question, I realized how obvious the answer was....just for future reference, is there any way to remove posts that you've just posted and re-thought it..I've had a couple times like that before..:/


Maybe I've been living under a rock, but... - Power and Glory - 10-01-2003

No there isn't only Moderators can. If you want something removed then PM one of us to take care of it.


Maybe I've been living under a rock, but... - kermit - 10-01-2003

u know, i was really stupid. i got the steam installation that came w/ only the ricochet cache...even thought the full vavle cache was avaible. i'm probably the only one that downloaded that...hehe. np though, i just had it update hldm, op4 while i went to bed. i may play dod tonight over steam...i've never played it before.
