I then have to manually kill the process and once I do that, 100% of the time it starts up normally. Anybody else get this problem?

Anyone?

That does sound rather annoying. No real clue but I can suggest is the old delete clientregistry.blob file and hope it is related to that

Sega megapack seems like a decent deal.

I agree, it does look quite tempting although there's definitely a few in there I'd never get around to playing.

Altitude is 50% off and having a free weekend, theres already a few 2p2 there so try it out

Online multiplayer plane fighting game with perks, prestige mode, custom servers/maps, clans etc. thats pretty addicting

Football Manager 10 (mac+pc compatible) is 50% off for $20 atm. If you like sports simulations do NOT order/dl until you have at least 20 free hours on your hands...

20 free hours per day for the next week is more like it

Torchlight is pretty good.

Dunno how I had never played Portal, but the cake was very good indeed.

So on the offchance someone doesn't have the Orange Box already it's on a 30% off deal at the moment. I mean imagine never having played Half Life 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2. It simply does not compute why anyone would be in this situation. I suppose if it was a Mac user maybe it makes a tiny bit of sense.

The Steam servers are currently too busy to handle my request.
Please try again in a few minutes.

SupCom 2 for 10 bucks...

So, anyone got any juicy speculation about what Valve will announce at E3? God I hope they give us some Episode 3 news, in fact give us some HL3 news as well!

Daer · 06-06-2010, 11:52 AM

gotta be Ep3 since they cancelled their portal 2 news

I'm really enjoying Kings bounty, a sister game to Heroes of might and magic, but with a slightly different format. It's a lot of fun.
