It's almost like Steam will be the future of gaming or something. XD

My only beef with steam is the inability for me to let my kids play my steam games on their computer while I rock Battlefield or something on mine.

I of course understand the restriction, but "household" (only one concurrent IP at a time) accounts are definitely on my wish-list.

I've never used offline mode.

That just might work for what I need.

They aren't going to be playing any online games until they're older. I don't need my 12 year old son learning how to call people "****ing nooblets" or something.

ffs. after all my purchase i'm spending just about 90% of my time in the one game i bought for less than a dollar: Everyday Genius (SquareLogic). Crazy addictive for anyone with an affection towards sudoko-like puzzles (totally different though, but still very much in the 'logical deduction-department). fml

ps. crysis is a distant second. sik game with the added slickness downloadpackage from incrysis.com

I didn't do any purchasing over the holidays and now I kinda regret it. but my computer is an old POS so I would really have just been purchasing to get a big library for the future. next sale season will probably empty my wallet.

Pretty much the opposite here.

beat king's bounty, played the expansion pack and it was total **** so quit.

almost off the first planet in KOTOR, got to Neverwinter in Neverwinter nights then realized I'd completely gimped my character by reading the wizard's stats when I'm a sorcerer, oops.

Man, I have such a low tolerance for bad games these days. I haven't played any game with a gameranking score of lower then 90 and enjoyed it.

Yeah, it's so much different from when I was a kid and maybe owned a few games, with no means outside birthdays, christmas, or saving all my allowance to aquire more. I was pretty much stuck playing what I had. We are pretty spoiled these days.

I went bananas when they had the holiday sale and bought all the indie packs, so now I have like 68 games in my Steam account, lol. And, OMG have you guys heard of this awesome game it's called BRAID?

No but seriously, I haven't even looked at half of the games I bought yet, but I like this game BIT.TRIP BEAT, it's like Breakout meets Audiosurf with dynamic difficulty switching (handy cos the levels are weirdly long, like 15 minutes).

during the holiday sales, I bought worms unloaded, beat hazard, air indie pack (altitude is a very gg), puzzlequest, and plants v zombies goty, and shatter. All of those were worth w/e I paid for it, less than 5. I also bought mafia 2 for 12 bucks. Neat story, but too much driving around, no gta.

I also bought killing floor for 7 bucks, but haven't played it yet. Also Bought Polynomial, but couldn't really get it to work/beat hazard was better. Does anyone know of any good pc games that sync with your own music and preferably somewhat trippy? Also compatible friendly with iTunes?
