Oh it gets worse, I promise! http://www.humblebundle.com/ The current one is over, but that one was going for as cheap as a little under 7 dollars for all of them. You pay what you want, choose where the money goes, and if you pay the average you get extra. The one before gave us several big title games. It's worth subscribing to see what the next one brings.

Well good thing I typed it out, that way it's not 'listening' :P

If you think Steam is bad, then don't go to www.gog.com either. So much goodness, so little time...

I love Steam. Been a member for many years and I hate it when a game is available on Steam. It's a great service with some great sales usually. The Steam sale(s) this year were kinda lame compared to previous years, but Amazon made up for it with their Steam redeamable sales.

I have heard about Steam for sometime, (due to a lot of gamers still playing Second Life, which yes, is still going strong, still has a lot of users, and has just moved to mesh) but I don't really know fully what it is, what use it might be to me, what sort of pc spec I would need, and how much it costs for games.

Anyone care to enlighten me ?

I need a Steam Anonymous program. Between the sales there, the bundle sites, Amazon key sales, GoG, steam trading, and steam giveaway sites, I have a trail of games constantly trickling in at massive discounts. Then have enough left to donate back to the giveaway sites where I've won things, and swap stuff around with friends a bunch.

Since I am the polar opposite of a pack rat in all other categories of life, I guess this is where the hoarder in me came out. Luckily it only takes up room on my hard drive.
