Actually the point for getting Steam for me was a bit back when they were giving away Portal for free. After that, buying MI1 + MI2 (both special editions) for a total of £7.99 was pretty good.

I don't play games. The only games I play, I can find elsewhere.
I bought Jolly Rover for $5 on the author's website for instance.

MI? Or ME? Mission Impossible?
EDIT : Oh wait, Tales of Monkey Island. Yeah you mentioned those games sometime in the IRC I think

Then you don't got a reason to use Steam :P

Yeah, the first two Monkey Island games.

I play games via Steam, partly because it's convenient since I can install/uninstall at will and not have to remember where I downloaded the installers for things I've bought.

I have to admit, I play games more now than I used to, simply because I find as the last year or so has gone on, I find myself needing to stop coding for a bit... it's like I'm getting old :o (Which, at 27, sounds and feels daft, but I find I'm a little less tolerant to hours and hours of coding than I used to be.)

I don't buy too many games on Steam, mostly because I don't like most modern games, but I did snag Worms Reloaded recently, played it briefly, then went back to coding.

(I must be growing up, I find I don't want to play games too much!)

Lol, I played BTTF ep 1 the other day, and I was all "meh" at the end! :^^;: Definitely not excited to play the rest. I'll probably skip it altogether.
