QUOTE(tarvalslain87 @ May 26 2010, 05:30 PM) Will half life be free or at discounted price? Hmm hopefully there are promotions for the release... Most probably discounted price.. Dont think they will give it for free =) My guess is that they will bundle Half Life 2 and Episode 1 & 2 together. It's highly unlikely they will charge a great deal considering the age of the game. |

QUOTE(ryuuzaki @ May 26 2010, 11:02 PM) aren't they bundled with orange box? i got the orange box as well and it came with both of the games. Those games are part of the Orange Box, but weren't available to play on the Mac OSX until now. Of course, if you already own the Orange Box, you won't need to buy the game again for the Mac.So, Steam Macnesday gives us... Half Life 2 - $6.99 HL 2 Ep 1 - $5.59 HL 2 Ep 2 - $ 5.59 EVE Online - $19.99 A little disappointed with with the price... |

QUOTE(tarvalslain87 @ May 27 2010, 11:43 AM) Oh... So there are no bundle prices? Hmm... Need to pay almost $20 for the whole HL series... Too bad I dont have the windows version.. So have to buy them seperately now... Or you could go buy the Orange Box... Not sure how much it is now, but you'll get 5 games for the price of one. |

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ May 27 2010, 12:03 PM) im not really sure on the procedure here... That's weird. The download size listed on my Steam was around 4GBi own the orange box. in the Steam app, under Library > Games, HL2 is listed there. i clicked on "Install" n now im downloading HL2 but the size is only 1013 MB doesnt look correct :S how eh? |

QUOTE(Bunkerer @ May 27 2010, 01:24 PM) Ojimaru, why the disappointment? Be thankful for Valve porting the Steam platform and open up a new market for games developer... This is the reason I'm disappointed. As I understand it they only needed to apply the conversion once to the Source engine, which powers most of Valve's games. Porting a game from DirectX to OpenGL is no easy job and not zero cost. I am very impress that Valve took the effort, time and resource to do it.Currently Orange box is also offer for $20.99. (Include all the episodes + Team Fortress 2!) If buy all the episodes separately: $18.17 Must well fork out extra $3 and you will get Orange box. It is like paying $3 more just for the Team Fortress 2...  My guess is that the Mac Orange Box will be released when Team Fortress 2 makes the jump. |

A little OT, but saw this interesting blip on Kotaku:
League of Legends Going Mac http://kotaku.com/5549104/league-of-legends-going-mac For those wondering, the unfortunately abbreviated game LoL is an RTS in the spirit of the ever-popular Warcraft 3 custom map Defense of the Ancients (aka DotA). The game operates on a free-mium model, i.e. free to play but paying cash unlocks better stuff. |

Replaying Portal for the new achievement. XD Too much fun.
And after 12+ hours of Torchlight, I dusted off my Diablo 2 CDs and played them instead. Besides the game-breaking bugs on the Mac, Torchlight lacks so much of the depth found in Diablo 2. I guess the fact that patch 1.13 is finally live helps too. btw, World of Goo for Mac is available on Steam. Link Added on June 10, 2010, 9:34 amIf you like Team Fortress 2 and the Mac and can think of something that rhymes with "Speem Gortress zmavailable on the Babac.", then tomorrow (or Thursday in the States) will be a very nice day indeed.

QUOTE(JohnnyBeGud @ Jul 4 2010, 05:29 PM) Okay will try again later..Another thing, on this very first day of using steam, I encountered many spinning beach balls and sometimes I have to force quit because its not responding. It also quit unexpectedly twice already. Is it normal Steam is and has been buggy even on Windows, so it's no surprise we're seeing the same amount of instability on OSX. Quit Steam and restart it to see if there are any new updates it needs. |

All Steam games that you own applies for both Windows and Mac versions. Buy one, buy both.
