^ That being said, if you read more than 15 books a year a kindle is great.

I think you're all underestimating how much of a hassle Steam can be for people on poor connections. I know; I used it for six years on terrible dial-up. I won't be using it again for that reason and others. The number may be few, but there are people out there that feel the same way I do.

Nice job, BooTx.

Let's not forget steam's annoying habit of refusing to start at all, the only fix to delete the .blob files and have to relog altogether to start it again.

from a programming side...let me quote my friend who works with microsoft.

"Steam Sucks Again."

Didn't you defeat your own argument there? :)

I don't really see what the point is. Why would you play non-Steam HL over Steam HL?

I have it on Steam BUT

I wanted to play Half Life on my LAN with some old computers,.

I wasnt going to install Steam on them so I just used the Half Life CD I have to install it on a P3 733Mhz 256MB RAM and 3 other computers, 2 of them have widescreen monitors.

I think the Steam version wont let u use 1 cdkey to play on LAN at home.

I need help with this. my displays always on 1920x1080 and when start a game with my psychical copy it shows a low resolution portion of my desktop and I hear sound from the game. I would like to at least learn to open it into a window. I have toyed with the games display settings and my graphics setting but I cant figure it out.

some people already own a psychical copy and rather not buy another. some dont like steam at all. some prefer a psychical copy.
