99 Steam Games

I have 99 steam games. That is significantly larger than I have physical games. There are two reasons for that:

  1. Steam offers me many, many deals, especially on older but still relevant games.
  2. Steam offers large packs of games at discounted prices.

I began using steam back in 2004 when they were throwing around Half-Life 2 with every video card, but before it came out you could play the older games. And a $10 upgrade got me Day of Defeat: Source and I could keep the back catalog. $10 for Half-Life and all associated mods PLUS a new game that I was waiting for? Sign me up.

Patch Tuesday

I just wanted to mention something that a lot of people don’t know about, Patch Tuesday. That would be that scheduled Microsoft patched are sent out the second Tuesday of every month. The only exception is that critical patches become available as soon as possible.

Why does this matter? Well if you don’t want to run automatic updates you can make a note of the second Tuesday of every and just run Windows Update then instead of always having a background process.

Star Wars: The Old Republic – First Gameplay Videos

This came out about 5 days ago but it was nowhere to be found on my RSS feeds: http://media.pc.ign.com/media/816/816935/vids_1.html

Looks wonderful, I can’t wait until this comes out. Finally an MMO where taking on more than one NPC is normal and won’t get your ass handed to you.
