people should be smart like me and make that their first purchase.
Well, not all of us wait for the "valve complete package" to be created before buying our first game

If I had gotten it back when I got my first Valve game, I'd only have 3-4 titles in it and still need the rest

Half Life, Half Life: Blue-Shift, Half Life: Opposing Force, Ricochet, Counter Strike, Deathmatch Classic, Counter Strike: Condition Zero, Counter Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress Classic.

That's assuming your first steam game was HL2 when it came out.

Thief is a good purchase, even if I like 1 & 2 more than 3. Got that and the meatballs/madballs/whatever thing.

My first Source game was VTM: Bloodlines before HL2 came out, if I remember right.

I was wondering about P.B Winterbottom. It seems to be a game based entirely around that one world in Braid where you could make a copy of yourself. I wonder how it is.

Not that Condition Zero was worth playing tbh...

And I never got into DoD, I was playing COD1 & 2

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

DoD1.3 was fucking amazing

DoD: Source is also a very solid WW2 shooter- almost to the level of cod1/cod2, but an entirely different playstyle

Didn't think I would when I started playing Thief either. Just do it, NAO.

Its not the same game it used to be at release. I loved the game back when it was first released, but after the New Game Enhancements on Nov 15, 2005 ("The death of SWG" as some people call it, including myself) it just killed the game entirely. They made the game more "noob" friendly.

Sad times.....

Yup, in promotions that don't occur nearly as often as they should.

Nothing much worth getting today though

Madballs is worth it, but the community will ebb then come back with sales and free weekends.

ISP's bandwidth meter is borked and I know I was fairly close to the 60GB limit

Nah it goes from the 4th of one month to the 5th of the next month. Just the way the billing period works.

I bought Civ 4. Didn't like it really. Was overly tedious and the combat wasn't very good.

Well i bought the 2K/THQ/Square Enix packs, Kings Bounty Gold and Tropico 3. About $1300 worth for $232.

Nice catch. Ultimately, you're just buying CD keys and download privileges. No big sacrifice on their part.

Shit. There's no option for 1920x1080 in the Steam version of SA and the patch won't work with the .exe
