Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / June 2007Steam is a steaming pile of sh.t...
I paid for the games and when I want to play them, I get a nag application that pushes more games on me and I can't see where to start my game. This is bullshit. > I paid for the games and when I want to play them, I get a nag application > that pushes more games on me and I can't see where to start my game. > This is bullshit. Yeah, I recommend you just format your hard drive, and then cut the power cord to the computer. Then you won't get irritated by the computer any more. Simple, eh?  Signature"Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". >I paid for the games and when I want to play them, I get a nag application >that pushes more games on me and I can't see where to start my game. >This is bullshit. Yes - that tab at the top called "My Games" probably has nothing to do with how you might play your games? Its all to complicated. Give it up - you are to stupid to play computer games!!! Cheers Stick to button mashing on a console, no, wait, smashing up the plastic hippos at hungry hippo, or playing with traffic. > I paid for the games and when I want to play them, I get a nag application > that pushes more games on me and I can't see where to start my game. > This is bullshit.

If that clown had actually came out with a credible post asking for help in a sensible way then I would have tried to help. So take your rhetoric, well I'm sure you can think of the rest... >I paid for the games and when I want to play them, I get a nag application >that pushes more games on me and I can't see where to start my game. > This is bullshit. There is a way to disable this from happening. Open STEAM. Right click icon in tray and go to settings. Or however you get there. Go to messages. Uncheck the boxes that request notification of these updates. Try that................. >I paid for the games and when I want to play them, I get a nag application >that pushes more games on me and I can't see where to start my game. > This is bullshit. Yup, that irritated the crap out of me too. You'll hopefully have found by now that you can make Steam show you your games first by going to File > Settings > Interface and choosing 'Games' from the dropdown list. Occasionally Steam will forget this setting and go back to advertising at you when you run it, annoying but thankfully infrequent h >>I paid for the games and when I want to play them, I get a nag application >>that pushes more games on me and I can't see where to start my game.

I was pissed because I had just bought the game and felt like I was being f.cked around. At any rate, I finished ep 1 very fast. Ep1 seems like about 1/4 of HL2. It is good, but too little.

I thought EP1 was better than HL2. More rounded I would say, more fun. That's not to say I didn't enjoy HL2. Far from it. > > It was shorter than I expected too, and not as good as I'd hoped, but for a > > fiver I cant really complain. > > I thought EP1 was better than HL2. More rounded I would say, more fun. > That's not to say I didn't enjoy HL2. Hmm, I dunno, i enjoyed both HL1 and 2, both HL 1 was a better game. HL2 was a series of showing off of an engine, ep1 was a better structured but far shorter game... All were fun.... No, I have no point. >>> It was shorter than I expected too, and not as good as I'd hoped, but > for a [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > No, I have no point. Yes I think it's pretty much, all of the Half-life games have been fun so far except Blue Shift, OppFor and the other one which was so sh*t I've banished it's name from my memory. > Yes I think it's pretty much, all of the Half-life games have been fun > so far except Blue Shift, OppFor and the other one which was so sh*t > I've banished it's name from my memory. ?! OpFor was great, it was almost as good as the original! Civilian_Target > ?! OpFor was great, it was almost as good as the original! No you silly tattie munch foo. Oppfor and Blueshift where horrible haphazardly thrown together poo. Valve were lazy and they saw coin so they sold the rights to gearbox who made a total hash of it. Look at their catalogue. Not drooling, yes there is a reason for that. There are no good games there!

Although Gearbox has also worked on (Mostly map design and 3D modelling) TFC, CS and DoD.... :-p I believe cs_backalley and de_train were both gearbox maps :) SignatureBen Cottrell AKA Bench >>> ?!

Bah, I'm out numbered. I'm tempted to take a 2nd look. Although it's not showing in my steam catalogue because I never registered the CD. No way in hell I'm buying it again though. > I didn't care much for BS, but I thought OpFor was a great addon Well I can remember nothing of them. So I wonder how good they were. > Although Gearbox has also worked on (Mostly map design and 3D modelling) > TFC, CS and DoD.... :-p > > I believe cs_backalley and de_train were both gearbox maps :) They did some maps. Please, grab me, I'm about to feint with shock! >> ?! OpFor was great, it was almost as good as the original! > > No you silly tattie munch foo. Oppfor and Blueshift where horrible > haphazardly thrown together poo. No you crazy northern nukie brown drinker, OpFor was great! Some superb moments, I distinctly remember one going down a long and very dark vent shaft "Oh, what could be in here... oh sh.t, a snarks nest!" Very good addon, especially given the average quality of addons at the time. > Valve were lazy and they saw coin so they sold the rights to gearbox who > made a total hash of it.

Hold on, I remember a vent with a snark nest in the original Half-life, are you getting confused? >> Valve were lazy and they saw coin so they sold the rights to gearbox >> who made a total hash of it.

Yes and although it was kinda fun it's not something I'd come back to time again. Besides, I'd be an OAP skater. >> No you crazy northern nukie brown drinker, OpFor was great!

There's also a vent with a snark nest in Blue Shift (plus the two nests way down in the Chumtoad Lair, of course). Signature"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.

See, no creativity :) >> No you crazy northern nukie brown drinker, OpFor was great!

No, you're the one getting confused I think. I just googled "half-life snarks nest" and all the results were for opposing force... AFAIR it was in OpFor. Civilian_Target > No, you're the one getting confused I think. I just googled "half-life > snarks nest" and all the results were for opposing force... AFAIR it was > in OpFor. Well as previously mentioned I've banished Oppfor's shite'ness from my mind. There is a snark nest in Half-life1 though. It's shortly after you encounter multiple vortigaunts and get the use of a mounted machine gun. > Steam was on the blink but after some rebooting it worked.
