I like the way that STEAM works. Pity they can't start flogging movies and
music as well. Thirteen million people can't all be wrong? I also have
HL2E2, TF2 and Portal vouchers that have been bundled in with my new
graphics cards, it's all good! I wish that Valve would start the preloading
for these games soon, and give a release date, so I can book a few days off
work to play them!

I can smell a troll. Or, worse, a none-too-clever retailer.

You need to trip-trap trip-trap over the bridge to
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action to do that.
He doesn't read this group - just x-posts to it occasionally.

Sounds good. You might like to pop into t'other group sometimes just to
lurk. The comedy value cannot be understated.

What is csipga? I googled it and didn't get anything related to a
newsgroup. Nearest I can figure is "crime scene investigator for the
professional golf association." But, I doubt that's what it stands for.

as Shawk said, just an abbreviation for the name of the newsgroup
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action (Because typing that out is a bit of a
mouthful..)
Virtually every troll thread i've seen here in the last year or so has
been crossposted to that group - Also, it usually involves the troll
known as 'pc games'/'saynotosteam'/'steamkiller'/'difool'
(at least, i figure that they're all the same person) who i can only
assume is one of their regulars :)

Yup - all the same poster - it's the groups equivalent of the village
idiot. No-one's sure if its a very clever sock or a genuine moron and
many regs over there want others to KF and not reply to him but there
are some (and I lean that way) who find many of his posts
unintentionally hilarious - a little like regularly visiting a good
comic strip. In fact he should have got a part in 'concerned'
