    Fook me this Orange box just gets better and better

    This was released recently (I think yesterday) I just had a go at this and have to say it’s brilliant.. absolute genius puzzle game and very entertaining, I’m not normally a puzzle lover unless its Puzzle Bobble which I loved when it was out but this is great fun.. and so different

    The orange box if your tighter than a nuns minge and have’nt got it yet is a great purchase

    It’s a good laugh, especially when you see yourself go through!

    Only had “one more level” for about 45mins last night!

    Orange Box FTW!!! 😀

    This Orange Box thing does sound good. Pity it’s on Steam because that annoying heap of scrud clinkers is never going on any computer I own ever again.

    ha many people say that.. whats the problem with it.. I’ve never had an issue with steam, granted you’ve probably used it longer than I have :/

    i have never had anything major happen with steam and i have used it since it was launched.
    tbh i wish that more of these digital download services were more like steam.

    I hated Steam when it first came out but now I have to tip my hat to it. I just copied the whole lot to another drive (deleted client.bob file) and no problems and now to another PC and still no problems no need to sit there waiting to install my games again off crappy CDs the download some 200 meg patch from some slow a$$ wanky host. New communities stuff is pretty tidy too tons off geeky stats etc + you can see how sh1t at games your m8’s are.

    Portal is genius although maybe a bit short and not as taxing as it perhaps could have been. That said, I had no expectations of it so it’s a very nice bonus and certainly makes the discounted pre-release Orange Box even more of a steal.

    PORTAL MOVIE

    SOIA do it m8 it’s a different beast now. It’s so nice not to have to f**k about with patches, no cd cracks and all that other bollox even scratched disk nightmares etc + the back catalogue on steam is immense now too. They are successfully cutting out a big chunk of middleman and passing the saving on.

    So I take it that it Steam no longer:

    Adds 25 minutes to you PC startup.
    Takes 3 days to download anything off it.
    Randomly jumps up from the start menu and minimises/crashes any game you are currently playing (unless it’s already on Steam, in which case this never happened – conveniently).
    Gets up in the middle of the night, drinks all your milk and leaves your fridge door open.

    If I am going to wank up my PC with it can someone tell me what else is available on it? Not including:

    Orange box
    RO
    Completely toss Populace/RTS type bollocks called Virus or something

    I just remembered yesterday that I completely missed NOLF2 and was gonna buy that today. Is that on it by any chance?

    Yes…and still trys to connect to the net, but you can disable Load at Startup, it just takes an age to find(well for me anyway)

    Yes, even on 6mb

    They are pimping Quakewars ET, Bioshock, STALKER aswell

    Ohh and i havnt got DoD to work yet, a game that worked fine years ago. Steam is a nice idea but still can fuckup quite easily.

    Ah cheers for that Silversides, I might just buy NOLF2 then.

    I do have a cat but he doesn’t have any bad manners, he doesn’t really listen to any music mind.

    No.. takes the same amount of time as my PC always has.. oo i’m gonna time it now.. ok it took 2 mins max

    Took about a couple of hours to download this orange box ready to play

    I always exit steam when playing anything other than steam, infact I exit pretty much everything when its booted

    I’m enjoying episode 2 of HL2 at the mo also
