The best collection of games ever is on for ten dollars. If you don’t already have it, buy it now. The entire half-life series, portal, and TF2 for ten dollars!

Stickied for importance, the deal is only this weekend.

I’m woefully ignorant of the only thing close to the Elysian fields.

I’ve never done Steam before; is it worth buying?

Is this worth doing?

oh god yes

half life 2 and it’s spawn are easily the best games you will ever play.

you need a decent computer to run it though. most computers made after 2004/5 can play it (don’t take that as a guarantee)

But yes, buy it.

I have a 2008 Dell XPS with 250gb hard drive and 4gb RAM. I think I’ll be good. Log in to see images!

for those people concerned about steam’s digital distribution,

as long as you keep your steam account info you can re-download the games. also if you keep a backup copy of the steamapps folder you don’t need to re-download.

I ****in love that game.

Episode 2 Antlions caves were intense.

Guess I’ll buy it then.

Is it hard to make a Steam account?

It’s as hard as typeing in some info then downloading the steam client.

But the downloading times for games through steam can be horrible.

I got HF 1 & 2 and Portal and do not need TF 2 but this is definitely a great deal.

Also for people to lazy to go and check, it’s normally 29.99.

I bought the Orange Box; how long does it take before I can start installing them?
