Video Game Valhalla

Steam (like the iTunes of video games) is having a blowout sale on lots of modern and classic games. I've been fairly addicted to Team Fortress 2 for just over a year now - no signs of slowing down, really, since the developer (Valve, same as the Steam platform) keeps adding new content for free. TF2 is only $9.99 for a couple days more.

Other notable sales:
Bioshock, Portal, RACE '07 (75% off): $5
Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Half-Life: Blue Shift, Half-Life: Opposing Force (90% off): $0.99
id Super Pack - includes all Doom, Quake, Hexen, and Wolfenstein titles (50% off): $34.99
**Team Fortress II (50% off): $9.99**
**The Orange Box (includes Half Life, Half Life 2, Portal, Peggle, and TF2): $26.99
Unreal Deal Pack (50% off): $19.99
Valve Complete Pack, PopCap Complete Collection (25% off): $74.99
Peggle Deluxe, AudioSurf (50% off): $4.99
Trials Second Edition (75% off): $2.49

If you're a gamer, set up an account on Steam and get to downloading! These prices end on January 2nd. Let me know if you have any questions, too.

Sir, I do believe you use the Norse term "Valhalla" too lightly.

Obviously, Gunderstorm, you've not used Steam yet.

I think Gundy is just too focused on consoles these days. He'd fit in perfectly on Mefightclub were it otherwise.

Why Do I Do This?

I was originally inspired by the Web log posted on the site for Propellerhead Software. They developed a cool 808 emulator which eventually morphed into an entire digital audio workstation package (Reason). Those early posts documented their development process and gave a human insight into their struggles. It was cool. So, I bought some hosted space and figured out FrontPage to put a rudimentary site together. My goal was to connect my family, but then realized this could be a great way for me to keep track of happenings over time. Eventually, the manual, HTML journal gave way to this Blogger setup - much easier to deal with, and not bound to one computer.

Ultimately, this is more about nothing than an episode of Seinfeld, but I appreciate that you've read this far. Really.
