Since then, I have upgraded to a monster of a laptop that has handled every game I've thrown at it so far, including Team Fortress 2. So, we don't have to worry about requirement issues on my end.

Anyway, with Steam, it's basically buying the games and downloading/installing them. Similar to Direct2Drive, but I think it's a lot better, what with TF2 and all... =P

Either way, I think I'm going to buy the Trilogy package they have on Steam: All 3 games for around $50. Sounds like a better idea than buying each one seperately...

It's not like because I buy it from Steam, I can't play with you guys...

...Right?

Right. Steam just supplies it, it's not a whole different game or anything.

And yes. Steam is made of win.

I was primarily concerned about this because Curon once downloaded SC to play with me and for some reason, getting on B.Net and downloading the updates didn't work for him.

But now that I'm thinking about it, you can't just create a GW account. You need a membership key, which is much like a CD key. This normally comes with the box you buy, but I'm not sure about this when downloading it online. It may be possible to get it online at the GW sight, but I have no idea.

I think it works itself out with Steam...

I bought Unreal Tournament 3, which of course needs a CD-Key in order to work. When you start a game, a little Steam window appears in the corner of the screen with the CD Key in it and you type it in and all is well...

If it's anything like that, the membership key will appear on screen or something similar to that.

Just got back from my school. I passed all but two of my GSCEs (only failed German and chemistry).

All in all, I'm quite pleased. I'll be going to college in september, and I should be getting a laptop as a reward.

The best part is, I didn't revise for a single test.

Yeah, a couple of people have pointed the site out to us ever since we were the Metroid Role Playing Forum. I was like the seventh to do so >.>

Regardless, its a fantastic site and the band has some serious talent.

Yeah, the band's name is Stemage. They do other work besides the Metroid Metal stuff, too.
