Steam Stories!

Well, I Didn't expect to be blogging so early in the school term, but hey, I'm here.
Recently, either early this week or last week, The steam wallet was launched. pretty much you get an account where you can put money on, and be able to use. unfortunately, it still wants to use your credit card to do so. and for people like me without authorization to one, this ain't happening. Steam, please start selling store cards, you'll certainly profit form it!
anyways, i didn't write to rant on that, ive been busy on steam this week.
since i can't buy, i took advantage of the great portal giveaway, and got the game free in May, which then let me DL demos. I tried Half Life 2 back in May, and enjoyed it thoroughly, and even Team Fortress 2, but that was a rendering disaster, and this laptop will never be able to run online for it (until the game becomes obsolete, which aint happening for a while). Most Recently, i got hold of
a stunning mix of economics and RPG Zelda style, which i recommend to at least get hold of the demo.
there were also Cricket Revolution, which most of you probably dont know what it is about, so i'll spare you the details.
Ive downloaded the demo for
but i havent played it yet. it seems to have passable reviews, so meh.
and then there was this.
now, the funny thing is, my computer can't play Age of Empires 3 for crap, it cant even get past the title screen. and this game came out at lest 5-6 years ago. the Civ 5 demo works nearly perfectly in Directx9 mode, EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. the letters are garbled, and look like thai. im gonna install the service paks to see if it helps. if it does, there is the weekend right there!
until next time, Cheers!
