It does suck that you MUST be on steam to play HL2 and such though, which means you have to have an internet connection. Not a problem for most people, but I guess it could be for some people. Also it takes too long to boot up.

That was a problem for me when I spent a year living in Malta. I had access to a really poor quality WiFi signal, but some company ran it. So not only was it ****ty quality, but I had to pay for the ****ty quality by the minute.

HL2 came out while I was there, and I was able to give up all my other gaming except HL2. I just couldn't miss out, couldn't wait a year to play it. The good thing is, though, with Steam and non-online games like HL2 you only have to be connected long enough to start the game. Once the game is started, it doesn't matter if you're still online or not.

It obviously wasn't perfect. HL2 crashed quite a bit on my laptop, so to restart the game not only did I have to restart my laptop, I also had to pick everything up and go find the signal again.

Anyway, TF2 looks awesome. Is it out already???

Oh, and the bow-and-arrow Zelda multiplayer looks like fun. I wonder if that guy just has really good aim or if the game "helps" his aim a bit.
