Difool NEEDS steam........

I've been noticing lots of posts from difool lately. Pretty much all
of them are anti-steam. (all of them if you count his sig)
Then it occured to me that people enjoy games in different ways.

On Jan1 I had to install my newsreader and lost all my old newsgroup
messages. Since Jan 1 I've counted 296 anti steam postings from
difool. (didn't count the ones where his sig was the only A-S message)
Figuring it takes an average of 2 minutes to come up with a rant and
post it, that means he's gotten about 10 hrs of usenet fun that he'd
have missed if it wasn't for steam. And that's for only 1 month.

That's more time than I spent playing HL2. lol.
I'm not one of these rabid HL fans. I actually didn't like the game
much. I got it as a gift, installed it, (didn't have any trouble with
steam) and played up to about the airboat levels. By then I was
getting a lot of motion sickness (which never bothers me in other
games) and I wasn't very impressed with the gameplay so I quit
playing.


My point is that I had a legit copy of the game and didn't have any
problems installing or playing it and difool still got way more
enjoyment out of the game than I did.
The last thing he needs is the end of steam. :)

I just hope he bought a copy to encourage valve to continue releasing
steam based games for him to rant about.

You silly little man.

You play through the motion sickness, the stutter, the steam problems
and you enjoy the most masterful gaming experience ever created by
humanity!!!

I had neither of those probems either but even if you did it would
hardly matter because the game is beyond reproach.

And your continued anti-steam preaching bordering on psychotic isn't
weird and scary?

I got some motion sickness on the airboat levels, so turned down
the resolution to 800x600 to get a better frame rate, and
that mostly fixed it.

The game play IMHO gets much better afer the air boat.
You get the gravity gun, then after an excellent bit of
zombie burning and mutilation, you get a beach buggy
complete with gun and ammo supply.

I'd recommend you turn the difficulty down to easy,
complete the air boat sections in short bursts,
then turn the difficulty back up, and enjoy
RavenHolme.

Don't give up the cause!

What if Alexander Graham Bell gave up on the light bulb?
What if Christopher Columbus gave up on the earth being round?
What if you gave up on anti-steam?

News Flash!

Valve web site reports a new and improved version of Steam which is ready
for release to the public. This new version now handles phone calls, cable
TV, video games, board games, all internet sales, income tax filing, and
spail checking.

Then Edison would probably have invented it.

And there you have it. Someone else will invent it. ;)

Man! I have got to write what I think and not what I type.

"Captain, the turret fills with steam,
The feed-pipes burst below --
You can hear the hiss of the helpless ram,
You can hear the twisted runners jam."
And he answered, "Turn and go!"

Not the least bit scary. Knowing I'm safe behind my monitor screen,
firewall, and probably thousands of miles of distance, I can enjoy
difools posts for what they are -- frequently hilarious.
