Alien Swarm

Looks fun, costs zero pounds and zero pence.

Anyone?

I just installed Steam just to get this. I don't have my new computer yet, but I thought I might as well grab it while it's free, right? (Unless it's always gonna be free, then... ho-hum! :oops:) Does this mean than when I get my new computer up and running, if this (or any other game I grab before that time) isn't free anymore, will I still be able to install it for free on my new computer?

The games are bound to your account, so you can install them on any computer if you log in with your Steam-account! :)

Looks like it could be fun, didn't realise it was free. I'll give it a go. :)

To illustrate how epic fail my current PC is, I decided to see how it could handle the game. It can't even load past the loading screen. :(

You realise you have approximately one month to get your new one up and running, right? People with shit computers only have one duty at iSeries - fetching the rest of us drinks.

You know that's not what I meant.

Looks like you can a L4D style AI directory with a console command too :)

Well, my comp is up and running. I'm just patching WotLK now, but I've given Alien Swarm a whirl and it seems to perform beautifully! I still don't mind fetching drinks from time to time though. But only if they're alcoholic!

Oooh, didn’t realise there was a ‘other games’ section until today. Thanks for moving it.

Still not tried the game, really must! (if only to get my TF2 hat!)
