God how I envy you people.
I hope I get it running when I get home.
I really, really, really, really want to hate Valve and Gabe Newell forever though. And steam.
Gaming is suposed to be about fun and forgetting the stupid burocratic shit they make us put up with in real life.
Maybe this is Valve's attempt at Super Realism(TM). I've warned about this for years, that the more like real life games become the more they will suck.
That's what I liked about Painkiller, how the bodies flew like rag dolls. Doom 3 was more realistic and less fun, IMO. But more scary, but I didn't really like the scary part.
Of course, nothing in my long gaming career had prepared me for Steam. I should have probably played some of those MMO games that I never cared about. Just to season myself.
Oh well. I'll take up voodoo or obeah and make a Gabe Newell voodoo doll and a Valve company voodoo doll. Stick a pin in and twist it. Over and over and over again.
