Just wondering if anyone on Nintendo Life has Steam.

Actually you don't technically need a graphics card to get Steam

Not me. Some stuff seems a bit high. Earthworm Jim 20 dollars.

No, but you might need one to play the games Steam provides

Not for a single Earthworm Jim but for the collection that includes EWJ, EWJ2, EWJ3D.

I also have Steam. I think it's much better than Games for Windows LIVE.

Portal forced me to install Steam before I could play it. I have not used it as anything other than "that annoying thing I have to open first to play Portal".

I have it just for Valve's games, on my Macbook (hurray for Crossover Mac).

Twitter is a good place to throw your nonsense.

What's Crossover Mac?

These guys make Crossover, and it's software that adds a compatibility layer so that you can run Windows apps / games inside Mac OS X or Linux, with none of the speed loss you get from emulation or virtual machines.

Awhile back, I was thinking about joining Steam to play some PC games I've never played before, and that it would be cheaper then retail, but since Onlive has been announced, I decided not to do it unless Onlive fails. Even though Steam seems like a really good service, Onlive just sounds better to me.

No, it isn't. Steam is better, I can trust Valve, a popular and awesome game developer, more then some random company from out of the blue.

Really? I'm doing the trial of it right now and I'm noticing much lower framerates in TF2 than running it from the WinXP partition on my hard drive. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
