Topic: The Nintendo Life Steam Thread

I noticed a few users with Steam accounts who may not know of the group, so I'm diggin it up. We really need to get together to play some games, also highly recommend Suicide Survival (HL2 Source mod)
_{I also added edhe}

Just joined the Steam group, I have the same screen name on Steam as I do here. I Play Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Plain Sight, and Team Fortress 2. I usually play the Left 4 Dead games more often then anything else so everyone is welcome to join in (provided the empty slots are there )

Edit: I forgot to mention, I also play Street Fighter IV.

I play mostly, or I did, TF2, Killing Floor, Altitude, and some others.

So this Steam thing... when I buy a game do I only download it once onto my computer? I ask because I've heard of some kind of thing where the game is kind of "streamed" and I can't really be chipping away at my download limit everytime I want to play a game.

First off...the last post here was in 2010...

But to answer your question, yeah, you only download the game to your computer and you can play most games even in offline mode. There's no streaming as of yet. You're thinking of Onlive.

I'm thinking of getting Garry's Mod soon.

Thanks, I was thinking of pledging for an upcoming Kickstarter game that is going to be on Steam & it would seem pretty absurd to do so for a game that might only be available on a platform I can't really use.
