If you are talking about steam... that is VERY old news... like almost 2 weeks old.

i've had strip throat, never got the news about steam, and by the time i got to this forum to ***** about it :S

Besides the 300 meg download, is there any other reason why you don't like steam? I think that it has potential...

300 megs is nothing for a 56ker, trust me I've been on 56k for years, leave it on overnight, its no big deal. Steam already has over 5 threads stating how dumb it is. Valve has not yet FORCED us to use Steam.
I suggest you come back and flame them when they do so. Steam is a great idea, it was simply released prematurly.

miroku beside the 300megs i feel bad for people with crappy comps

I have not a 56k, i have the super T-1 cable.

I do not know whats the big idea but i know not the fear of steam...if thou art 56k'th Upgrade'ith Dumb ****'th!!(I like shakespear) a T-1 is so cheap now adays that anyone who can aford cable can get it!
And if your really that poor, then get a dsl, almost just as good but not as expeseive.

 

[Es_Trunks2_old]

you see captain bob, i cant get 56k because even though "thou art rich" it doesnt come out to my house, i have to wait for Dish Network Cable, and earthbound is $1000 for a ****ign satellite JUST for cable :S

Sorry guys, but progress doesn't stop just because some of you aren't up to speed. Life goes on. We can't keep pretending everyone in the world has 56k internet connections forever or the internet will only be using a fraction of its potential. Same goes for crappy comps. If your comp is really more than 5 years old, that is your problem. Get a 3 year old comp for practically nothing and stop complaining.

Steam is not the worst thing that has even happened to Half Life; it's one of the best things to happen to Half Life in a very long time. It just needs more work, and you just need a better connection, one way or the other. Life isn't fair, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to accomodate for you.
