NO! Don't support VU! Support Valve! Buy from them! THEY deserve the money!!!! Plus you can always burn the directory onto a cd. And plus! You can also get Half-Life 1: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, and Coutner-Strike: Source! Trust me, atleast buy the silver package of of steam!

Either way Valve get's their money man. Also there's nothing really that great about the silver package it's a waste in my opinion. Half Life: Source is nothing but the original with Blue Shift models and Half Life 2's water effects same with Day of Defeat: Source. Besides you know someone, if not the DoD team, is going to make a full scale WW2 multiplayer mod for Half Life 2. Same with the original game.

for those who preloaded and want to backup their CS and HL2 here is some information for ya
Get into Steam, then in an internet browser, type "steam://backup/", Steam should pop-up and take you through a Back-up wizard.

I'm hoping HL2 or KOTOR2 will grab game of the year. It makes me sad that no one at my school knows what HL2 is. They're all about GTA and Halo 2. What injustice.

*whimpers in envy* And I love head-crabs--after I whack them with my crowbar. AAAA! I'm even considering get a new graphics card just for HL2 (and Doom 3)... anyone here playing with a relatively cheap graphics card? (Gasp! Blasphemy!)
