Anybody else playing? I just finished all the Bonus Advanced Levels in Portal but have only done a few of the challenge levels. Of course, I've played though Episode 2 a few times, once with the commentary on. The graphic enhancements are incredible. Pretty heavy ending, though. Can't wait for Episode 3.

Oh, I cant get enough of Bioshock right now. Its only second to WoW at the moment for me. I used to play a ton of CS:S but thats kind of taken backseat to a few other things. Namely, the Speedmaster

I haven't picked up Bioshock yet. Probably going to get it on the 360 instead of my PC, after I get Halo 3 (and perhaps even after I get Gears of War).

I'm thinking that's a common problem with anyone who knows what the Orange Box is.

if your dork is even a little rusty you should get that checked out.
I can recomend a good doctor, or perhaps a different type of professional who specializes in taking care of rusty dorks.

I was tempted to google search it real quick, but I think id rather be in suspense..well maybe we can make a game out of guessing that game! Ok here we go... Which is the most common throughout the game. Magic Spells, Firearms or gigantic armies.

I'm guessing that scantily clad, attractive, non-human females are abundant in orange box to give those with rusty dorks someting to look at.

You are more than welcome to play just note that said playing will be a solo event or in other words...

Attention!!! More 'Dork Talk' incoming...
Chuckpo, why go the shops when you can d/l it??
I used to play WOW since beta... had 5 Horde chars, favourite was Hunter & Lock... gave it up because raiding means NO LIFE!!
John, Send me a friend invite on Steam and I'll get you an invite to our gaming community... quite a few play TF2 (Team Fortress 2). Also, Bioshock has lots of glitch's and crashes for me..you need a high end machine for it to run on high settings, I run on medium, so your probably better getting for the XBOX.
For the newb's that don't know what Steam is. Steam is an application that you install and it is used for organizing your media (games), chatting with friends (like MSN, but in-game too), purchasing games online and downloading the games, rather than going out to the shops... no discs, no serial numbers, no receipt... just your account.

Okay, okay, the Orange Box is a bundle of games from Valve Software, makers of the Half-Life saga. Steam is their online system for downloading their games (and now some third party games like bioshock and the Doom series). I love Halo and Quake and such, but I'm a total geek for Half-Life.
Orange Box combines Half-Life 2, Episode 2 (which SHOULD have been called Half-Life 3, Episode 2, since Half-Life 2 was a full game on its own and Episodes 1-3 will be a full game on their own, but I digress...) with Team Fortress 2 and Portal. They also included the original Half-Life2 along with Episode 1, but most people already have those. I've played them ad nauseum. Now I can give away the original Half-Life 2 and Episode 1, but you need broadband and a decent system with a really good video card.

I'm new to online gaming but must admit I've become pretty hooked on Dark Messiah - Might & Magic. Don't care much if it's dorkish or not, there's still loads of fun to be had. I remember the days when even owning a PC made you a dork, now it seems we all hav 'em!

No, I'm holding out for a sequel to Bards Tale. I love that game, especially the comments from the narrator.
