quick question, does anyone here own a Mac and a Steam account?

could give it a try (iMac in the office)

Yep, 2010 13" Macbook

Cool, if you guys are willing to do some testing, could you PM me your Steam IDs please?

Dear Esther has just been released for the Mac! and for those of you who were holding off because of the price it's also now only half price on Steam! http://%7boption%7d

For anyone wondering, If you've already bought the Pc version, you'll automatically get access to the Mac version and vice versa! Go buy! I need money for crack!

Oh yeah and for those with dual and triple monitors, i also made up some nice wallpapers to celebrate: http://%7boption%7d

Awesome, gotta love dem wallpapers man!

Less than 4€? Geez.

Let's see how my 2008 mbp manages with it...
