I signed up another steam account just so I had another account with some games on it - honestly valve = legends.

This means ATI owners can get mods for even free-er than they already would :3

I also think HL2DM has just lost it's exclusiveness, if it didn't allready lost it (or even ever had).

I got an ATI, i own both games, and i'm too lazy to make a new account, but hey, it IS a good effort from Valve, pretty good stuff, maybe i'll hook one of my friends up with some cool games eh

I had a Steam account years ago that I opened the day I bought Half-Life 2 (the day it was released in fact). Then I bought a brand new ATI Radeon 9800 (again years ago), and I got another free Steam account with a second Half-Life 2.

Now I'm planning on buying a new graphics card sooner or later because my 9800 is... hum... you know. So, I will have 3 Steam accounts because I already own HL2DM and LostCoast two times (in each Steam account). The situation will become comic when I'll buy Episode 2, because the Black Box was canceled. I'll be forced to buy Half-Life 2 a second time and as a result of all this mess, I'll finally end up with 4 Steam accounts with an Half-Life 2 in each. Can't wait this situation..

Lost Coast is maybe 15 minutes of gameplay. HL2DM is just laggy grav gun spamming. Wooooo. That was worth the $400 graphics card.

you get all hl2 mods

[JynxDaddy]

you can run mods without HL2 ?

[FMPONE]

All you need is SourceSDK base which I believe comes with HL2DM

i m gunna l00k s0 dum if i am rong

[Bluestrike]

You can only run mods multiplayer mods that use sourcesdkbase if lost coast gives you acces to sourcesdkbase (pretty much every mod that is released since august 2006 i think) and the multiplayer mod may not be using anything content from HL2 since they don't have it.

The Black-Box contains 2 keys: One is Half-Life 2 and Ep1 and one is The black-package (Ep2, Tf2, Portal) and you are allowed to resell the keys seperately or give them away seperately. If i wouldn't have the blackbox yet (another discussion) I were going to give HL2 and EP1 to my cousin because on his birthday.

[Rick_D]

It's just ATI, Fletch, not "the latest ATI card".

I already own the games but it's useful to have backup accounts, maybe you want to give one to a friend to play some mods with or maybe you just want to install some cheats and not get your main account banned

[BioPulse]

I usually forget that you can make a new account and register all new games and such with my existic account ¬_¬ pretty stupid but my account won't get banned anyway i guess
