hey guys thought I'd see who uses steam on here in case a few of you might like a bash at CS:S, TF2 L4D or anything else I have (if only to call SAU ppl faggots on mic looolz), given that the gaming nights were a bit of a letdown.

I already have Ash on there, my username funnily enough is bozodos.

or if you CBF come looking for me on the Surf Infamous CS:S Gungame server, I usually play on there :P

I use Steam. I'm actually a fan of it! It appeals to my laziness with buying games, and the prices are actually less then in-store!

I just downloaded Mass Effect 2 last night, haven't played it yet, didn't even play the first one but figured I would give this a go.

woot

I used to play TF2 but it got repetative and stale... and all those upgraded weapons that I didn't know f**ked me over... I bought Dragon Age:Origins but that got pretty boring pretty quickly.

I played Borderlands pretty thoroughly, never got into the multiplayer though...

I have been thinking about getting L4D2 for some time now, I miss multiplayer games, but I just don't really have the time.

I used to call it steaming pile of shit. Because for those who don't remember, back when Half Life 1 and Counter-Strike 1.X was all the rage we had a simple existing process for installing and playing games. You just installed Half Life 1 with a CD and downloaded/installed CS on top of that. Then you downloaded whatever updates were available. You could activate any mod easily through the Half Life menu. But then the Steam dependant CS:Source came along, forcing you to download Steam (combination of good and bad marketing IMO...it forced people to try out Steam but also made many reluctant to take on CS:S for this reason - we hate third party / unnecessary software!).

Trying it out after converting to CS:S changed my opinion of it though...now that it's been refined into a user friendly package it's a great tool. Buying games online...and being able to play them on any PC just by logging into your account and downloading the game is a big advantage. At the same time you don't own the physical product which sucks, and if your account gets hacked/banned then you're in a good mess. Automatic game updates are handy. Searching for half-life based game servers too. It simplifies the hell out of things if you have alot of different computer games. And games like Left 4 Dead, which have very poor in game user interfaces/menus pretty much depend on it for player/clan interaction.

You can actually back your shit up Birds. When I built my computer, I was moving those files every which way, and the games still worked.

I had to re-download borderlands, at least, Steam thought I did... I had all the files necessary, started the download, paused it, moved all the files into the Borderlands directory, resumed the download and it went from 1% to 99%... Pretty sure it was just verifying files.

So you can just backup the game directories if you want. I've been thinking about it, cause my steam folder is something like 60gbs...

I didn't like it at first either cause it felt like some crap software was being forced on me, but it's definately a bonus now. Kinda like if iTunes worked with MP3s and didn't sync and delete shit when it felt like it...

Oh yeah everyone hated Steam back in the days when a lot of people had dialup still, TF2 is only really annoying when they bring out new weapons which everyone who plays 24/7 gets straight away due to achievement farming or sheer time spent in game, then having to spend another 2 - 3 weeks getting pwnd until you get them at random.

There is an SAU group on steam btw

i got steam, play plenty of gungame on cs:s and every now and then a fiew normal servers (Cant surf for shit) but that wont stop me from winning every round lol :)

add my account duno if it will work but try Kinetic^ someshit like that :D

yeah i hated it originally.. one of the main reasons was updating all the fooking time.. and 12-20mb updates.. and would update during the game.. don't mind it now.. just play CSS though.. cbf really playing games on pc much anymore..

play breakfloor [iC] Server as its a fast map and your not watching others play for ages when you die lol.. don't really add steam friends as i don't go on to socialise..

i just bought all the XCom games on steam on the weekend for 5 bucks... awwww yeah. reliving my childhood with pixellated turn based games now.

ahaha, i loved UFO. i think i still have it somewhere. pretty sure i still have the base and soldier patches for it too where you can alter the inventory of the base and upgrade your soldiers equipment

lol I had someone in CS ask me the other day if i was the same person as here :banana:

you should Ash, then if a few people wanna have a game they can just use public servers and do it informally

I was going to get L4D2 but is it really worth 50 bucks over L4D?

I don't have L4D so I'll probably buy L4D2 when my frickin audio starts working again!

I was playing Mass Effect 2 last night, I'm not an instant fan. I think the game pretty heavily assumes you played the first one and know wtf you're doing... I was racking up points for all this shit and had no idea wtf to do with them... I think I have like $50000 and have nfi what they do...

Can you jump in this game?

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
