So what did you get for chrimbo?

[Nitrous]

Just thought I would share with you all really. I didn't get many presents but what I did get are expsensive lol. Ok my stuff worth typing.

1. PC for my room after the last one kinda died.... but had to swap the monitors round as we have 2 and 2 PC's. The family one I use a lot like now lol is once again using the 5 year almost broke rubbish max res of 800x600 and I took back the better 1024x768 monitor that was orignaly mine anyway. Hopfuly my parents will buy a TFT monitor for this PC.

2. The PC I have must have almost everything ya could think of on it with a spec which might be able to run HL2...

3. Other things: Computer Vax, Clock thing with wall projector, Freeview T.V box, clothes and a scart bank thing so that I don't have to keep pullin the scart cable out of the back of the T.V all the time when I wanna play the X-box instead of the PS2.

Meh I few other things but not worth talkin about

What I didn't get that I wanted:
A DVD PLay back kit for the X-box and Call Of Duty: Finest Hour.... meh oh well guess I don't need the playback kit tho

So what did every one else get this year?

Most likely because of his computer's specs.

[Laguna Loire]

Nah, I had the right specs for it. One word sums up the reason for it not working: Steam. Couldn't get it working. I have tried almost every solution there is to get Steam working and they all failed. I could do system restore, but I first installed Steam a very long time ago, and if I do system restore now, I'll lose some really important data I need...There's that, and I can't remember how long ago it was when I first installed Steam.

Oh, and if anyone in the UK wants to buy HL2, then I'm selling it on eBay. PM me if you're interested.

When did you download steam? if it was when HL2 first came out there were problems, it should be fine now.
