    i dunno how i missed this thread lol but i have a few guest passes i can give out also because they are about to expire i gotta get rid of em before they do. (didnt realize i was given more lol)

    i have 2 guest passes to killing floor and 3 guest passes to shattered horizon.
    now due to the fact that they expire on the 11 of this month (killing floor ones do anyway) i will be giving these away tomorrow at some point. for the shattered horizon passes i have to come up with a way to give em away so stay tuned for those.

    anyway for the giveaway on the killing floor passes hmm... i guess just pick a number between 1 and 30 and whichever two are closest when i check tomorrow will get em. the time i check is not set in stone. if i forget to check (which happens often) it might not be until like 2 am or something.

    I might take a pass. How many GB is the download for the smaller of the two games (I don't have much internet left)?

    Also is it actually worth signing up to steam?

    EDIT: I just signed up :)

    not too sure how large killing floor is fresh but after lots of custom map downloads i have it up to 1649mb so it should be quite a bit smaller then that. i currently dont have shattered horizon installed on my laptop (out of space) but that game says i need 1262mb to install my guess is that they are about the same size.

    i got a better idea ill just post the minimum specs for the games.

    Shattered Horizon:
    Minimum:
    OS: Windows Vista/7 (Does not support Windows XP)
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 / AMD Athlon64 X2 5600+
    Memory: 2GB
    Graphics: 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT / ATI Radeon HD 3870
    DirectX®: 10 (Does not support DirectX 9)
    Hard Drive: 1.5 GB
    Sound: Windows Vista compatible

    Killing Floor:
    Minimum:
    OS: Windows 2000/XP/Vista
    Processor: 1.2 GHZ or Equivalent
    Memory: 512 MB RAM
    Graphics: 64 MB DX9 Compliant
    Hard Drive: 2 GB free hard drive space
    Sound: DX 8.1 Compatible Audio

    just let me know which one you want and ill give it to yah since no one else seems to be interested :D

    for anyone who needs it and in order to post the expiration dates heres a pic

    Thanks a lot :D
    I'll take the Killing Floor since I only have an NVS 130m.

    I guess I should try to sell my notebook and get something with a better GPU. Or maybe it's finally time to set up a DIY vidock.

    Is half life 2 still up for grabs? I would like to play half life 2 because I have played HL1 and all the expansions as well as Half life 2 episode 1 and 2. Don't know why I never picked up the first installment of half-life 2 but I didn't... I would like to know the rest of the story and get hyped up for episode 3 (if it isnt vaporware)

    No, not HL:2. You get HL2: Lost Coast (which is basically a tech demo), HL2: Deathmatch (I'm not even sure if people still play this), and Portal Slice (a demo of Portal).

    Not bad though considering you get it for free.
