    What to do that's so much money and so many games!!!! so many awesome packs!!!! I already have 100 games and those 2 big packs that i want will add soooo many more. I went and bought 50 bucks worth right now but those edios and 2k packs are so nice. I own like 6 games out of both packs but damn!

    So these are my games lol. I have spent $315.1 on all these games....minus all thee old classic HL games/expansions. I owned the retail of them.

    i used to be a big fan of not paying for games but the fact that i have bought like 80 games for under 300 bucks makes it ok lol. Well now it like 90 i have bought in the last year for a little over 300....maybe like 320. I am averaging less than 4 bucks again lol and most expensive game was 15 lol cheapest was 98 cents lol

    be glad that all those steam games don't fill up your place like my wife's clothes fill up our house. steam = virtual hording.

    if i can get my 2k pack and my edios pack that'll add a ton to mine lol

    EDIT :eek:nly reason why i buy games and off steam is because i buy them at 50-92% off lol otherwise i can't afford them. My two most expensive games were wings of prey and empire total war which were both 15 bucks a piece lol. I got my hole collect for 315 bucks lol 80+ games. 90+ if you count the ones i owned from retail like HL and the expansions and stuff

    EDIT: am i the only one that keeps them all installed lol

    Well with the steam pack deals, it's cheaper to buy the whole catalog (i.e. Valve, EIDOS, etc) during these super sales than buying the two or three games separately normally. So you end up with 20 games when you only really care to play a few of them.

    Im holding out, its new but I hope it goes on sale here shortly.

    But thats prob why BFBC2 is so cheap, is to entice people to purchase the first game needed for the expansion if they did not have it on steam already.

    Well the easiest way to tunnel is this. It's technically not tunneling but gets the same job done. first off you need to have a friend in another country like the US that you can trust. After you got that friend you need to set up a remote desktop so you can control his computer. So once your done you got full control of his computer and then you can sign into your steam account from his PC and buy the games you want ^^

    EDIT:i'll do it this weekend for one of you guy's if you buy me the 2k pack :p

    That's lame .. getting someone to just gift it to you is the easiest and simplest way.

    A lot been doing that here , the most recent i took part in was the just cause 2 deal.

    That crap you suggesting doesn't sounds legal.

    I think it should be the other person that trusts you considering you're controlling their computer. If you have a trust with someone that much then just paypal them the money and let them gift you the game.

    Sorted. All I had to do is contact steam customer support and asked them to remove the lock on my account , Now I can purchase games on the Steam UK website from abroad even though my IP differs from what is on file with my billing information.
