Well HL2 has been hacked and delayed.

I have started to make skins for steam! Before i post them on deviant art i need to give credit to the proper authors!

Oh and if any of you are Deus Ex fans. Mark December 3, 2003 because thats the day Deus Ex 2: Invisible War comes out. Hopefully it will make the Unreal Warfare (or is it Unreal Tech?) engine look good. UT2k3 blew and so did Unreal 2.

Also Steam is a great program. 1.1 mb/s downloads for all valve games. Eg. Half-life, Counter-Strike, TFC, DOD, Ricochet, OP4, and DMC. It also supports all of the 3rd party mods (contact me on aim and ill tell you how to get them into steam.) Steam also initalizes VGUI2 into all of the games. So instead of the old menu you have a brand new one that can be minimized without losing your sound, an integrated friends list, and a spiffy new console that displays commands depending on what you type! The console also allows you to scroll up and down and see what was said. Now downloading maps straight from the server isn't slow. Instead of 4 kb/s you get upwards of 150 kb/s (i broke 500 kb/s once on map downloads!). Steam has an anti-cheat server that removes cheaters entirely from steam. Im going to stop talking now
