Q: How do I get Steam?
A: Visit Steam's website here!
Q: I have Steam now, what should I play?
A: Steam offers games from just about every PC game publisher. You can also download plenty of quality free titles. Nvidia and ATI users get some good games.
Trackmania Nations Forever and Sam and Max Season 1 Episode 4 are also free to all users.
You can register and link many games you already own with your game's CD-Key! Click here for a complete list of games supported.

Ventrilo Chat Shut down due to inactivity...
xFire
The final "essential" program that PC gamers often use is xFire.
Like Steam, it provides many features such as friends, messaging, game tracking, etc.
It's great for games that are not supported on Steam or to those who only purchase boxed PC games
Many of the GameTZ users who use Steam also use xFire
Download it here.
xFire users can also use one of these cool sig images like the above!
Servers
None right now... 
Let me know what other servers you guys normally play on, we will get a banner up for it!
Other
Are you a user of Steam and xFire? Be sure to update your bio page, as both are now supported!

added two new admins to the tf2 server they can both change maps and have the rotation list.<jeffro/trueblue>
by the end of the next billing cycle i believe im gonna turn off the dod server since no ones using it but if that changes before then ill of course leave it up.thats well over a month from now btw.
and lastly as far as the contribution thing, dont worry about that ill continue to cover the server fees to avoid any issues that might arise.

I don't know why but I really wanted L4D early on, then started figuring "meh, I don't need it" but when it went on sale this weekend I got it and I absolutely LOVE it. Zombies! 
I'll check back here to see if anyone does an event announcement since I got to turn on my desktop to see events pop up and I'm trying to cut back on the light bill.

So who's up for a game of Left 4 Dead with me? I just spent the last hour playing with some random strangers and had a ton of fun!
I can't wait until this game gets user-generated levels! |

Cool. Look me up when my game finishes redownloading.
(For the curious, I've always been able to download separate language packs for Valve's previous games, so I can play the games in Spanish when I'm bored and want to laugh. But L4D is different... I have to download -all the damn files again-. Four gigs. God |

I think so. After the X-Com deal, and Gren telling me about the Bioshock deal, I've been checking every weekend--great deals. Kinda wish I'd gotten the GRAW pack now .
