    Well, some people purchase games as a gift which they can trade at a later date for other games, TF2 items, Portal 2 items or whatever.

    Not bad, all of HoMM V + Dark Savior for $5 total and Bioshock 1/2 $5 each.

    And re:trades - you can trade coupons/coal with people - twice this sale I've been able to "trade up" getting a more expensive game someone had extra for a cheaper sale game!

    You can also trade 7 coal to Steam for a chance at a free game/coupon.

    Yeah, I'm thinking about the HoMM deal, I'm not sure about it because I have 1-4 already, and 5, from the few hours I spent with the demo/playing it at friends', it looks like a total copy of 3 with fancier graphics. Bioshock never interested me...

    Better a total copy of 3 than of 4... ;)

    Just won HL2EP2 in the holiday draw - anybody need this game? Would be willing to trade it for just about anything - HL2 Deathmach would make me very happy...

    Looks like CS:S is finally down to $4.99 again. Well, that's the last game I want for the Mac and don't have besides Trine 2. Good stuff.

    Right behind you.
    Some thing useful I found for Mac Steam users, if you're like me and some of your steam games have the exact same icon as the steam app itself, I found a way to change it to the actual icon.

    Navigate to your steamapps folder "Username/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/"

    Here will be all the files for your games, just open the folder, secondary-click>Show Package Contents on the "gamename.app" application with the desired icon, copy the "iconname.incs" file, and paste it into the shortcut's "Resources" folder (secondary-click>show package contents, again), delete the old "shortcut.icns" and rename it "shortcut.incs".

    :D

    Awesome. I always thought it was because I had downloaded the games incorrectly. Have quite a few of them with the Steam icon. Thanks.

    Does anyone know how to get online working for CS:S on the Mac? When I click "Find Servers," nothing pops up. I can only host local games too.

    Edit: Wow, it fixed itself as soon as I posted this. Been trying to get it to work for over 30 minutes. Now the server count is over 15,000 and still going up rapidly, lol. Alrighty then.

    This looks actually pretty awesome. All Steam needs is chat logging now to be taken seriously as a messenger. :x
