I might try that demo out as long as it's free and all, although i'm not sure about your first point kupoartist, my sister has the Sims 2 and i'v only ever played it once, the reason for that being everything moves infuriatingly slow, it takes about half an hour to load most things, it jumps about, even when you've finished playing the computer continues to move the pace of a snail, and that only time i played it it gave me such a headache (brought on for the above reasons) i could only play it for half an hour. And i'm guessing this is to do with it's system requirements

Completely free. The only payment involved on Steam is that you can choose to buy the games on it rather than from a shop (though you don't get a box or CD, which is pretty much a negative). No monthly fees.

If it has trouble playing the Sims 2, it is quite likely that you'll have trouble with HL2 (nice example screenie). That said, it's always worth trying these the demo out to give yourself an idea of how / if it'll run. Remember, that if you get bad performance, you should have the settings as low as possible... if you can cope with how much more ugly it is...

I started playing Pokemon Emerald today. It's pretty boring but I got my Pokemon over level 50 (all 18 of them XD).

For Half-Life 2? There's no subscription fee, just the one off for buying the game (there's 3 seperate pricing schemes as well, depending on how much extra stuff you want with HL2).

STEAM is mainly an attempt to move away from a publisher based method of selling, allowing the creators to keep a larger share of the profits and cut out the middle man. While I'll admit that it's had its problems, I have to say I'm all for it. They just need to refine the system a bit more. By now, buying HL2 over STEAM is pretty solid, they've ironed out any major kinks. You can still buy Half-Life 2 in stores, but it won't be playable until you go online and register with Steam's central database (and IIRC, there might be some unlocking to do as well). After that you should be OK to go.

Basically you install STEAM, and use this to download and purchase the version of HL2 which you're after (IIRC, most people go for the silver pack). Once you've registered with steam and downloaded the game, you can configure it so that you don't need to log into steam anymore to play the singleplayer game. Every time you use it online though (to play Counter Strike for example), the game checks your copy against the STEAM database to make sure it's legit.

i play second life and you have to dl the game from there website. you cant buy it from shops. Some people dont like buying games like this as they only have 56k ot a slow connection but with second life you have to have good conntion the play it well anyway so it works good for the game.

I somehow came across this game called the showergel game at the axeeffect.com site. Basically you got a hot chick downstairs and you've got to clear your bathroom of incriminating evidence of other women before she comes up so that you can jump in the shower together. Rather simple game but hey it's not everyday you've got a hot lady asking you to jump into the shower with her.

It was always almost impossible for me to study for exams, it's just impossible to keep my mind on such a boring task, i would always find something nice a distracting to take my mind of it :lol:

As someone who has already taken GCSE's i suppose i should encourage you to revise, but i'm not sure if i revised a single bit for my GCSE's, my brain would always fall to sleep and my eyes would begin to blur if i tried it, so it didn't really do anything anyway
