Bah, seems to be more of an update to download, shouldn't have been doing some L4D2 before now.  Another half hour.

The game is unpacking the preload. Which since it's like 20 gigs, is a lot of not playing.

Kinda crazy though we're all sitting here while all our Steam accounts do the exact same thing, when you think about it. FWIW I already saw one friend sign in.

Because we're all doing it at the same time.

If it makes you feel any better, some of the commenters on the steam had 20-30 minutes.

All excited that I'd get to finally play it, then find out my download is corrupt. Man...

Edit : Verified with steam, checked out right. Still can't launch due to corrupt data. Guess I'll be redownloading while you all have fun :(

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

I'm low on disk space and didn't realize the preload was going to unpack several gigs worth. So I decided to try and uninstall a game while Steam was doing stuff.

Not smart man, not smart.

I'm getting the physical box version, so it won't show up until tomorrow. But it should be there by the time I get home. Really looking forward to it!

I'm going to do Classic Ironman to start. I'll probably lose, but it should be fun.

I think I'll go with colored teams. Grey for Urban, Green for UFO recovery. Not sure about the others yet, but I'll come up with something.
