@Bennal: So... You're saying you, in your room, playing a game, have better stats than Valve Software has for their own platform?

@xilefian: Although. It'd be perfectly OK if you wanted to hug a Mac user.

I'd rather have rock-solid stability and more than adequate framerates for now (and obviously, improved performance as Valve & Apple iteratively improve their engine and drivers).

@InsanityUK: It doesn't matter, since Valve's numbers are OS vs OS comparisons. It's part of the overall package of benefits. Err, "benefits".

@omgwtflolbbqbye: Tho, if centered squarely in the forehead and kept in, it'd make a sprinting victim more aerodynamic!

From Valve's Steam Newsfeed:

@iGoldman: Ingrate. :P

@Stephen James Nesbit: Nicely written, with a fair give-and-take between the two platforms.

@NassaDane: Get thee to Netflix.

What, no "Scream like a pig! Scream like a piggie!"?

I'm shocked that top-tier players would take a fall for so little money. I'd think that the risk of exposure and the loss of future earnings from losing earlier in your career (short as it is already) would translate to a figure more than US$2-6,000.

Darn.

I'm confused. Is Elven/Human male/male (or female/female) - err - couplings part of the inter-species continuum or the gay one?

Technically, Jimmy's boy-on-boy macking up (wait: British, so "snogging"?) is a mandatory element of graduating from boarding schools, I've heard.

@battlescarSS: Common Ignorance: Nice tip. But I think the latest Portal update (this morning's) fixed this.

@PanifexMaximus: Auctioning off grades to lazy students might provide unexpected revenues!

@marcisliepa: Even better was how they sold it for $2.50. Until a drunken Valve employee "raided" the store and changed the price to $2.49. (bast*rds!). Then they were "caught" and the price "restored" to $2.50.

@stone500: Clearly you have no grasp of schoolyard drug-dealing economics.

@William Henry Harrison: But I notice you still lack the Goo tattoo, the Goo nightlight, the Goo athletic supporter (eww!) and, of course, the Goo baby formula.

They should celebrate the occassion by adding Penguin hats!
