I've had a Steam account for some time now. I'm sure you can guess my
user name. (Or you could just click the link, I suppose.) I first signed up last year to take advantage of the free Portal offer, now long defunct, of course. For several months, I downloaded the occasional free game or demo, so I was unable to add friends directly and didn't really bother. About two months ago, I sprang for the $10 offer on
Plants vs. Zombies. A month later, I handed over another $10 for
Bejeweled Twist. These purchases make me a paid member, so I can add friends now. If anyone else is on Steam, please feel free to add me, although I rarely play competitive games.
Today, I bought another game. I dug deep and coughed up $1.75 for
Tropico Reloaded. Oooo! Maybe I'll go as high as $12 for my next game.
