Steam
Early in the year I bought a surplus PC from taskboy3000 to help me work on Project X, and we all know how that went. So I ignored it for a while, until long after the bitterness had faded. Last week, following a burst of energy from no particular direction, I shouted "Quick, someone sell me a small desk", and dougo came through. So now I have a nice little begging-your-pardon gaming rig in my office, separate from the console setup in the living room. I like this.
As a result I'm on Steam now, as "zendonut", and feel free to react to this news in any way that makes sense to you. I've been also taking the opportunity to play various little amuse-bouche-sized commercial Windows games that I never quite had the gumption to play via virtualized-Windows on my MacBook, and which Steam makes very easy to find and tempting to purchase. Have gulped down Samorost 2 and Loom (though, yes, the latter, hailing from 1990, could hardly be called a "Windows game"), and next on my inevitable-buy list are Osmos and the locally-grown AaaAAAaaAAAaaAAAAaaA!!!, which is probably the only video game that doesn't care how badly you misspell it, because it's still close enough.
