I dunno, the thing i like about Steam is that games Just Work. You don't need to install anything, crack anything, fix anything, neuter anything. Just buy a game and play it.

And their streaming implementation is great - i can play anything on a simple tablet from anywhere within 20 copper millilightseconds of my place.


Not only that, but the Steam Play thing for cross-platform gaming is getting better in leaps and bounds - I frequently run Windows-only titles in linux and haven't needed to reboot into Windows native for months.

I ask because I have tried 7 or 8 times now to create a Steam account, with no luck. Each and every time I try I am told that the username I have chosen is "Unavailable".

Just pick a username and keep adding nines at the end until it gets accepted. It's what I did...

The start of a brand new adventure awaits you in the latest Below Zero update. Experience an entirely revamped intro cinematic, as you crash land on Planet 4546B with Robin to uncover any clues about her sister, Sam, left behind by Alterra. A reworked Glacial Basin biome also awaits you as you return, as well as the introduction of cold mechanics, and escalating weather conditions.

Just for info its a 3.6GB download on Steam.

I may or may not have logged more than a dozen hours in Below Zero during the weekend. While I really liked the Cyclops in the first game, the Seatruck isn't bad either.
