i pre-ordered last week. I was initially annoyed at the whole half life 2 and episode one inclusion thing - but as pointed out - you are getting them for free rather than paying for them.

I think play has episode 2 alone costing the same price as the orange box.

But i am really looking forward to playing episode 2 and am intrigued by portal and Peggle Extreme got me addicted to Peggle

I'm not paying an extra $15 for Portal and TF2. I'm not interested in anyone saying omg portal is worth it alone, I just don't want it. I just want Episode 2 on its own.

You'll be able to get individual games sometime after the launch.

Yeah I know, but it sucks having to wait. Basically inflating sales of Portal and TF2.

Thanks I forgot about this :thup:

Got the orange box off Steam, I'd only got HL2 (didn't bother with episode 1 when it was released) and I can gift that to someone else it seems.

Most excited about Portal and TF2, much more than Episode 2.

Never had a problem with Steam here though, find it pretty good.

Well it's out. Going to play Portal first.
Though it's been stuck at 55% decrypting for about 5 mins.

Dammit, I'm stuck in work till four, today is gonna go so slow. I also can't whether to play Portal or EP2 first.

Valve also released a meet the Demo Man trailer last night, they have done another masterpiece imo. I really hope they keep doing them for every class and can't wait to see what they do with Pyro.
Meet the Demoman

TF2 is probably the best Multiplayer game ever imo.

Portal is absolutely superb.

Portal is ace. Completly utterly stuck on what (I presume) is the ending. Won't say too much more incase it's a spoiler?
