Thanks KaotiK, but as far as i know you need to be online to be able to be offline right?

Or you can have steam turn on IN offline mode?
If Steam was exited in Offline mode, when you start it up again it will ask if you want to go online or stay offline.

I've noticed that if I start a download on Steam on one PC, then sign in on another, even though the first Steam gets logged out, it continues downloading what it was working on. I've only tried this once though, so that might not be the case anymore.

Bought two games: Dead Island (played some yesterday and liked it quite a bit) and To The Moon which is awesome, just need to sit down and focus on it (was a little tipsy when I tried it out).

Worked out well for me. We shall see what the holiday sale brings! :D

Yeah I have to say Dead Island is quite fun with a group. I had my doubts because I remember a lot of talk of bugs when it first launched, but it seems like they've cleaned it up since then. The gore and melee system makes combat quite visceral.

Yeah, I got sucked into it pretty quickly. The atmosphere and style of it worked quite well so far. The fist time the Infected (not the Walkers) showed up it scared the crap out of me. :D

This is one of the good things about not buying something at release; time to sort out any issues.
