Since the introduction of Valve’s online software distribution system in 2007 Steam has become the ubiquitous source for games in the PC market. It could be argued that Steam has removed the need for physical media altogether. Games initially purchased for your PC can now be installed (where available) on your mac without a second purchase. Your key setting and game saves are synced in the cloud ready and waiting [...]

We have been flooded with items in TF2 promoting a new pre-release on steam. Actually, when I say flooded what I really mean is we’ve got three of them. Two helmets and a badge are available in genuine quality if you wish to pre-order the upcoming RPG Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. The TF2Maps.net item we mentioned last week has finally been placed into the game. The Mappers Medallion is now [...]

The Magnificent 2012 Lo-Fi Give-away ended right before this week’s show was recorded so we were all still glowing with internal philanthpist light. That was until we discovered exactly how many Saxton gifts our player of the week had given out. For the record, it is a long way over 9000! The good news for those seeking to wear shorts or thongs is that Valve has decided that winter is [...]

Congratulations, we have been awarded additional June 1968! Hold on . . . we’ve just been awarded June 1968 again? Wasn’t last month also June 1968? Thus continues the unbroken series of June 1968s that began long ago in mid-September 2007. Team Fortress time never changes. The spawn room calendars, as the Sandvich must constantly remind the Heavy, contain neither spies nor lies. The ongoing June 1968 overtime simply keeps [...]

There was a second update before christmas we didn’t get a chance to examine last time. So we take the time now to chat about Saxton’s Own Spirit of Giving and how special it is to us [edit: and [...]
