Just the account but you can't have an account running on more than oneÂ machineÂ at a time.... I think.

Kow

The account. You can have the same games on multiple pcs if you have the account on them.

metagonzo

I stands all corrected like.

Kow

Not quite. I'm not sure if you can have them running at the same time, or at least playing the same game. I doubt it would allow you to play multiplayer with 8 people on the same account.

Bollockoff

Looking at my times. I'm next off on saturday annoyingly. Unless people are fine with a session just after 10pm.

Now that you mention it I seem to remember it making me do an e-mailÂ referral when I moved machines. Maybe you can download the files onto as many machines as you like but only run them onÂ the currently activated one.

Too lazy to look this up - when you buy a Steam game is it tied to the account or the account+PC?

Just the account.

humantarget

If you sign into Steam, whilst it being logged in on another PC then it either doesn't let you or it logs the other person out.

No, I definitely have games running on multiple machines with no problems or email hassle. I've never had them running at the same time, though.

I'm free ALL the time at the moment, so whenever is good for me.

Tempy? Reg?

Not having much luck finding you under thehumantarget; are you sure that's right? (seems a silly question, I know). Maybe try adding me. Needless to say, you're most welcome to it. Edit: Finding a good few humantarget references; sure one of them isn't you?

Ahem

Standing corrected twice in one day? Bad scene.

The email thing you have to do to get the code is called steam guard. It's a security feature to make sure no one gets access to your accouint even if they somehow manage to get your password. You can turn it off in steam options so you can sign in by simply entering your details.

It's possible to run more than one game from the same account by signing in on one computer in offline mode. No mp of course and technically against the Steam TOS.

P.S. Im up for a game of L4D2 some time.

handsofblue

Oooh, I don't play MP very often and would love to do so more. Would be especially brilliant if I played with people who wouldn't hate me for being a bit on the shite side. If you want to get shot in the back of the head, I'm your girl! My steam is the same as my username ... I think.

Excellent. I've added you now.

If anyone ever fancies a game of L4D2 and I'm on Steam then 99% of the time I'll be up for it.

handsofblue

Awesomeness.

Tempy

Me too, get Andy to tweet me and I can usually bring myself to my PC.

humantarget

So when is best for everyone?

Tempy

After 20:00, before 00:00

I can do those times tomorrow. Already said i'd play BF3 tonight and have a friend visiting on friday for the weekend.

humantarget

I'm the opposite, haha. I can do tonight, Friday and the weekend, but not tomorrow as I'm in Manchester.

Bollockoff

Try and add me human. As I can't seem to pinpoint exactly which human target you are. Seems to be a popular fad.

I'm free from half ten tomorrow ish or all night saturday. Bringeth it orn.

Kow

FEAR 3 for 8â‚¬ on Steam. Anybody know if it's any good?

J1m1

I got it about a year ago for Â£5 on Steam. Â I've play it for about an 2 hours and feel I've had enough.
It's a bit.. meh. Â Not the best of the series, in my opinion.

It's not even been out a year, haha.

Bollockoff

Still yet to play the second. And also hurry up with another Skyrim sale, Steam.

Kow

8â‚¬ isn't much, I suppose. But I'm not convinced.

Only just seen this. For some reason I appear to not show up in any searches even when I search myself $:\$ You are already on my Steam though from when we played TF2 with Tempy and Reg. Screen name is Big Tuna on Steam.

Bollockoff

Ah, of course. Sorry I didn't realise.

Howdy, Stranger!
