But, the most interesting part...

So...
I'm broke and I definitely don't plan on buying this. The only Valve game I have is HL2. But I've been interested in playing Portal and perhaps HL2 Episodes 1 & 2.
So if there is anybody getting this & ending up with duplicate copies of games, you can always donate to me :D My steam account name is "indstr"

I mentioned this over in the L4D thread
and the great bargain deals thread. I guess I should've just made a thread out of it.

Quite possibly the best deal I've ever seen. You get Valve's entire back catalogue- all Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, and Miscellanea- for $135 less than you would if you bought them all individually.
I recognize that to someone like me who already has most of these games this is useless (I think the only ones I don't have are L4D and HL Source)- it's like the Opeth boxed set, if you're an Opeth fan you're going to have all the albums already! But to someone who's never played a Valve game before, or like only bought Half-Life 1 to play Counterstrike, or if you're one of
my friends who thinks their 3-year-old PC can't run a game from ten years ago (I have more of those than you'd think), or if you only own like the 360 version of the Orange Box and was looking to graduate to PC, this is a damned good deal.

If someone wants to send me a copy of Portal or Episode 2, or TF2, I'd be eternally grateful.
Actually, I don't even own HL1 so I'd accept that too! (that's right, I played it through PIRACY!)
My Xbox copy of Orange Box was ruined when one of my little cousins stepped on it.

Yes, let's but the same games third time.
And people say Blizzard is a moneygobbler.

There aren't enough airplanes in the world for that comment.

Good for Valve if Koki believes that a gun is being held to his head, forcing him into purchasing the bundle. Fools need to make mistakes, otherwise they'll never learn.

I never bought a Valve game, incidentally.

That makes your comment seem pretty strange, to be honest.

It seems pretty stupid out of context as well.
