being in NZ, it's only 4pm.

As I said in another thread regarding Steam 2 Mac, I am more than happy to pay again for Half Life 2!
I have a fundamental problem with re-buying games for other platforms. I don't mind paying a little bit to offset the porting cost, but I don't like having to re-pay for the whole game.
I currently own Orange Box and L4D; is there any way to move these from 360 over to Steam, or do I have to re-buy them if I want them on my Mac?
PST, it's 3 hours away, not 1 hour. Knowing valve, we're more than 20 hours away from the release.
I figured that was the case, but it didn't hurt to ask. I have the original Half-Life on PS2 as well!
I wasn't planning on buying any thing since I already own the orangebox for 360 but you guys have persuaded me. I will pick up at least 1 game today.
If you like TF2 on The Orange Box, the PC (and Mac) version is so much better. It's been updated tons while the 360 version hasn't.
Well, I'm doing my part so far.
Today I bought Torchlight and the LucasArts Adventure Pack. The LucasArts pack was a nice surprise to see on Steam -- Loom is a great game. I played the heck out of it on the Amiga when I was a kid.
Of course I'm also downloading the free copy of Portal.
I'm really looking forward to picking up more of the Valve games as they become available, especially Team Fortress 2 and the Half Life series.

You might try restarting Steam.
TF2 is not available yet on the Mac.
restarted Steam and Torchlight still crashes with a Fatal Error
Steam must be running to play this game (SteamAPI_Init() failed)
was wondering if I'm the only one with the problem. was quite looking forward to playing it.

Currently downloading Portal and Torch Light, looks like I'm not going to get my first taste of Steam Mac gaming till tomorrow
I feel your pain. I have a gma 950 MacBook, it's still under AppleCare, a little less than 3 years old and won't run portal at all.
When I did try to run portal, steam said that I needed to update the drivers, and reports I am running windows 0!
The box that came up had an option to run anyway, did it not give you that option?
Portal runs great for me with max settings and 4X antialiasing.
My Macbook is about six months old...

Torchlight runs fine on my Mac Mini, and I've been loving it. Waiting to see what else will run on the Mini.
I can't wait to see CS:S DOD:S and TF2.
I really want to see Modern warfare 2 ported over as well... But I'm not convinced that will happen.

I'd like to see Modern Warfare 2 ported over as well! That's pretty much my only concern right now. However they should code it so well that it doesn't need superior hardware.
That'd be good. My brother in law runs it on a 1.86c2d/2gb ram/7600GT PC quite comfortably with the settings down low.
That should cover plenty of Mac users if they were to get an OSX version running similarly.
It's definitely fun. Considering it's free and you can probably finish within a day, you should play it.
CS:S is probably going to be available when they finishing porting it to the new source engine, they are in beta right now for windows.
sounds great also had a questions...what portable mouse are you MBP (notebook/laptop) users using? Im thinking of getting a Razer Orochi but would apperciate your inputs since everyone on this thread will be playing similar source games like me...
