F1 2010 50% off this weekend at Steam
 

This is weird! I was just reading a review of my soundcard in the
latest PC Gamer and it mentioned how great F1 2010 sounds with it. So,
I go searching for it at Amazon (not sold directly by them and a
little pricey for an oldish game), nothing at GoGamer, nothing in
Google. So I thought I'd check Steam. And the third (?) game came up
was F1 2010 50% off weekend special for $20.

I am downloading it now. I will dust off my old Logitech wheel for
this one.

Weird. I just scanned my PC for tracking cookies and there weren't
any. Hmmmm...

Why are the STEAM servers so darn slow? Ridiculous! I feel like I am
using a 24K modem!

I read the size of the download incorrectly. Oops.

24k Modem... nice. I used to dream of owning one of those back in the
day. ;-)

Waste of my time and money. What BS this game is! It is so
mainstream and Hollywood that I didn't have the patience to even start
a race.

Pick a name and all that other crap.

$20 down the drain. I won't even think about continuing. As bad as
NFS, Test Drive Unlimited,....

Garbage. I just want to race.

Hah! I loved that game. I finished it. I also have it on my iPod
Touch. One of the most addicting games I've played in a long time.

However, I never could figure out if there was any strategy to Peggle.

Thanks for saving me 50 bucks on Cliffs' of Dover. Maybe I will get
Rise of Flight instead. I love the IL-2 stuff though.
