well im just getting back into video games again. and in 2001 i bought a pack of half life games. As all of you probably know, most games computer games now come with a Cdkey that identifies each game and makes sure to stop piracy, duplication, etc.


and all of these games worked and i had all of their cd keys in a box in my drawer, safely tucked away. and now i just installed Steam, a program required to play all half life games now. but all of my Old Cd keys are already in use!!!!!!

grr, makes me so angry. i paid for the stupid things, and if i want them back i have to pay $10, mail them to valve, and then wait 2 months and i will have them back. very annoying.

so i might just go and buy the games off steam, $60 for every half life game out there which is somewhat of a deal.
