I do, not as much anymore though.

Hows the community like on steam? Is it a user friendly or mean place?
I literally played through the entirety of Portal 2's co-op campaign with random strangers on Steam and had a great time. Everyone was wonderful.
That's good to hear.
BlacklLight just got finish downloading now the game is patching. Its been such along process trying to play this game. Btw.. I'm trying to add people to my friends list but its not working. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

@falserelic What is the issue your having?
I got two problems. The game blacklight won't startup on my pc. Everytime I click play it doesn't start the game, and I can't seem to add people to my friends list. It says that I need to have a game on my account in order to add people.
I played team fortress 2 and apb. I got my ass handed to me badly in team fortress 2. Its taking me sometime to get use to everything. I had played team fortress 2 on the 360 once but the pc version is much better. As for apb I still havent really got into it. I was on a match and I didn't know what to do. I shot a random dude and Ran around the city then got kicked out of the game. Also I still can't add people to my friends list for some reason.
Overall I'm still getting use to steam trying to figure out everything. I notice I can record vids which is cool.
I don't know about using steam. It seems like a good service but kind of a hassle to play games. Some of the games I downloaded don't want to work or function properly. I'm not a computer expert so I don't really know what to do. My computer is a windows 7 premium. I figure it can run most of the games. But I'll keep using steam for alittle while longer.

You can usually find fixes in the forums. 90% of the time, someone has already had the same problem and figured out what to do. Some fixes are easy, some aren't. It can be a bit frustrating at first, but the benefits(mainly sales), make it worthwhile.
Oh, and obviously, I use Steam, as well.

Its like everywhere ... some cool people some not so cool people ... I got most of the people in my friendlist from TF2 and some of them have become good (internet)friends over time.
And if you are checking out free games try Super Monday Night Combat. It's a dota-style game so by default the community is terrible, but it's a fun game.
