Accepted the invite.

It's based off of the source engine and if Valve's previous ventures tell us anything I wouldn't be surprised if it was eventually released for Mac, but I haven't read anything official or unofficial on the subject.

Aw man, wish my computer could play it. Looks a lot like Alien Syndrome for the NES, which I spent countless hours on. You guys have fun.

You should. Steam is awesome and Valve is a great company, even if they are a bunch of trolls. Plus, there's a bunch of awesome Steam sales all the time.

You can still add people. I think you just need to set up your Community Profile.

Already sent you an invite, by the way.

Wait do I need to own HL2 or CS:S to get it? I will if not but due to a series of unfortunate events I no longer have those two games on my account, just Portal.

Is a list of games that include the Source SDK. I'm not sure if Alien Swarm will need one of those games to play at the moment though.

EDIT:
Actually Alien Swarm is in that list, so I guess it does include the SDK with it.

Well I'll try to get it, my SteamID is Xanheri (Hackworthy was taken!) and Hackworthy is my community name. No to be confused with my old account: -=[TDR-Y]=-Colonel Hackworthy{TIG}B*
