Steam IS coming to OS X

In fairness they've always been dog-slow at releasing their own games. I remember a time when the episodic chapters for HL2 were supposed to come out annually :p. I feel sorry for those who have never played these games, and are coming to this on a Mac.

I do agree that 10.6.4 will help in a massive way.
 
You can change the mouse speed (at least my bluetooth one when its connected i think) so it shouldnt be too difficult to make it right... (then again i had no problems with portal on my track pad on the mbp)
 
So iv just given HL2 a bash on mac for the first time! Got to say its cool to have and the updates do make it look better (and sound but im not sure if thats the speakers or just rose tinted glasses).

Got one slightly weird issue though, when you strafe left or right and look with the mouse theres a lot of motion blur making it weird to effectively shoot and strafe... Is anyone else having this?

At risk of sounding sarcastic, tried turning the motion blur off? :D

Anyone else able to see lights through walls and NPCs? Playing Ep1 last night, and in the core you can see all sorts of lights shining through Alyx and stalkers etc..
 
They've put the Orange box on sale - with 'coming soon' on TF2. Was hoping to play this whilst im off work :/
 
Magic 8-ball app says... "Not today sunshine", don't think we're getting anything this week which probably means we'll get a lame apology and something half decent next week.

They must have some real problems with the network code segment of Source...
 
Just had a Steam client update. This (I believe) fixes some issues with the store side of the application, which I was having (buttons not working, rollovers and cursors).

edit- here we are!

A Steam client update is now available. To apply the update, click the File menu inside of Steam and then select "Check for Steam Client Updates...". The specific changes include:

Fixed memory leak when resizing in-game overlay web browser
