Steam Era

Worth a thread of it's own I reckon.
A few things I've noticed:
* People with mics can chat to anyone and everyone. I'm finding it a little irritating because they ones doing it are mostly foul-mouthed morons. Thankfully it turns off when the count-down starts otherwise I'd be playing without sound.
* There are some good-mannered native 'Steamies' joining games now and saying things like 'well played sir!' and "are you having a pleasant evening Mr Square?'. I feel a bit sorry for them with the arrival of the QuakeLive community. I don't think they will be used to the generally obnoxious and thoughtless behaviour that generally characterises a Quake player lol.
* The QL graphics interface is much better in terms of looks and function (for e.g. you can see other players game settings when you spec them - fricken cool like lasers that is - though at this stage it looks like you can't see who you are speccing. Perhaps that's a bug?)
* Voice comms is integrated .. nice.
+ I miss my friends list. Friend me up homies!! I don't know most of your Steam names. So far I just have Ink, Snow and Cite. Some guy called KnT| Sadi5tiK has sent me a request. if that's one of you, sorry I didn't accept it for reasons I hope are obvious
