Dear Steam...

Why is it so easy for you to remember my credit card information, but when it comes to viewing videos you all of a sudden forget how fucking old I am?

Valve's head honcho Gabe Newell revealed in an odds-defying statement today that 93% of Steam users were born on January 1st.

"It's something that's been really bothering us for awhile," a visibly befuddled Newell told The Noble Eskimo. "The odds of this happening are even less than a billion-to-one. In fact, this is without a doubt the least likely thing that has ever happened on this planet. 93% of our more-than 30 million users were born on January 1st. It's incredible."

Crunching the numbers reveals approximately 27,900,000 of its users share the same New Year's birthday.

Digging a little deeper yields more interesting results. Of the estimated 6.9 billion people on the planet (source: United States Census Bureau), and under the assumption that each day of the year has the same number of birthdays amongst the population, there should be 18,904,110 people sharing birthdays on each calendar date. This is 16,114,110 fewer people than there are Steam users with January 1st birthdays. So what accounts for the disproportionate number of January 1st births?

"It's hard to say exactly why so many babies are born on New Year's as opposed to other days of the year," Newell ponders. "There are many theories floating around the Valve offices, and we have even hired some outside help to determine what the causes are. They've been working diligently for a couple years now, and though they have yet to discover anything conclusive, I remain confident they will find something soon."

age gates are put in place for liability purposes, shifts the blame from Steam onto the lying 12 year old in case sensi-mom or sensi-dad get offended by the things their kids are looking at on the baby sitter-computron

Dear Steam:

Stop making your huge events just when my house decides to do a huge cleanup, painting the walls and changing the carpet. I have to unplug my PC for weeks when this happens, and i already missed the last Halloween event and you're making me lose the Summer sale.

Thanks, you cunts

i just couldnt get into NV  :/
i installed it, watched the little intro vid  ... walked around the starter town .. saw a lot of brown .. and the only thought i had was
"why do i give  shit about these people?"
a real lack of identification with the protagonist , or even empathy for the people stymied my enthusiasm for playing the game.

Weird. Maybe you ought to try some of the mods to help your gameplay experience? Once the powder gangers come around the game starts getting real good.

I really liked it, once you get past the tutorial stuff it gets really good.

And this coming from a rabid fan of the old games who hated 3

Oh it makes you feel guilty for not logging into steam more?
It requires you to be signed in ALL THE TIME to fulfill your social obligations?
From gaben's perspective, that's a positive feature.

not sure how mods would affect my apathy for the people in nevada

@caff: games shouldnt get good they should be good

cynicism aside thanks for trying to get me interested

are you sure rpg is the right genre for you, because if you can't give a single player rpg just a little bit of time...

have you given a shit about any of the people in a generic starter town before?

what single player rpgs have you enjoyed before?
