Started a Techgage Steam group

Rob Williams · 05-15-2012, 10:28 PM

I have been meaning to start up a Steam group for the site for quite a while, but tonight I bit the bullet (whatever that means) and did it. I welcome everyone to join. I am not sure where it will go, or what ultimate plans I have for it, but who knows... it could be a lot of fun!

Damn I forgot me password, lol! Will reset and join asap!

Rob Williams · 05-20-2012, 04:56 PM

Thanks a lot for joining, guys! We're getting up there, slowly but surely.

Rob Williams · 05-26-2012, 01:58 PM

Tell your friends! We need more members

And if anyone has any fun ideas of what we should do with the group, I'm all ears.

OriginalJoeCool · 05-27-2012, 04:50 PM

Team Fortress 2 group?

Need for Speed?

Test Drive Unlimited 2? (although that game won't go online for me)

Rob Williams · 05-28-2012, 01:58 PM

I've thought that some sort of contest would be cool to hold down the line, but I am not sure how many people would actually notice it. Steam Groups are not like Facebook Groups, where everyone sees the update in their feed (as far as I'm aware). I almost think Valve should improve the groups to actually make them a little more useful, and not just for aesthetics.

Kayden · 05-28-2012, 02:16 PM

You should make a FB and G+ group to get the word out about events and stuff, then say they would only be eligible if they are apart of the steam group and one of the social media places. just a thought.

Rob Williams · 05-28-2012, 02:56 PM

Yes, I've been meaning to. I just hate both Facebook and G+ so much. SO MUCH.

Optix · 05-31-2012, 12:58 AM

Come kill me in Battlefield Bad Company 2!

Rob Williams · 06-10-2012, 08:57 PM

Are you getting into BF3? Or prefer BC2?

Optix · 06-11-2012, 10:45 PM

Finding it hard to get into BF3 sadly but I'm still working through it. I blame the shitty starting load outs.

OriginalJoeCool · 09-02-2012, 04:37 PM

Anyone want to play Borderlands Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot co-op? It's pretty much impossible to beat solo.

Optix · 09-03-2012, 01:09 PM

Tell me about it. I'm in.

I might be free from 10pm up to midnight when I need to start working. Hopefully I'll be free from 2am onward if everything goes ok and anybody else is still awake.
