 | I like to play half-life. Do I really have to buy the orange box only to get episode 2? Help? I already have
 half-life and episode 1

 | I bought it mainly for ep 1 and 2. but I think the box itself is worth it just for Team Fortress. it's r-a-d!

 | I tried pre-ordering this on steam 5 times now. The link to purchase doesn't work for any game in steam since I bought
 Bioshock. I'm not exactly sure what's going on. Anyone else
 ever had this problem?

 | yeah, bioshock worked fine, but now no matter what game I try to buy in steam, it won't work. This is after at least
 one, possibly 2 updates of the software, which I thought
 would fix the problem.

 | yeah, but to be fair to Valve, they were going to release both the orange box and the black box (just EP2, Portal, and
 TF2), but all the big retailers forced them to pick one or
 the other, out of fear that consumers would be confused(?)
 and purchase the wrong one.... To me that is a ludicrous
 notion, but oh well.

 I just hl2 yesterday and am playing for the first time.
 
 That cargo train in the screen shit has an easter egg of
 some poster on the side when you are looking at it from
 under water right? I was swimming up to it and noticed that
 when I got out the poster disappears.
 And when you are looking at it in the water and zoom in it
 disappears? What is it?

 | I'm not sure if this is true, but there's a rumor going around that they will be releasing Portal, TF2, and EP2 all
 separately after the initial release of the orange box. So,
 if you just want, say, EP2, you'll be able to get it for
 $20. Supposedly.

 i don't need to buy Half-Life 2, or EP1 again

 | I think you'll save money buying the whole orange box as opposed to EP2, Portal and TF2 separated.
 
 + if you have some of the games from before you can choose
 to give them to another Steam account, if you feel like it.
