^Thanks Grim! Haven't got the verification email yet with code...crossing fingers that you were right about getting both Mac and PC codes.

I got my email right away and it even had a link on the purchase screen to see it immediately.

^You are so mature steve. *hrmph* Hold back on DLC?? Inconceivable.

Grim you are making me feel bad about myself...I must not be doing this fast enough ;)

The Empire Total War mod I was playing is now in the recycle can. I will be firing up an English campaign of Civ V tomorrow as my break-in campaign. Then, onto the steampunk deliciousness.

Mine is downloading as I type....when you register it in steam, during the activation it says "mac" but is installing fine..it lists under the DLC for Civ 5 so looking good...I have a slow internet connection, so will be awhile before completely done for me:(

Just in the description during the activation process...doesn't say it anywhere else. Here is the link to the steam forums where it works for everyone...I think we are fine:)

U still haven't received email? If not, on that page link I sent, look at the top and there is a tab for receipts. Should see your invoice with the steam code.

^No I did, and activated it already. Almost done downloading the core game. Then I'll move on the the expansion. Also got some weird Civ SDK thing...and in the DLC box it indicates 'ValveTestApp' with a number. Anyone know what that is?

BWAHAHAHA! He broke!

I would wait on the DLC, Gus. We're probably only a week or two away from Steam's summer sale.

^Fine. FINE.

Weirdness: I can't seem to create a desktop shortcut...

Well, since you're dead set on spending money, I GUESS I'll let you buy me a bunch of games. 8)

I know, I know, I just keep on giving. No need to thank me. ;D

I'm thinking if Gus gets everything loaded, we may not hear from him in weeks. Hopefully he has stocked up on beef jerky, beer and depends :P

Gusington · June 21, 2012, 09:25:20 PM

Depends are for the week. I got me a nice supply of old wooden catheters.

Everything is loaded...fired it up just to see the opening cinematic. Impressive.

Are there tutorials? Have to get up in 5 hours so I can't play right now but tomorrow...oh yes.

Sonofa...

Now *I'm* suddenly wanting to get this game -- a STEAM game, for cryin' out loud! What the hell did you guys do to me??

Tom Chick thinks "Gods & Kings adds gods and spies instead of fixing Civilization V."

As for what the guys did to you, don't feel bad--I bit the bullet when Warlock: Master of the Arcane was released and installed Steam in order to play it. Then I caught Civ5 on sale and bought it also. A bit later it was Magicka and Swords of the Stars II. Tonight I picked up Empire and Napoleon Total War for $8.99 from GamersGate. I still don't like having to use a 3rd party program in order to play a game I purchased. It reminds me of when Windows 95 came out and everyone was pretty much forced to use it instead of DOS.

Back on topic, I do not plan to buy the Gods and Kings expansion for Civ5. I don't hate the game like Tom Chick does, but I don't feel that it is as much fun as previous Civ games. Plus I dislike espionage in the Civ game series.
