        I remember downloading it bundled with CS 1.6 - with the download being behind a queing system, so the servers weren’t overloaded.

        was in the queue for a day and the download took over night

          we old lol.

          I probably have 500+ hours in Counter Strike Source and about the same in Day of Defeat Source, (edit def add cs1.6 and original dod to those numbers) from 2003-2005. All before steam kept track of play time. So many games (including HL2!) show “no recorded activity”. It really irks me but it’s also kind of funny. Took a near total break from gaming until about 2015. Didn’t get a decent PC until 2020. I Was surprised I even remembered my steam login.

      Originally played on orange box on the 360, I’m surprised I didn’t already have it on steam. Glad I stumbled on this post

      I remember registering my CD key of HL1 on Steam and was surprised when they gave me the expansions for free. Cool, because I didn’t have them.

      I remember buying The Orange Box on Steam. I remember it because Steam gave me a warning because I already had Portal - it was free at some point. Was a bit miffed when TF2 went free to play later on.

      And I somehow still haven’t played HL2 on Steam, I think? I played it about 1/3 way on Xbox 360. Played the shit out of Portal on 360 though.

      Well, they implemented some graphical improvements and options, as well as workshop mod support so now would be a good time for a replay.
