Thanks @Pact for showing me this link www.pcgamer.com/... earlier today. Looks like Valve will be giving us all a free game to play and it looks pretty good. check it out.
Now imagine the slow downloads we'll all have the first day it comes out because everyone is trying to download it at the same time.

Anyone else find their GPU/CPU temps rising through the roof when playing this?

I was playing this for little more than half an hour last night before I noticed. :S

I read on the steam forums, quite a few people were getting high temps. There doesn't seem to be a link between the sufferers though. One of those things :O

Damn, might need to have a geez at those forums to see if there is a fix yet.

Updates to Alien Swarm have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:
Alien Swarm
Fixed crash to desktop on certain graphics cards
Maybe you could play it?

My computer is old Inspiron from '05.

Lol. It runs pretty well, even though with some audio stutter. But then when the Portal opens in the beginning of the game, it crashes.

I just had my first play of this game last night and I kinda like it, takes a while to get used to the controls and you really need to work together as a team to succeed. Very good for a free game.

I love the little hacking mini-games as a tech, great fun.

Just had some nice games with Sacred.

We should organise some games tonight, maybe use the mumble server and get some teamwork going, nothing says cooperation like friendly fire.
