PSA: Steam down for a few hours this Thursday photo

Hope you didn't have any big Thursday night Team Fortress plans.

Valve has announced that it will be performing software maintenance on "some Steam servers" this Thursday, February 4. It begins at 6:00pm Pacific with an end "window" of at 9:00pm Pacific. Here's what's affected: Steam Community; in-game matchmaking and lobbies; downloading games; and making purchases.

So you've got a few options -- step away from the computer for a bit, or play one of your Steam games offline. Or take a three hour nap.

I want to take this opportunity to enthusiastically recommend Titan Quest: Gold Edition (which includes the equally fun expansion), which is on sale on Steam for $5. If you are at all a fan of Diablo or Torchlight, you will enjoy this game very much.

I know someone has already mentioned it, but I wanted to make it clear.

Is titan quest really worth it? I own both torchlight and diablo 1 and 2. Is it substantially different to be worthy of a purchase?

O hai guys, I heard Titan Quest was a good game, but can someone please tell me how much it costs? I can't seem to find that information anywhere.

As long as The Witcher is downloaded by then, I don't mind.

Or I could play Civ4, but I suspect that may envelop my whole day.

Steam has really been sucking lately for staying stable. Sometimes I get knocked off for no reason, and I'm not alone. I hope this is going to either fix that or at least keep it from not being so unstable or whatever. =\

Ugh, yeah, hopefully they're fixing up all the problems with disconnects from the item servers on TF2 with this...
