I remember last year during Black Friday sales, like 5 people were trampled, and 15 people were sent to the hospital

@Eeems: Ah ok I thought you would still have an idea based on how empty shelves were when you arrived and how much stock got out of the backstore or something Here the Rona store was unusually quiet during the Christmas rush, while every other store were extremely busy.

@saintrunner: Yeah I remember that. Over Canada we have Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) instead of Black Friday and it's pretty insane too, so I usually be careful when I go shopping then. Usually, however, electronic stores limits the amount of people that can get in the store at once so you have to wait outside in line for about 15-30 minutes, and there are security guards in case the crowd needs to be controlled. Stuff can still happen sometimes, like in Winnipeg for example there was a pepper spray attack.

@Back-on-topic: THe other week I bought Duke Nukem forever for like $6 on Steam, but I didn't like it much for some reasons. It seemed like the old one was better. However if anyone play that game online I guess we can play eventually.

I should really install Portal 2 at one point. I just waited before downloading it to not exceed my bandwidth cap too much.

Builderboy, a friend of his and I played some Left for Dead 2 today I was the only one not to make it

That was lots of fun!  We should do it again soon Later after you left, my friend left me and the two other computers to die But then I did the same to him!

My bro got Portal 2 for PS3 and it comes with a key for the PC version on Steam so we can play multiplayer together

[DJ Omnimaga]

That's great, so two copies for the price of one? Also it's great it's possible to play accross systems. I was sure if you had the Xbox version you couldn't play with PC users, for example.

I can never tell because for all we know, the shelves could have already been empty because we didn't have anything to stock it with for a couple weeks.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Ah ok X.x

(In any case I hope you keep a good enough amount of work hours, though)

[Eeems]

When I go to days I'll be either 32 or 40 hours a week. It depends on the week.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Ah ok. Well at least it's better than 0

[Eeems]

A lot better lol. I'm still full time
Btw, one more shift to go :O

[BlakPilar]

Does anyone have Borderlands?

EDIT: If my friend got it for the PS3, we could play it together right?

[Eeems]

I'm pretty sure you can't play borderlands on two different types consoles together ( ie: ps3-xbox 360 or ps3-pc or pc-xbox 360 ).
You would both have to have it for the same type of console for it's multiplayer to work. I'm no expert though so I would advice googling it to see if people have made it work or not.

[BlakPilar]

Ahh, okay. So the Steam <-> PS3 thing is only for Valve games? Or just non-existent?

[Eeems]

I'm pretty sure it's non-existant.

EDIT: Actually Portal2 has cross platform multiplayer I think. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/18/portal-2-on-ps3-features-cross-platform-chat-multiplayer-and-a/

[Juju]

I confirm. Portal 2 have cross-platform multiplayer. I played with my bro who was on his PS3 the other day.

I guess Valve will explore this feature further in their future releases.
