On November 3rd, Valve software announced that the “Steam Cloud” will be shipped with the release of the Left 4 Dead demo.
The whole story can be found at this link.
What the Steam Cloud seems to boil down to, if you move around from one computer to another, your game settings will travel with you. This sounds like a good idea, but is it really needed? How many people play their games on more then one or two computers?
But then again, lets say the computer is shared between several people - when each person logs into their steam account, their config will download to that system. When the next person logs into their steam account, their config will be downloaded. This sounds like a good idea for places such as a cyber cafe.

From China comes a story of how the police are using Counter-Strike to help train their officers. The whole story can be found at this link.
Quote:
Keyboards ready, headphones on, Chinese police moved in for the kill.
More than 300 police officers in China’s northern port city Tianjin were “mobilized” to an Internet cafe Wednesday for a three-day competition of the terrorism-themed computer game Counter-Strike.
“The competition is organized to sharpen anti-terrorist skills of Tianjin’s police force, as we find the nature of the game very similar to that of our daily practice,” said officer Zhang Bin, one of the organizers.
End Quote:
It seems that more and more law enforcement agencies (and some military) are turning to computerized training. This offers a low cost alternative to “live fire” events that can get expensive. It cost a lot less to fire off a few thousand rounds in counter-strike, as opposed to real life. But of course, nothing can replace real, hands on experience.

A member of youtube by the name of Mangwold has posted a video about how many times the G-man is spotted in Half-Life 2.
SPOILER ALERT - if you have not played HL2, then you might not want to watch this video. But then again, you might want to know where to keep your eyes open at.
Special thanks goes to Mangwold for taking the time to make this video.
