Guessing there will be a lot within a day plus or minus of mine.

9/1/2004

I remember getting HL2 and playing it for like 12 hours straight that night.

Mine says Sept 22, 2005. I think I got HL2 with a video card I bought. I thought it was so cool that I was able to download it years after from Steam even though I had gone through a couple of other machine builds. Some may detest Steam, but I thought this was the greatest thing ever.

May 25, 2004. I got Halflife 2 on launch day.

My most played games are:
COH: Tales of Valor @ 131 hours, Dawn of War 2 @ 88 hours, Civ 5 @ 80 hours, Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance @ 72 hours, Xcom @ 71 hours, COH2 @ 56 hours, Super Meatboy @ 54 hours....

Hmm, I'm not sure I agree with these stats. COH1 seems low, and the rest seem high.

Many times it doesnt track stuff.
I have all the achievements from every Bethesda game, but its only accounted for about half of them.

5/24/2004. I signed up with my HL2 purchase. I recall being extremely resistant to the idea of Steam and put off signing up until HL2 forced me. Now I love Steam. Love it. Funny how things change.

That's true, I don't think the tracking even started until after a certain date in like 2008.

I got a HL2 key with my 9600xt and had to create the Steam account to use it. As I recall the game took awhile to come out after that.

Yeah, steam was available a while before they issued HL2. But most folks jumped on later.

9/17/03 here. Probably because of HL2 & CS, had been playing CS since the beta stages.

IIRC, i did not want to install Steam for the longest time, but had to for probably HL2 or Orange Box?

I discovered Steam when I ran across a thread in the "Free Stuff" section of Anandtech entitled "Free Portal"....or something like that.

Valve was giving away Portal (I think to celebrate Apple compatibility or something like that). I signed up to see what Portal was about.

As such, I blame Anandtech.

Why does that require making a new account? I'm sure we all have old games in our library that aren't being played anymore.

Sometimes it just quits tracking for no reason. Warlock: Master of the Arcane has been stuck on 1,300 hours and I must have put in another 200-400 hours since it stopped counting.
