I can not tell you how long I've been waiting for this, but Valve has finally released an app for Steam! You can even buy video games straight from your phone! What do all of you think about this new app?!

Want an easy to use open source 3D video game SDK that handles Physics, Graphics, Audio, and AI right out of the box?

yea.... but can i play the game on my phone? if not, then I could of just gone to their website to buy their games if I was in that much of a rush to play that I couldn't afford the extra minute it takes to purchase the game once I get home.....

That's not the part that interests me. I can now contact my steam friends from my phone! Most of which are real life friends so it's actually super awesome for me!

I just really wish they would do a linux based steam-friends client. I would love to be able to easily get messages from friends while I'm working on stuff in another OS.

Actually bringing Steam and games to Linux would be amazing, but sadly I'm not expecting that to happen any time soon.

Wow, that's amazing! It's about time phones gave you a way to contact people you know.

Yeah, because you know, the guy on the other end always has access to a phone, and is always a local call away.

...

One of the major points for why Steamfriends-chat exists is so that you can use it from within the games, and not have to switch to another program. (Which some games do NOT play nice with.)

I don't know many of their numbers and as Luckless said most are not local. Plus it's basically free texting for PC gamer nerds now.
