I finally got set up on Steam and The Ship is the first game I purchased. It's a mystery game set aboard a cruise ship in the 1920's. You log on to the server and choose to play a passenger or a hunter. If you're a passenger, you're a target for a hunter player and the object of the game is to avoid being killed. If you're a hunter, the aim is to find your target and kill them with an interesting object, this can be anything from an umbrella to a dictionary.

I was mostly interested in the potential mystery story, but this is pretty much a first-person shooter with a nice mystery theme. Sadly, it's a few years old so there aren't enough players to make it interesting and playing the arcade version is pointless.

We don’t believe games should force the user to install a Trojan Horse," said the company -- referring to Steam, in a statement explaining its decision.

Sounds like somebody is just a tad bitter over Steam's success. Personally, I'll take Steam over Direct2Drive any day.

Today, I spent my money on my usual daily shenanigans. But, today was more of a special day if you’re a Steam member. The slightly awaited Left 4 Dead 2 demo came out. If you never played the first Left 4 Dead the storyline is four survivors trying to escape a zombie apocalypse which just about sounds like any other zombie game to most gamers. I still like playing it.

My impression of L4D2 is that it’s good in my view. The graphics look better than the first L4D. They added a few game plays and new weapons. In the demo, you get to play a two-stage campaign called The Parish. You get the typical zombie with the “special infected” plus some new special infected added.

It’s very jam packed with action just about every step you take in the game. Even when they difficulty was on Normal, it felt like it was on Expert. The demo is only $49.99 but you can save 10% off and pay $44.99. It’s well worth the price.

Having created a Steam backup under Windows Vista (took the best part
of four hours, but I didn't really want to have to download >50GB of
data unnecessarily), I attempted to restore from the backup. First of
all, I saw a sliver of a window appear, with the title 'Restore Bac',
and the Steam process started running full speed on one CPU.

Eventually, a window appears asking me which games I'd like to restore
from backup, so I select them all and continue. Next thing I know,
Steam has merrily started downloading all the games over my broadband
connection again. Not so useful.

The Gallopers at Carters' Steam Fair

The earliest days of this Tidman set of gallopers are beyond human memory and there is a lack of any written evidence for the era. There are many ideas about the origin of the ride, but it is believed it was owned firstly by the Harris family c1895. In c1921 the ride was acquired by Ted Andrews of Kent. It is believed that it did travel during his ownership until sold to William 'Bill' Penfold c1938, also of Kent. War regulations meant the ride was put into storage for a time until the laws were relaxed. The gallopers were sold to a gypsy,turned Showman John King in 1948, and the ride travelled the South Yorkshire area. Bill Bradley, a Preston based professional Showman, purchased the set in early 1952 for £1000. The ride was exchanged in 1956 for Oliver Aveyard's heavy, steel-plated Swirl. During his ownership, the ride was opened at Burnham Beeches pleasure grounds. The pleasure grounds were sold in 1961, together with the Gallopers to John Lovett. In 1963/64 Lovett made several significant changes to the gallopers (details of which can be seen in John Carter's Jubilee Steam Gallopers book available in the sales section of this website). John Carter bought the gallopers from John Lovett after a meeting, however the ride remained in operation until the end of the 1976 season. Once collected, John began major renovation work and the partly finished gallopers were seen in operation at events during the 1970s. The machine log book reveals an intense and dedicated pursuit of safety and historical perfection. John renamed the ride in 1977 "The Queens Silver Jubilee Steam Gallopers". This name celebrated the Queen's Jubilee year and also marked the return of the ride to steam power after 25 years. When the gallopers reached their centenary year (1995) the machine was extensively redecorated using vast amounts of gold. Much of the artwork on the set was completed by Anna Carter.
