here is a lil brief on games for windows live, which is required for some games alongside steam

its mostly only needed for Dawn of War 2 right now but other games (gta 4 fallout 3 etc) also use it and it will most likely be a much bigger component of online gaming.

http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/Support/Pages/default.aspx

This part is the live guide overview:

The LIVE Guide is a launch pad to your gamer profile and gamer community. It gives you instant access to your friends, messaging, achievements, and personal settings. To access the LIVE Guide, press the Home key on your keyboard.

The six key areas of the LIVE Guide are:

   1. Gamer card: Displays your gamertag, gamer picture, and stats. Select your gamer card to go to your gamer profile, where you'll find these options: View Games, Edit Gamer Profile, View Rep, and Account Management.
   2. Messages: Exchange messages with members of Games for Windows - LIVE and Xbox LIVE (online only).
   3. Friends: Check out your friends list (online only).
   4. Players: View the gamertags of last 50 people you've played with (online only).
   5. Private Chat: Initiate one-on-one voice chat with another player (online only).
   6. Settings, which include options for:

          o Online Status – how you appear to other players while you're online
          o Voice – recording and playback device
          o Notifications – turn notifications on and off
          o Change Guide Key – change the key that opens the Guide
          o Customer Experience – join the Customer Experience Improvement Program
          o Network Information – information about your network settings
          o Version Information – information about your version of Games for Windows – LIVE
          o Join LIVE – if you are signed into an offline profile, this allows you to create an online profile

The LIVE Guide will notify you when your friends are online, when a friend has extended a game request, and when you've received a message or an invitation to chat.

Just want to focus on your game? Select Notifications and tell the LIVE Guide not to intrude. It's all up to you
.

I know better than to vote against microsoft in the online gaming arena but I've got mixed feelings about Games For Windows Live right now.

If the service is down, you can't play online. Lame.

It does offer some wicked stats and gamertags. Like I said, mixed feelings.

The number of logins I have to go through in cyberspace nowadays. Ventrilo, Steam, GamesForWindowsLive, carigamers, windows live messenger, yahoo, facebook, cga, gatt, trinitechsquad, and more.

Need some sort of "one ring" for websites and online apps.

apparently, space marines have the most expensive units in the game. Eldar supposed to be cheap and fast (but brittle). Mobility is their strat.

all over the place, map control, etc...

the official dow2 community has decent info on strats and builds.

dow2 codex site has excellent info on the races/units/abilities/etc...

reading iwmc.

this friday is a holiday afaik. Nuff training immc.

Cereal Killer supposed to know a thing or three about team games. The mc ducking playing with us though, lol

i think the holiday is saturday, so BG will get the friday too

eldar req cost are faily low, except for guardians, they expensive for ling like units but all eldar units have high and recurring energy costs, just like toss.
mobility really is their thing,they can dive in and out of battle and do damage, but they not good at holding points. THey have 1 non hero melee unit and no heavy infantry
that is really annoying, if i want heavy anti infantry i hadda go machines.

I've gotten as high as 456k download speed from steam with ps3 downloading as well. I've only recently joined steam but I'm highly impressed with their service. I cant see why any pc developer wouldn't use steam for distribution.
