Also, it looks like Valve has released the beta version of it's new L4D2 DLC: "Dead Air."

Hmm do I buy Civ V again for my wife and risk Steam wiping out her account again (she's on a mac).

Civ V is a disappointment ... take that from a longtime civ fan. Actually they have gone down since Civ 3. Get her Alpha Centauri if its still available. With this and modern hardware she could build worlds so vast she wont meet other leaders for weeks on end. The Ironing might not get done tho.

I bought Civ5 from Steam for $49.99 only last week!!! That hurts!

Yeah, it's almost to the point where I'm afraid to buy something at full price .
