Blah, pain in the @$$
I bought the orange box when it first game out. I am just now trying to play it though, and I was super pumped to get through half life 2 and portal. I live somewhere where no Internet is available. I tried to install the orange box, but Internet is required....guess I missed it on the box.
So, I drove about 30 minutes to a friend's house and am now on the Internet to post this. Sure, I can haul my computer here, but that's not the point -> I want to be able to play this game and install / uninstall it anytime I like without having to take my PC random places.
Is there any sort of steam emulation I can download in order to do this, to fake the game into installing? As I said, I bought it, so I just need to "Hack" this somehow. I did all sorts of searches, and either found nothing or found old emulators (from like 2008) that doesn't list working with the orange box. Plus, I did find some things, but I'm confused with all of the GCF's and the CFDs and the MOFUTS (randomly making stuff up now) and the copying these over, then go here and install this, then copy this file over, etc. when I'm not even sure if that's doing what I'm wanting to do.
I like paying for my games, but here is another point towards the piracy argument.
thanks.
