I wish Steam would keep a grand total of hours played, and not just for a week or two weeks w/e it is currently. I always liked that about xfire, it kept a grand total.

what i don't get is what does it mean "EAGLES SCREAM"? does it mean i don't play enough? that's my logical take...

II think you are looking into this too deeply.

To the contrary, it means you've played alot.

'Eagles Scream' is the highest 'steam rating' you can get.

It's all fuck-lame imo

could be but i figured it's a valve/steam joke

me too. tho i figured the joke being "you're hardly playing online - eagles screaming - ha ha very funny!" until i noticed my hours were like 1000 a week and eagles kept screaming lol.
i think the joke is on steam? the rating doesn't update?

The steam rating is based on the amount of time you spend each week playing steam games. Eagles scream is the highest rating and I think it only requires 10 hours a week to get? Im not sure. The eagles screaming reference is also I think tied into the fact that eagles are the top bird predator and hold some reverence since they are the national symbol of the U.S. Of course this doesn't mean much to a person not in the U.S.

It's steam way of yelling at me, saying Eagles are screaming at me to get off my ass and go outside while the weather is nice.....

LOL I dunno. Eagles are symbolic in my life. Might not be in yours though valar ....so dunno what to tell ya?

[EYE] Valar

2008-04-21 22:01:52

yea...Eagles are symbolic also in my life

. here's what they mean to me:

Eagles - top bird/ top rank/ top notch and all that top wow.
Eagles Screaming (however)- desert. canyon. buffalo skull lying on the blazing hot sand...eagles screams echoing in the mountains.

Well, its not actually Eagles, its just birds, because IT IS 6 AM! The sun is coming up and you have been on for 10 straight hours. Go to BED, for christ sakes!

For me as an American, seeing the eagles fly and hearing them call (scream) is supposed to be a special thing. Eagles symbolize freedom, independence, strength and power. The eagles cry is symbolic of defiance, independence and the wilderness. Not sure what all of that has to do with a game except that I suppose your bad ass with that rating.
Whatever....

A little off topic but related to that video coke posted.
One time I was out riding my dirt bike in the hills and I saw this 4-5 foot long rattle snake as I passed down a trail. I decided to pull over and check him out from a safe distance. Just as I started to look at him out of no where this big hawk of some sort, swooped down grabbed the snake and began to fly away with him in its claws. I was just sitting there going WTF and continued to watch the hawk fly away with him. I would say the hawk was a good 25 feet up in the air when the snake decided it was time to strike and bit the bird. Almost instantly the hawk fell from the sky hit the ground some 50 yards in front of me and was dead as they get. I raced over to where it fell and saw the rattler slither away, I think I heard him say LOL PWNed that n00b!
True story (lol except the last sentence)
