When i try to run the steam app it says this

"Steam needs to be online to update"

i am conected to wifi please help

[frytoob]

@egglooke erm well check that steam isn't being blocked by your firewall as that might be causing some problems, also id suggest asking the steam technicians themselves as they have much better knowledge on issues with steam than i do. If it pursists and you cant find a way to fix it, just try reinstalling it.

I recently downloaded Steam for Mac and since I'm more of a fan of a gamepad than a keyboard, does anyone have any suggestions for a gamepad compatible with the Mac? Specifically, Steam (Portal, Half Life 2, etc..) or at least something that has software that allows me to map keyboard keys to the buttons on the gamepad. Your suggestions are most appreciated!

@marvelunivers well if you have a wired xbox 360 controller lying around then i would have to suggest using that. You will need to install some drivers for it though, just remember that this will only work for the wired xbox 360 controller. Just search around on google for xbox 360 controller drivers for mac, should find them. Or if you happen to have a ps3 controller, i aint sure but i believe that they work without needing any drivers installed, but dont take my word on that. Hope i helped.

@frytoob thanx and how are the controls

[frytoob]

@marvelunivers the controls feel the same as if you were using them on a console, except you may be able to change the use of the buttons on the game pad depending on the make and the game. It dosnt take that much getting used to. i played all of half life, episode 1, and episode 2 through using a keyboard though. That being the first time that i had used a keyboard for gaming and found that after a while it does become quiet simple, just takes a bit of getting used too.

@maverick7376 a 20 year old game in 2007 wouldn't have gotten tons of 9+/10 ratings and awards.

@Personaboutspeed it looks like it is 20 years old

[Personaboutspeed]

@maverick7376 It is not the game that is retarded, but you.

if you are recording with screenflow, the framerate is very low. but when you aren't recording, the framerate increases.

in my mac, this is normal when I record with screenflow
