All hope abandon, ye who enter in.

Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas and a Chappy Channukah, and for those of a different persuation a very happy non-denominational holiday.

So if the title isn't self explainitory, we all need to find ways to game together more often. There are a few options available to us.

The following is a short list of free-of-cost games that we can play by downloading them off Steam:

Insurgency
Synergy (all you need is HL2 or one of the episodes)
Zombie Panic! Source
D.I.P.R.I.P. Warm Up (it's not that good though)

And the following is an equally short list of games that we can play through through purchase of the game, either through Steam or in hard-copy:

Battlefield 2
Team Fortress 2
Left 4 Dead
Counter Strike: Source

BF2 and CSS are by far the least expensive for purchase, but that being said TF2 and L4D are tonnes of fun.

As a note of general interest, everyone is capable of making events and posting announcements. If there's anything wrong with this list or if I'm missing something, post an announcement so everyone can see it.
