Steam To Begin Hosting Game Mods 81

Valve made a brief announcement on Friday that they will be allowing the download of user-created game mods directly from Steam. "Once installed, these MODs will appear in your 'My Games' list and will receive automatic updates just like other games on Steam. Also, these MODs now take advantage of Steamworks, which provides stat tracking and tighter integration with the Steam community." Mods will be available for five different games to start, and more in the future.

    You can adjust gravity in all Source games with the right console commands. You can also adjust cool shit like forces involved (make any kill instantly pummel your foe into the nearest wall) and the speed of the ingame tick (for instant matrix-style-mod). Some fun servers do random shit like this for a laugh, it's pretty fun when you just want to dick about.
