Well I've searched around mate, and tbh I still dont know.
I havent seen any servers that say "360/PC!!" or anything like that, so I have to presume you cant.
Btw, Team Fortress 2 is AWESOME!! This really is the deal of the century.

OK guys, I have a free Half Life 2 gift to give away as I already had it when I got the Orange Box. I'll give it to the first person who comes forward to claim it.
There are no catches to this - I already owned Half Life 2 which came with the Orange Box, and Valve therefore give me the chance to pass it onto a friend. Seen as all my known friends have the game, I'm willing to pass it onto someone who wants it.
Now this would involve downloading the game itself off Steam once I had sent you the pass. This would amount to around 1.2GB of data, so dont try and do this on a dial up connection!
Steam has had a lot of bad press over the years, but I can assure you that it has improved a lot. Basically, it is a copy protection system. You install your game onto the PC, and when you want to play you launch Steam. It then updates your games as necessary.
All the gift process would involve is me sending you an email which has a link in, you following that, getting a Steam account and the downloading the game.
Then it is yours, for free and forever.
If you arent convinced on the game itself, check out its metacritic score and reviews.

I'll just post this here since I can't really be bothered to make a separate thread for this.
As you might (or might not) know, Valve is having its second Team Fortress 2 Free Weekend in order to better promote this already-renowned multiplayer shooter. I've never really played another Valve game in my life before(!), and therefore decided to try it out. However, after downloading Steam, it's being a downright arse in the fact that when starting, it just gives me an error message, and fails to proceed any further.
The error in question is the infamous "Steam.exe(main exception): unable to load library steam.dll" error. A quick search revealed that even those who have been able to obtain the steam.dll file, is followed up by a "missing steamUI.exe" file error. Obtaining this file separately still fails to work for them, as Steam refuses to properly load. Now, the best solution I've found was the one from Steam's official support page, which states that the error is most commonly caused by a restrictive firewall - which sounds quite possible for my case.
I have the latest version of Comodo Firewall Pro, and the best I could do to allow Steam to connect to the web was to "define" it as a trusted application...but, that failed to work as well. I'm a newbie with configuring firewalls and whatnot, but can anyone please explain how to to open the ports on Comodo, or any other ways that this irritating issue can be solved? The offer ends on the 22th of June, so a response before then will be much appreciated.

OK, I have the same Firewall. If you go into the main section ('Summary'), you should see 'Network Defense' and 'Pro-active Defense'. There should be text in blue underneath the Network tab, click on that and run the slider down to 'Disabled'. Do the same with the Pro-Active tab. Now run Steam, do what you have to do, and then go into Comodo and slide the sliders back to "Safe Mode". Comodo should then ask you if you want to allow Steam connection, click 'Yes' and tick the box saying 'Remember my decision'.
