Alarm clock during game
It was a great idea to show a clock in the upper-left corner on the menu pressing Shift+Tab, but it would be AWESOME to add a simple alarm or countdown to that clock.
For example: If you have to go to school at 5PM, you could set the alarm clock at 4:30PM and Steam would show you a notification when it's 4:30PM.
I have to rush to the bus stop almost everyday because I lose track of time while I'm playing!
Thanks for reading ;]

Don't you have, you know, an actual alarm clock for that? O.o Or a watch? Or a phone app?

I agree, if you play with headset its impossible unless you've got the phone in your pocket.

You can also just get a alarm clock of the PC.... like a outside program even that its not in game thing and you will have to Alt-Tab to change it

Put it on vibrate. :) That way you won't need to hear it. Sit it on the desk next to you or in your pocket and you will feel when it goes off.

It's an option, but a notification in Steam would be much convenient than hearing an alarm ringtone outside, and it would work better with low-end PCs that cannot run even a simple alarm clock program while playing a game.

I've seen this, trust me. An old Pentium III running Counter Strike 1.6+Steam that couldn't even switch to desk with alt+tab. It froze everytime.

I know there's another options, but IMO it would be useful to lots of people.
