It's all begining to make sense now... I know why you don't like Steam! You went to the store and bought a new video card in anticipation of HL2, and eagerly started the download... . The thought of all that enhanced graphic-goodness was too much for you, and you couldn't wait anymore - you shoved your PC to the ground, tore open its case, intent on having your way with your beloved machine. Unfortunatly, you forgot to unplug your beauty, so in addition to cutting yourself on your beloved graphics card, you also got a bit of a jolt as the thing shorted out when you spooged all over the insides of the box. Not wanting to tell your parents the truth about what happend to the family computer, you hastily closed up the case, and blamed the broken computer on STEAM. After all, if it weren't for steam, you could have used the CD to...relieve...yourself.
