      Rightfully pissed, too. Installing HL2 was a goddamned nightmare.

        Steam was so rough at launch. I registered at 7:50 pm on launch day but the I didn’t play counter strike that day.

          Oh my God, yeah. I bought HL2 on news years day coming with a massive hangover and just wanted to nurse it with a new game.

          Worst gaming experience ever, until I finally got into the game the next day.

      I’m still sad that steamingpileofshit.com finally got killed. I think within the last year or two.

      Used to redirect to steam.com since the old days when everybody hated Steam lol. It’s hugely improved now and I love everything that GabeN has done for the PC gaming community; Steam being a huge part of it.

      But I still laugh a bit at the old days.
