This topic is where i get to vent portions of my rage on that idiotic gamespy wannabe called steam

a tribute to steam

Steam,
You burn my world
One minute im pwning happily,
Blasting aliens away with a shotgun,
Then all of the sudden,
In a blink of an eye
WARNING: CONNECTION PROBLEM.
I return to the server,
I expect that I will barely be able to squeeze in
The servers always packed this time of night
But low and behold! only 2 people remain,
The others cast off by that evil satanic entity
Some would call it technical difficulties
I call it being STEEEEEEEEEMROOOOLLLLLLLLLED
Steam, your one stop program for on the fly updates,
With advanced community support! chat online with friends
For your inconvience,
We have ganked or outright killed several 3rd party mods.
After all, nothing is important,
Compared to Cs and DoD,
Things we bought and say we made!!!!!!!!
After all, scr00 the mod player,
There are millions of moronic CS players,
They get us all the money we need!!!!!
Today we control your game!
Tomorrow, WE JUST MIGHT PWN JOOR SOULZ!

    Rage has no rhyme scheme, if you want iambic, go read the cs server logs

    example, a cs player is pubbin

    I pwnzed ur mom u scrub!
    I awped her thru the wall!
    Oh mah god joo hacks
    I laugh at her helpless rage, she screams for ban in rage

    Yes, if it was up to me, i would go on a rampage and kill a great many people at valve, but then half life 2 would never release, so i cant.

    Anger is a wonderful thing.

    When fightiing one who cant control their anger, they crumble and fail before their own flaws.

    But when you harness your anger, and direct it, you become powerful

    You can't take a few pokes at your clan? What? Are you gonna prove his manhood to him? How? By killing him in the offchance you meet him alone in a long corridor?

    I Like Steam

    It rules and is much better than WON.

    Well I haven't been able to play online RBS3:RVS because punk Buster Hoxors my Megahurtzzzz!

    Steam wont allow more than 1 fmod.dll in the HL folder

    and I lost my 2.01 fmod so I can't play on the LUNIXMONSTER!!!

    [edit] I just forgot LB has that file for easy DL... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> [/edit]

    That's your internet connection and the server. Steam can't help that. I thought you'd be a little smarter than that.

    Everyday i wish WON would finally go down so all the idiots who can't shut up about how much Steam sucks just fade away and disappear.

    Face it, Steam is the new way, WON is being shut down. You can either grow up and accept the fact that things change, or you could just uninstall Half-Life and stage a boycott of Steam products. While you're doing that, we'll be having a great time playing on Steam using all the new empty slots because the idiots think they can change the world by whining and not getting their own way.

    *flames Esuna*

    If steam is indeed "the new way" then like all new things it comes with a huge helping of bugs, and a nice side dish of fatal exceptions too.

    It still pisses me off that I ran the steam beta without a hitch (I *liked* it too) When it went official the first thing I see is the "Floating exception" error...

    wow... guess some people are just unlucky, steam's never given me bother. No errors, crashes or connection problems. The only time I remember it doing anything that made me go 'huh?' was when I encountered a serverlist bug way back but that was patched ages ago and was easy to temp-fix anyways ~Shrugs~

    If you've read up on it all and it still blows up on you then I feel sorry for you guys, some of us are just luckier than you <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Its given me plenty... Your just lucky Gem.

    I think ive been hit with every major bug in the steam support forums...

    When i have a problem with Steam i just restart it instead of going to forums and whine.

    I don't think that yet another Steam-bash-thread will offer us any significant new insights, so...
