So I was insanely bored during my Thanksgiving Vacation, and I decided to buy a copy of HL2 off steam to take a break from GTA San Andreas.

Of course after over 2 hours downloading the damn thing, I go to run it and it locks at the "loading" screen. I go to properties on the game, and it says it's only 97% downloaded. wtf.

Why in the heck would it try to run the game if the full game isn't installed? So now I have to delete the game and spend another 2-3 hours redownloading the damn thing again, because there is no way to download the other 3%.

Steam sucks.

You couldve bought the game in a store in those 2 hours.

You sound just like another one of those morons that goes "WAAAHHHH! It doesn't work and I don't know how to fix it! The problem is probably incredibly easy to fix, but I'm a lamer and don't know WTF I'm doing! WAAAAHHHHHHH! It must be someone else's fault that I can't fix it! WAAAAHHHH!!"

Yeah the problem IS incredibly easy to fix....

If you are coding software, make sure to analyze the data that is downloaded first to ensure that 100% of it is there before simply unpacking it into a dir and telling the user that it is ready to go, and therefore fvcking it all up and wasting their time.

I thought HL2 was DELAYED forever to fix stupid crap like this.

And this obviously doesn't belong in the software/appz forum, because it is not asking for troubleshooting. It is simply ranting, and therefore OFF TOPIC.

Fvcking trolls.

Nik, heed your own advice.

WRONG FORUM, Nik...

And to make a public note, that the FIRST time I've ever done that to anybody. Glad it was to a troll.

He didn't ask for help, he's Ranting, which is completely appropriate for OT.

Not that you ever rant, Nik.

I had no problems with Steam, i personally think it is a good idea and the implementation is as good as can be expected given the scale of the thing.

How about, going outside? Or talking to friends? Or even family?
