gemini you right that we should stop bitching, but seeing how much valve screwed up, you gotta blame them a lot too. i think the people at steam are probably very bad chess players. why? because if they were good at chess, they'd be better at planning a improvising for the next big move. not all software works great on the 1st try, but in the business world, customers come 1st because we paid for all those games that valve made. wouldn't you get mad and bitch if your cable modem get's fuXored up? you pay for it so why do they have to shut down your internet? it isn't bad if we let our ideas about steam out because if we don't then they'll never know

This is for the people wondering about custom weapon skins/sounds and player models. http://csnation.counter-strike.net/cssp...thsteam.shtml

Well, what better way for the RIAA to find out who has stolen music than to team up with Valve and have spyware integrated into their files. Seeing as how majority of the cs population are teens and people in their early-mid twenty's. Those people being major downloaders of mp3's.

Anyone get this problem A LOT when trying to connect to a random server?



"You have been disconnected from the server.

Reason: Error verifying STEAM User ID Ticket(server was

unable to contact the authentication server,27)."



God that is so gay, if you have any info on that please tell me how to fix it. BTW, its only on select servers, not all, but most
