    HL2... dont you hate it when

    You decide to play HL2 after not playing it for a while and you launch it only for it to then spending ten minutes updating and using 99% of the CPU.

    When it finally finished it lists Half Life 2 as "not installed" Nice one valve...

    CS is "not installed too", for some reason it still thinks "codename gordon" is installed, whoopee do...

    I restarted which fixed that problem however after playing for about half an hour it caused my computer to reboot (yet I dont have "automatically restart on errors" switched on).

    I know how you feel about the first thing, happens with most of the programs

    But the others... nope, never had that problem, ever, never.. yep, never. Never in the many years of using Steam

    Meh, Steam sucks, don't know what anyone expects. I still have to manually kill the process when I exit it to stop it maxxing out my CPU for a minute before finally killing the process itself :|
