I couldn't love Steam more. I remember when it first came out when I got HL2. I thought to myself, wow, it's just awesome that I get to use the internet to install and play a game! I had no problems with having to open Steam every time I wanted to play HL2. Now I got a new computer and a couple new games MW2 and Empire: Total War, and I'm like, this is the greatest thing ever! It's so great that I have to install Steam and run it online just to get my games to play! If I didn't have an internet connection I would be so much happier than I am now. I mean wow! It's mind blowing that when I log in Steam takes a couple minutes just to load because it is apparently downloading something, I don't know what, but it must be sweet! Then when I finally get logged in to check for updates to my games it says it's searching for updates and not even updating them. My connection status shows megs and megs of info being received for who knows what reason, but again, it must be totally rad whatever it is! Then I really appreciate the feature that when I exit out of Steam, it actually somehow stays open in the background and I have to go in and end the process because it doesn't even show up under applications in task manager. This is the most convenient software I have ever seen! I don't really know what that convenience is, but I totally dig it! I mean with out Steam, I would just install the game onto my hard drive like normal, an icon would pop up in my start menu and on my desktop, and I'd just start playing. If I wanted an update or patch, I'd just get online and download one from a number of possible websites. HAHAH! Talk about NOT wasting time! I can't get enough of how this software is so buggy you can't even use it as it was meant to be used, however that was? I mean who wants software without bugs? The world wouldn't function without insects after all right? Steam, I hope you can continue being so super that no one will ever be unsatisfied with games again because of the awesomeness of how important you are to making something more convenient for me. I love having adware on my computer that I can't get rid of because it's needed for playing my games. And a big thanks to you too Activision and Sega for making Steam a huge part of my gaming experience! I love you guys for not giving an ounce of consideration to your loyal fans! You guys rock!
