Oh yeah thread, I'm bumping you with my white hot fiery rage and righteous frustration.

Steam, and to a lesser extent, Valve. Yes. I'm talking to you. Every time I hand over my hard earned pennies to you, you just smile and give me the middle finger response.

Seriously, all I want to do is play the Half Life 2 episodes. Is that so hard? First you give me fatal engine errors, and even though my system specs are fine for you and my drivers are up to date (YES THEY ARE STOP SENDING ME MESSAGES SAYING THAT THEY AREN'T) you consistently crash 2 minutes into the intro. I even fiddle with the resolution settings like some poor bugger suggested (YES I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE STEAM) and that works... once.

So again, I do what you want, I re-install my drivers, I re-install DirectX (YES THAT WAS UP TO DATE TOO YOU BASTARD,) and then what do you do? You give me a BSOD. Twice. And then I gave up and thought that I'd rather play Splinter Cell. SPLINTER CELL. I hate Splinter Cell, but I hate it less than you.

It's over. Give me back my Nina Simone albums and you'll find your shirts and toothbrush in a bag on my front lawn. Also, I've changed the locks.
