No, that's not supposed to happen. Pray to whatever dark, pagan gods you worship that it will start once more, else your Steam be lost to the dark abyss.

Also, Bastion is freaking awesome.

I haven't even gotten to use it yet. I just downloaded the installer last night and have been waiting for the stupid thing to update. It's been around three hours now, and it still hasn't made any progress. Never realized I would have this much trouble with it.

Edit: Well, I restarted my computer and now it's making progress. Hopefully that's all it was.

Ok now I've got another question. Steam was able to update just fine after I restarted my computer but now it's taking forever for creating my account (been over an hour). I'm getting ready to go to bed soon. Will it hurt anything if I just turn my computer off and try again tomorrow even though it's still trying to create it? (I don't like leaving my computer out so I lock it up. Don't want it to get stolen.)

Yeah, that should be dandy. Steam doesn't seem to like your computer. Give us a heads-up tomorrow on how it's going.

@Blink: Alright. Hopefully I won't have any more problems.

Well I tried to get it to connect today, and now the stupid thing quits responding. This is really getting on my nerves. I just want to get on the freakin' store. :/ I was able to join GOG last night without any problems, but why with this?

How many other programs are open when your using steam? Closing a few might give it more oomph.

The only thing I have open is the Internet but I'll try that.

Well I tried that and now it says it can't connect because of either a crappy internet connection or something on their end. Can I reinstall it so I can pick a slower connection? I see nothing for uninstalling it.

Edit: I figured out how to uninstall it.

New free to play game Crimecraft: BLEEDOUT is available.

If you're a puzzle lover remember today's TIDALIS sale It's at 1,20 € (85% off )

You can now pre-order Serious Sam 3: BFE. DO IT!!! NOW!!!

I heartily recommend it.

Also, Deus Ex came today. Nothing like buying a game in a box. C:

According to Steam's "Coming Soon" tab, we all own the Gundemonium Collection. Interesting...

Unfortunately it is not my kind of game

What do you mean "we all own" it soon? I don't see anything mentioning that it's free to play, they just don't have a price yet.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a very very nice game. I have always hated stealth portions of video games, and avoided entire stealth games such as Splinter Cell on principle. I just hate the apprehension, the pressure, and the freaking timing.
But I am a ninja now.
A non-lethal ninja.
Most of the time.
I like it very much, and that's all I've really got to say. C:

If you click on the "Coming Soon" tab on Steam's homepage and click the "Next 10" button, you'll see the Gundemonium Collection as a game that's going to be released in September of 2011. If you put your mouse cursor over it, a little window will pop up and give you a description of what the game is. Under the description you'll see that how many of your friends own the game, which appears to be every friend I have.

@V8_Ninja I think that's a mistake. I'm pretty sure this game is NOT free. Anyway, it's awesome news! I didn't expect that kind of games would ever arrive on Steam. I've been following them but their price put me off :/ I think I'll get them eventually

This is a pretty sweet looking laptop http://www.razerzone.com/blade#

No price yet though, which is worrisome D:
