@Red: I was in the middle of downloading the first Portal, when a storm rolled in; causing the power to flicker just enough for 2k to turn off. Once she was back on, Steam would not start up, nor would the repair feature work; forcing me to uninstall it and start over...which took all my games with it >_<

@Paul: Sounds cool :3

You didn't need to do that.  Just delete everything in the Steam folder except the steamapps folder and steam.exe.  Then run steam.exe and it'll reinstall itself.

Wish I had known that sooner

I'm not all that familiar with the workings of Steam, but couldn't your games be backed up on an external drive?

[Nichi]

Yes you can. In fact, I've started doing just that

Steam is stupid. -_-

[Red-Machine]

Why is it stupid?

[Chocofreak13]

calling something you don't like stupid makes you sound stupid. :\

that said, i don't use steam, and prefer hard copies of my games. though there are a couple steam exclusives that i'd like, but i don't want the program. catch 22. >>;

Same with me, Steam is perpetually more trouble to me then it actually seems to be worth.  That being said, I'm kind of surprised that I went to Best Buy today and while they didn't have a single copy og Fallout: New Vegas they had a handful of Fallout 1 discs.  It came out in 1997.

.....Does Best Buy routinely sell 15-year-old games / programs? ._________.;;;;

i got an old, ripped up special edition of Bioshock 2 there last year. methinks that they keep the inventory till it sells, no matter how long it takes.

[Nichi]

They did reprint the original Fallout not long after New Vegas came out, so it doesn't surprise me. What did surprise me was seeing a new copy of the Windows version of Treasure Mountain last summer, next to the then-recently released Portal 2. Not everyday you see a new release right next to a game that proudly proclaims on the package "Windows 95 compatible!"
