I hate Steam. I just thought everyone should know this.

Open up Steam, it dosnt open. Its not running in Task Managers programs, but Steam.exe is running in processes. After about 15-20 minutes it just pops up like nothings wrong. Then if your lucky enough to log in sometimes it just freezes. theres a decent chance it will freeze if you do anything once its all opened up as well...

If Steam and 1.6 are the future of cs....well than fudge cs.

I dunno, anyone else havin any problems with Steam, and im going to assume so.

You forgot to mention that 2ft steel monstrosity they call the Riot Shield.

But yeah, Steam blows(no pun). Oh man, the hitboxes are even more pathetic now, it's like the head's hitbox has tripled in size. Even the recoil on the AK has like, disappeared.

Wait, let's talk Steam. Sad ripoff of MSN messenger, sad excuse of a program that's supposed to cater for hundreds of thousands of users on a single server. I couldn't log on to Steam for the first couple of days, but it worked last night. Also, it's fucked up AGAIN today; I can't get on at all.

Some of my favourite Steam pictures:

Yea, I wasnt going to go into 1.6 but yea. In the few times ive been able to actually play 1.6.....AK sucks now, weakened and less accurate. I dont mind the riot shield. It should have been made to cost A LOT more. AWPing in 1.6 is a lot nicer though.

... I don't even have a fucking crosshair for my scope weapons. Shields are so damn funny on pub servers though, makes public servers fun for me again. As for matchplay, it'll be horrible...

Something weird happened last night... Steam decided to be nice to be, and let me download at over 500kb/s, this allowed me to get everything Steam offered in under 10 minutes http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif
