Steam fucking sucks right now.

Was getting a Steam error every time my PC booted. So, I uninstalled Steam and reinstalled.

All of my Steam games, with saves, were uninstalled as well. No questions during uninstall. No warnings. It just did it. All of my games CS, TF2, etc are still showing as installed in my add/remove apps thing, but they aren't there. If you search Steams forums, it says there "Warning, uninstalling deletes everything". To keep your installed games/saves, you have to copy the whole fucking directory, reinstall and then copy it back. Nice fucking design fuckwads.

Ok, fine. All my saves are gone and I have to start over. Good thing the games are fun and stuff.

I try to reinstall. All Steam servers are too busy to process your request. Try again later.

Fuck you. Fuck you in your goat asses.

Good thing you don't have those annoying CDs, eh?

I've been seeing "TF2 servers are not available, try again later" messages a lot lately.

Plus, the other day the IM server wasn't working.

I played Dawn of Discovery tonight without any problems...

Guess it's just the "online" content.

Honestly, I lose my CDs all the time too having to tear apart shelves looking for them. I do take solice in knowing the servers will eventually be up and I'll have my games. Other CDs (Diablo II) never show up.

So, I don't miss the CDs, I'm pissed that these people that are suppose to keep track of my CDs ain't givin' them to me.

I did think "I wish I had the CDs". But then that was quickly followed by memories of all the times I couldn't find my CDs in the past.

Ya. My son was sitting next to me playing CS on his laptop. Just teasing me. . .

I've noticed Steam having issues lately as well.

I'll boot up and get a random message from Steam that "x" has been installed and is ready to use.

The problem is that "x" has been installed for over a year.

I was getting those messages daily for a bit and the game it referred to would change each day.

To be fair, I also might be running a beta version of Steam. I got a notice a few weeks back asking me if I wanted to upgrade to a beta version and I think I did...can't remember for sure.
