i did read your whole post. i just went back and skimmed it again as well. im just saying that if all you really wanted was to have the games in the same directory you could have just put them there.

congrats on installing steam though.

Good job taking an hour of your day to make a topic that has been discussed 100 times, and is over.

It is so funny to me that some hard core gamers like "Bawx" get ballzy and is being a condescending a-hole to some one who took a lot of time and had the respect of this forum to format and itemize a topic neatly only to be ridiculed. So what, this topic has already come up. We understand that you are still carrying around the emotional scars from high school from being picked on and not having any friends but it does not give you license to be a jerk!

Steam is great if you have a faster DSL connection or Cable modem. But try to download games at 768kb like my connection :(

Mine usually download between 300-350kb/s. Not a big deal. I just do something in the mean time and be sure to back up my steam folder so I don't have to re-download them all

Your connection is much better than mine, my download speed is usually 80 to 110kb.

The one issue that I have with Steam is the ease with which they can lock you out of your account. I purchased a Borderlands DLC for less than $7 when it was on sale, and completed it. 3 months later my credit card company (Capital One) found that there was an error in the approval process for the charge that was on the vendor's side so the charge was reversed, therefore making the purchase invalid. When this happened I was locked out of my account, and therefore all of my games were rendered useless. Close to $1000 worth of games were then unplayable, and nontransferable to another account even though they had nothing to do with Borderlands.

Eventually (4 weeks later) they cut me a break and allowed me to purchase the DLC again to make good on the account. It took a LOT of phone calls to my credit card company and a lot of correspondence with Steam to get this to happen and it's made me nervous about buying games from them online.

I'm not sure I can really believe that story. I have a couple of friends who have had similar issues and steam has sorted them out in a couple of minutes. Not only that but they were given free games to make up for the issue.
