"...if people bought thousands of dollars worth of games on Steam..."
Sounds like a good deal for Valve, makers of Steam.

Keep on purchasin' and not only will they survive, they would flourish.

I play the small raisin box... (just blow, you'll figure it out)
As for a more traditional instrument, Violin. With 3+ years experience... about 15 years ago. I'd probably sound horrible now.

Stickers... sometimes MULTIPLE Stickers... ALL OVER the game artwork. I'm just suprised they didn't put it on the readable side of the disk...
All their games are used, even the new ones.. because the open the factory seal and stick in in a drawer after they're done playing them to death. Demand a factory sealed game, I assure you they'll have their own wrapping on a new (but heavily used somehow) game.
Also, preorders anyone? Its kind of a joke.
I could say more, but I at least found my 100% brand new factory sealed gamecube and games from there, while they still had them. (not that I have any reason to go back to that store now).

I once killed an elephant in my pajamas...
...how he got into my pajamas I'll never know...

I wouldn't want an instant quit unless it saved a memory snapshot of the active game... so I could resume... exactly... where I left off.
But that has its own security problems... It would have to be stored encrypted and steam should be able to tell if its been tampered with (or completely replaced or altered).

Oh, it just wasn't reachable from the outside world because my router was in between my comp and the cable-modem. After I removed it, seemed to work fine.
Just not sure how to do this if I have the router in the way. Took forever to figure out that was the issue.
Thanks for all your help.

Looks like you're a long-time player of TF2... and that the Halloween update broke it for you.
One reason for such a message is that TF2 is already (or still) running. Perhaps you tripple-clicked to start. Check for hl2.exe in the Windows TaskManager and end it. Then try TF2 again.

If that wasn't the problem, validate the steam cache files from the property dialog (The "Local Files" tab).
If you've done that and it still doesn't work, try uninstalling TF2, then going in through Windows Explorer and removing the Team Fortress 2 folder (might be leftovers). Then your next download(would take a while) will be 100% clean and should work without any issues.

If you've still done all that and it doesn't launch, the Halloween event might be nearly over by the time Valve gets to your bug report(you submitted one, right?). I hope you don't miss out.

I do try to be terribly mysterious...
I end up being silent but deadly.

I see a lot of Frazer and Urdnot (in a good way).
