Okay, my Steam is still being a piece of shit and doing this.Why
Okay, so I decided to opt into the beta client to see if it would resolve my issues...but now Im back to not being able to download the Steam client because it keeps losing progress and eventually tells me that Steam needs to be connected to the internet. I know this isnt an internet issue as Im not losing connection to anything else and Ive tried both my home wifi and tethering my phone to my computer and the issue persists. Im super tempted to just nuke this install from orbit and start over, but Im pretty lazy and my Windows 7 disc is like 500 miles away.
I just want Steam to work
EDIT: And according to my phone, I downloaded 270MBs in an attempt to download the 89 required for the Steam update.
So my tale of woe continues:
I cant download games. Well, I can, but they dont. I bought Far Cry 3 and so far its downloaded 9kbs. Ive run CCleaner, Ive manually deleted references to Steam in regedit, Ive tried running in compatibility mode, Ive tried restarting, and opting into the beta...I dont know what else to do
EDIT: Now that I think about it, I downloaded Papers Please last night (or the night before) so I dont know what the fuck is up with Far Cry 3 not working.

@emp123, stupid question, but have you changed your Steam location to different servers? Also, in Control Panel, Internet Settings, Connections, LAN Settings, make sure ALL THAT SHIT is unchecked, then try again.

Yeah, Ive switched to a couple of servers in the area and it didnt resolve anything. LAN options were all unchecked already.
Thanks for the help though.
I dont think its an internet issue since the images in the store page arent properly displaying, but Im not sure what could have caused it.
Holy fucking shit, Dystopia had an update 10 days ago! I'm going to reinstall and see what's changed and if anybody is still playing it, the official Dystopia Steam group sent out an announcement that they'd be trying to organize games today and tomorrow so hopefully there will still be players.
So I'm a little over 7 hours into Dishonored before I realize that there is a non-lethal stealth takedown besides sleep darts, why do these types of games always make me feel like a terribly blood thirsty person?
Have you noticed how we dont get publisher mega packs on the steam sale anymore. Wonder why that is
So many people like me have bought the old versions, or piece-mealed their way into outright owning everything from a publisher sans one or two properties we aren't interested in. Us, the classhole core of steam, don't have a need for them , and the casual steam buyer doesn't either.

Did everyone vote Bulletstorm? If not, everyone vote Bulletstorm.
Dick-killing aside, it's some of the most fun I've had with a shooter in a long while. More games need sniper rifles where you steer the bullet, as I find that smooths over a lot of the game's rough spots (see also Singularity). And that's before you get to the really fun weapons, like the thing that shoots exploding bouncy-balls that keep exploding on every bounce, or the explosive flail that saws people in half, or the shotgun that saws people in half, or the drill that pins people to walls and saws them in half, and just vote for it already so I can gift it for five bucks okay geez

Like those THQ packs. Everybody owned everything but two games or something like that.
They also discontinued those cool 10-packs or so, specially awesome for gifts of mass destruction.

I also just updated (after the issues began) my SSD's firmware, even though Steam and most of my games are on a mechanical drive. Im running the most recent Nvidia drivers, but Im starting to think there may be a correlation between when I installed those drivers and now, but Im also thinking Internet Explorer may have fucked something up (I had to use IE to launch Battlefield 4 as Chrome got all fucking (kinda like Steam actually)).
EDIT: Im gunna give the Nvidia beta drivers a shot.
Im also seeing issues with some things Ive downloaded off the internet, namely downloading Steam from Steam's website gave me a file I couldnt install because its corrupt.

Playing Bullestorm is simply a blast,
Points for shooting them straight in the ass!
Follow with a rocket, soar to the sky!
Then sniper them right on the eye!
Combo for points to buy a gun
Plenty of gore yet silly fun!
I said it once, I'll say it again,
Everyone should vote for this game.

Hey is a community vote discount the highest discount likely for the sale? I forget.
If the leak from a couple months ago is to be believed (and hey it was right about everything else so far); daily, flash, and community choice should all be the same amount of discount for each individual game.
I haven't been able to keep up with the thread the past two days. The number of posts has exceeded my abilities. Class, class everywhere.
Since it's the holidays, I have a goofy little thing I'm doing...
When this thread hits the page that is equivalent to the day of my birth, I will send at least one gift out randomly.*
When this thread hits the page that is equivalent to the year (last two digits of course) of my birth, I will send at least one more.*
The Gut Challenge: Can you use the above to figure out my actual birthday, including year? There's a prize in it for you. PM me your guess when the time comes. The first person to guess correctly wins.**
*If you are one of the random recipients, make sure to post fairly quickly as the pages surely won't stop flying by.
**If you are one of the random recipients, you can win the challenge.
***As an assist and because I may want to give out other gifts, I will make sure to notify the recipient if the gift received is a Gut Challenge gift or not.
Just received a Gut Challenge gifting of Legend of Grimrock from @Mudzgut. Thanks!

Loved the THQ packs, never would have played guerrilla or armageddon if it wasn't for nostalgia telling me I needed red faction 1 and 2 again on another platform. A flashing sign saying deal helped too... Oh god I have a problem!
Dumb question, but is Spore worth it at that price? That's one game I've been avoiding for half? a decade now.
I know this is late, but I'm late. I have wanted to get this for my girl, and I would have at that price. Dang graveyards. Sleeping during the day. Bah humbug. I know I got her some good stuff, but she wanted this. I'm guessing $15 was the flash sale price? I can't seem to wishlist the package, does anyone know how you know if the package deal goes on sale?

yeah. I guess as time goes on it makes less amd less sense to offer them. Annoying though. Used to be that the christmas sale was for last years assassins creed

I return home from a rare night out with just my lady, no boy in tow, to find that @akajaybay has gifted me the brain twisting shmup Velocity Ultra. Portal in my shmup? Why I don't mind if I do.
@Scratchy has also hit me with Omegalodon, I tried the demo ages ago and had a blast, so I wishlisted this when it showed up on Steam. I will get my kaiju simulation on for sure now. Thanks a lot guys, a great end to a really fun night.

I hope there's only three entries because everyone else already owns it. Judging by my friends list, that does seem about right!

It's the same as a flash or daily, so yes.
That didnt fix anything either
