Yeah I had to get a new computer but before that I "redid" my whole computer whatever you want to say. Pretty much I've been through that "hell" about 4 times. I never want to go back.

Anyone who's gone through a Half-Life 2 reinstall with updates (including Steam) knows true pain...especially if you have a few mods to go through. Took me basically a whole day, and since then countless more updates have been put out. Most of the time is in decrypting files.

Still that's a lot of downloading!

Still that's a lot of downloading! I have had to do that with Guild Wars AND Half-Life 2, I'd have to say half-life is more of a pain in the ass because steam is garbage.
