Hier ein netter Beitrag eines HL2-Spielers aus dem steampowered.Forum:
Maybe it was just a glitch, maybe a conspiracy, maybe just a dream, but when I started HL2 the first time it was like this:
I start on a train and a guy says, "I didn't see you get on." I nudged the next guy on the train and he said, "No matter how many times I transfer, it never works and I have to start all over." When I get off the train there is a large screen monitor mounted high in all the rooms, and Gabe's face is on them all. He is spewing propaganda, "Welcome to City 7-Steam.....it's safer here..."
There are soldiers everywhere with Steam Logos on their uniforms. The first is pushing a man trying to get his luggage and zapping him with a cattle prod, saying "It's encrypted, just leave it alone, you can't use it, move along".
Then I get near the fence with a rotating gate and a woman on the other side says, "Have you seen my game? Was it on that train?"
All the people are wearing the same clothes that say "customer" on them like it's a brand name. I go through the gate and the woman says, "I'm waiting for my game...It's been 4 hours, but they're being nice and letting me wait!"
I continue on and as I walk I hear these steam-soldiers saying things under their masks. It's hard to understand most of it, but I heard, "Just get in line..." and "Put in your CD...". One pushed me and said, "You! Wait! Steam is busy right now, get back!"
One man was walking back and forth like a crazy person mumbling about, "It says connect to steam, but steam says can't connect...I can't connect so I can't play...It says it cant connect so I should go to the steam site. The steam site says page can not be dislplayed and so I should connect to steam. I connect to steam and steam says it's too busy, and the game is not available..."
Someone called me "Freeman", but I was not free, I was enslaved in the cattle coral with everyone else.
Continue.......
