    If you are having problems connecting this is what steam have to say bout the matter, even there forums are experiencing dificulties................

    "There is currently a wide spread power outage in Bellevue/Seattle impacting Steam Server availability. Unfortunately ETA for when the power will be restored is unknown as the power company will only work on restoring it once the storm has eased and the high winds have died down.

    Any issues you are experiencing with connecting to Steam are only temporary, as this isn't an end-user issue.

    Please check this Forum or Steam News for further updates."

    Hopefully they'll add some backup generators after this. This is a pretty big hole in the system.

    Figures.

    It was only a matter of time for something like this to happen. It's that their EULA states they won't promise a erroneous service, otherwise there'd be a lot of angry people calling Valve about now.

    Funny, cuz when steam said it was having connection problems, the first thing I did was check the forums to see if all the CS noobs were complaining "OH NOEZ I CAN'T PLAY I'LL NEVER BUY ANYTHING ON STEAM AGAIN!" I've had very few problems with steam, virtually all of them being 100% valve's fault.
