Steam Edit Meaning

1.

1. Noun. The gaseous form of water, H20.

2. Noun. An excellent idea that manifested itself in an extremely buggy and sometimes stupid program. Automatic patching? Great! A friends network? Why didn't they think of that before? A program slower than a sloth? Not good.

1. James Watt was principle in the development of an engine working using the pressure of super-heated steam.

2. Steam took too long to update itself, so the uber-1337 WON veteran Jimmy smashed his computer, before realising that he could just shut down steam and play Counter-Striike 1.5

Why does Friends Network work only about 25% of the time?

2.

1. a waste of code designed to turn good games (like CS, dod) into piles of shit,

2. the worst way to update games,

3. a REALLY bad idea,

4. a way of getting 56k players off half-life in the hope to reduce lag but because of the fuckups in code its laggy with more than 4 people playing on a server,

5. what you get if you fart on a cold day

steam is made for valves to laugh at

See hex_ten

3.

A program or web service that gains a poor reputation for being released in a buggyor incomplete state, and which then gradually improves until becoming a powerful tool/platform but cannot lose the negative stigma.

e.g. Steam, Windows 9x, Warcraft 3 beta, Star Wars: Galaxies

Forget CZ, if we release now we'll get a good STEAMING from out customers.

See Varsity

4.

A one-shot-one-kill weapon usable by gaming companies to kill a game. See "awp".

Valve1-0 killed Counter-Strike0-1 with "STEAM"

See Willy

5.

The only thing on the face of the earth that could have so many errors. Using it is like unwanted anal sex by some big burly man named Betty.

2)Satan's HL replacement for WON.

Wow, gg steam. GJ with making 24 out of the 29 people on NAR#2 the Gorge Hideout server randomly drop, completely ruining the game.

Wait... why are 666 and a bunch of pentagrams with stars in them included in the steam help file?

See Johnson

6.

The un-amazing way in which Valve has decided to let people play Counter-Strike and Half-Life, so buggy a program it is almost completley unusable.

"Damn, That's almost as buggy as Steam"

7.

The finest example of a commercialization of a popular game. Steam has only one main purpose and that's to fill Valves pockets. Steam takes away your freedom by forcing you to autoupdate annoying updates almost every week. Valve makes it impossible to add custom features, like skins or tools. Programmed by the noobs at Valve Corp.

Liberate Counter-Strike.
